Resolution of Informal Review Comments
- The chair had requested 7 meeting slots during the May meeting, but only received 5 slots. (Chair noted that all task groups received less time than requested). All timeslots are clustered at the beginning of the week. The chair mentioned that he is investigating ways to improve the schedule (e.g. by swapping a meeting slot for a slot later in the week), but no guarantee that this will be possible.
- No changes were suggested to the agenda given the currently allocated meeting slots.
Given the restricted meeting time during the May meeting, the chair suggested it will likely be useful to hold the tentative ad-hoc face-to-face meeting 13-15 June (location tbd), which was approved at the March 802.11 WG meeting, to provide sufficient time to work on resolution of informal review comments.
-The location for the face-to-face must be announced at least 30 days prior to the meeting (by May 12th in this case). Thus the chair requested that anyone who would like to host the ad-hoc meeting should send a mail to the TGs reflector and/or directly to .
-The decision to hold the ad-hoc meeting and its location should be made by or at the time of the TGs teleconference scheduled on May 10th in order to allow the meeting details to be announced by the May 12th deadline.
The chair noted that no informal comments have yet been received from the call for comments. Reminder that comments are due by May 1st and should be sent to both and .
The chair noted that two more TGs teleconferences are scheduled before the May meeting, on 26 April and 10 May. There was a consensus not to cancel either of them.
The Chair adjourned the call at 11:21 EDT.
