Re: [802SEC] Review of subgroups



Mike-

Since the membership is so small, I believe that it is important that you mention the other normal avenue to membership, i.e. that members of the EC are ex-officio members of 802.18.  On a contentious issue that could very well affect the outcome of a vote.

James,
 
Attached are the slides for 802.18.
 
I took the scope and duties directly from the Charter. Will that do for a summary?
 
As regards the statement on which of the following complementary activities is appropriate I made a slight edit on number 2 to make a better fit with the RR-TAG.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Best regards,
 
Mike
