In response to the query:
"IEEE SA will need your input on whether there are standards
developed under your Standards Committee where country-specific
changes could substantially impact the standard's implementation
worldwide"
The answer is any and all wireless standards would be impacted by
country-specific changes, in particular, to spectrum
availability.
In general (for wireless): The adoption of national standards
may become essential to competing in some markets. In some
regions regulations call out specific standards in spectrum
regulations. This can limit opportunity for implementation of 802
standards in some regions and some bands. We've had some
experience with this in 802.18 (and had a positive impact in some
regions). We may want to consider this in deciding if and how we
would participate in the IEEE program.
Just food for thought. Probably a good thing to discuss in
802.18 in January, if there is time (Jay?)

Dear 802 EC Members,
Please see the below notice
from IEEE SA regarding National Body Adoptions. I already
spoke with Yvette Ho San to indicate IEEE 802 most likely will
not participate in the program because our stakeholders cannot
tolerate any potential for errors in country specific changes or the
translation process.

Subject: National Body Adoption of IEEE standards
To Standards Committees
IEEE SA has created a new program that will be
implemented in the first quarter of 2020. The
program will be a more streamlined process for
National Body adoption of IEEE standards. The
non-editable template agreement will permit
country-specific changes and translations.
Countries would be able to adopt IEEE standards as
national body standards, and include changes they
would like to make that, for example, might
include changes due to geography, infrastructure,
regulatory requirements, etc. In order to
determine which standards will be available under
this program, IEEE SA will need your input on
whether there are standards developed under your
Standards Committee where country-specific changes
could substantially impact the standard's
implementation worldwide (e.g., functionality or
interoperability). Please inform your Program
Manager by 24 January 2020 of any relevant
standards.
Best regards,
Karen
