That meeting was very well attended and during it Apurva suggested doing an information paper for the ITU-R that would describe what is happening within 802 that related to TVWS. The result was that .11, .15, .19 and .22 agreed to create this contribution to ITU-R.

Hopefully this ballot can be completed early so that the IEEE SA ITU-R liaison can send it by the morning of the 18th US CDT.

Just prior to the start of 802.18's May 12th meeting I received an email from the person representing the US Navy in ITU-R for matters dealing with CRS. In it he asked if I "had insight to IEEE engagement in standards development OR any knowledge of the equipment manufacturers currently exploring this market." This certainly answers as regards IEEE 802.
