Dear EC Members,

In an e-mail sent to this reflector two weeks ago a process was outlined to 
develop an IEEE 802 LMSC position on potential revisions to ISO/IEC TR 
8802-1:2001, which documents a cooperation process between IEEE 802 LMSC and 
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6/WG1.

Since that time a small group has contributed to a draft position IEEE 802 
LMSC statement for submission to Robin Tasker (editor of 8802-1) by 27 Sept 
06. Andrew Myles coordinated the activity and developed the draft position 
statement in the attached powerpoint document. Contributions were received 
from Geoff Thompson, Steve Mills, Pat Thaler, David Law, Andrew Myles, Gary 
Robinson, Bob Pritchard and Paul Nikolich. The draft position does not 
necessarily represent the views of all contributors.

The original plan was to have a teleconference next week to discuss the 
position statement. However, the lack of response from the EC (and, 
presumably, their WG/TAG membership) suggests this is probably not a useful 
exercise. The lack of response is not surprising because, although the the 
relationship with ISO/IEC is important, it is "esoteric standards work", 
orthogonal to the interests of most Working Group members.

A slightly modified process to approve this document will now be followed:

  a.. The draft position statement is attached to this e-mail for comments 
by the 802 EC. Comments should be sent to the 802 EC reflector and cc'ed to 
Andrew Myles (andrew.myles@cisco.com). The closing date for comments is 5pm 
ET on Thursday, 7 Sept 06.
  b.. Andrew Myles will generate an updated version of the draft position 
statement based on these comments by 7am ET on Friday, 8 Sept 06.
  c.. The 8 Sept 06 version will be sent out for EC approval via an 802 EC 
e-mail ballot on 8 Sept 06. The ballot will close on 17 Sept 06.
  d.. If the EC ballot fails, Andrew Myles will make further changes early 
in the week during the IEEE 802.11 WG interim session in Melbourne and a 
second 802 EC e-mail ballot will be issued with a closing date of 26 Sept 
06.
  e.. I want to avoid a second EC e-mail ballot--hence the 1-7 Sept comment 
period--please, please, please provide your input prior to 5 pm ET 7 Sept 
06.
  f.. Assuming a position statement is approved, it will be sent to Robin 
Tasker on 26 Sept 06.
Andrew Myles is available to discuss the draft position statement at any 
time after 5am (3pm ET) any day next week on +61 2 84461010 (W) or +61 418 
656587 (M).
