4.a Santa Clara ad hoc logistics. 14 people have indicated they will attend. Note that today is the cut-off day for group hotel registration. If you plan to attend and have not notified and , please do so.
4.b Comments received so far in LB 126. Chair has received 12 sets of comments, 2 from one person. Chair will summarize all in a spreadsheet and distribute in document 11-08/493r0 [Has been uploaded.]. Version r1 will be a complete replacement with the official comment resolution spreadsheet.
Question:
- How to provide comments at separate times?
No official rule. Chair recommended submitting a complete replacement document each time, but in this case he will try to merge together if necessary. Otherwise there is no way to withdraw comments. Chair will ask Adrian Stephens.
4.c. Santa Clara ad hoc agenda. See document 11-08/461r1. As usual there will likely be 4 subgroups for comment resolution: General, MAC, Security and RFI. If any one subgroup has excessive comments, the Chair may further sub-divide that group. Hoping for less than 1000 comments ;-( Chair has obtained permission for a group photo from the 802.11 chair if TGs agrees. There were no comments or suggested changes to the agenda.
4.d. Jacksonville agenda. See document 11-08/462r1. Chair received a request for presentation on the 12th from an MIT author. Will put it in the 1:30-3:30 slot. We have a lot of meeting time.
