Tim and James,
Thanks for all the work. This looks like it could be a really nice
activity.
I have a few comments:
(1) I think that the list of topics is a little confusing. At the
beginning and end of the list, we have some wide-open topics. In the
middle, we have two very narrow topics that many people won't even
understand. (And one refers to IEE instead of IEEE).
I guess that's OK in general, though it's not my personal preference.
However, I would really like one addition to the list:
-Innovative technology for IEEE 802 standardization
This would be an opening for someone to suggest a new idea that could be
the basis of a new standard. To me, something interesting in that area
could be one of the primary benefits of the program for 802, and I don't
see it covered by the current list.
(2) More explicit rules would help the author, and also the reviewers
(who will already have a tough time comparing due to the wide range of
topics).These don't need to be on the flyer, but we could point to a web
site. The key missing pieces I see are:
-An optional template, which is particularly useful because we are
probably looking for a format that is unlike what we usually expect to
see as a contribution, so people may be confused. See, for example:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
-A view regarding whether the material could be submitted to an IEEE
journal without violating IEEE self-plagiarism policies.
(3) I think it would be better to delete "(not including figures)". 7
pages is way more than anyone could present in a meeting.
(4) I don't understand the last column of the table: it says that these
papers would be presented but not published, though publication simply
means posting the material to mentor. To me, it's very odd, and
counterproductive, to have documents presented to 802 that are not
available. In my opinion, therefore, the lower right corner of the table
should have a check.
(5) I think that "grant" should be "grants" in the headline.

EC Members,
The attached flyer for the contest has been prepared by Tara Gallus at
IEEE. James and I reviewed it, and the details are consistent with
the EC presentation/proposal presented in July. The plan is to
announce the contest next week. This version is close to final - the
only outstanding change is the email address for submission. That will
be shortened to "802studentpaper@ieee.org" due to length limitations
for IEEE aliases.
Thanks,
Tim.
