4.4. Chair reviewed other guidelines for IEEE WG meetings.
4.5. Chair reviewed the TG chair function.
5. Rich Kennedy reviewed the current issues of TGaf
5.1. Rich Kennedy mentioned there will be a section in TGaf draft for the TGac PHY.
5.2. Rich Kennedy said the current focus is still comment resolution.
6. Peter Ecclesine reviewed the editing status of the TGaf.
6.1. Peter Ecclesine said he is preparing a draft text that attempts to solve the indexical problems.
6.2. Peter Ecclesine 246 comments are still waiting for resolutions.
6.3. Peter proposed to change the owning group of the following comment CIDs.
6.3.1. CID 34 changes from MAC RLQP to EDITOR (editing instruction)
6.3.2. CID 174 changes from MAC CPM to EDITOR (IE length correction)
6.3.3. CID 387 changes from to General (support 11s mesh, like CID 708)
6.3.4. CID 394 changes from MLME, CVS to CSM (is CSM comment, not CVS)
6.3.5. CID 1116 changes from MLME, DSE to CSM, NCC (Protected dual brittle)
6.3.6. CID 1117 changes from MAC DSE to CSM, NCC (Protected dual brittle)
6.3.7. CID 1145 changes from MAC DSE to EDITOR (PICS CF15)
6.3.8. Peter asked if there is any objection to make the transfer. No objections were received.
6.4. Peter proposed to change the owning group of the following comment CIDs.
6.4.1. CID 1173 changes from MAC Security to CAQ (authoritative list of channels)
6.4.2. CID 1175 changes from MAC RLQP to CAQ (authoritative list of channels)
6.4.3. CID 1185 changes from MAC RLQP to CAQ (authoritative list of channels)
6.4.4. CID 1186 changes from MAC Security to CAQ (authoritative channels)
6.4.5. Peter asked if there is any objection to make the transfer.
6.4.5.1. Padam Kafle (Nokia) responded more time is needed for reviewing the comments and deciding to move them to CAQ.
7. Discussions on the TLV format for spectrum mask.
7.1. Peter Ecclesine mentioned EIRP power is more useful to a database than conducted power.
7.2. Peter Ecclesine proposed to add a general spectrum mask that gives more precise shape of the spectrum mask.
7.3. Eunsun Kim asked to where the spectrum mask should be reported.
7.4. Peter Ecclesine responded the rules on this respect have not completed yet. It might be needed for the client to report the mask as an optional function.
7.5. Chen Sun (NICT) commented start and end frequency are not needed because the systems when they report they have the start frequency and end frequency reported in different container.
7.6. Padam Kafle asked what are linear interpolated.
7.7. Peter Ecclesine responded the output EIRP will be linearly interpolated between the points that are reported.
7.8. Vinko Erceg (Broadcom) asked whether the start frequency and end frequency are for the mask itself or for the channel.
7.9. Peter Ecclesine responded they are for the mask itself.
8. Rich Kennedy suggested changing next week meeting instead of cancelling it even though it maybe overlaps with other face to face discussions, because there are only three conference calls till November meeting .
9. Chair asked if there is any other business, hearing none. The conference call was adjourned at 22:22ET.
