ANA Announcements• Current ANA announced to group is 802.11-09-0031r17. (12/23/2010)

– See https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/file/08/11-09-0031-14-0000-ana-database-assigned-numbers.xls

– All new requests received by end of meeting will be uploaded and announced via 802.11 WG reflector

• Procedure for ANA is contained in 07/0827r0.– See http://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/public/07/11-07-0827-00-0000-assigned-number-authority-ana-mechanisms.ppt

• Editorial Guidance– ANA assignments should be done before the time of moving from WG LB to

Sponsor ballot.– If a resource number is not in the ANA Database, please use <ANA> in drafts!– Editors to replace any ANA controlled resources numbers with <ANA> upon

incorporation of material into drafts. – ANA will control SMT, Groups, could use TG-specific numbering until going

to Sponsor Ballot

Report

Numbering Alignment Process

• Update from all published standards. Posted as 11-08/644r19 (11/1/2010) By Bill Marshall

• TGz D12 started a new update cycle. 11v D16, 11u D13, numbering needs to be completed. 11s D7 is the next, then 11ae, 11af, 11aa, 11ad, 11ac, 11ah, 11ai

• Create a working group MEC that includes numbering and ANA before going to Sponsor Ballot

• We use more columns for the two baselines.

Report

Amendment & other ordering notes

• Editors define publication order independent of working group public timelines:– Since official timeline is volatile and moves around– Publication order helps provide stability in amendment numbering,

figures, clauses and other numbering assignments– Editors are committed to maintain a rational publication order

• Numbering spreadsheet 08/0644:– Succeeding amendments to do their respective updates– Must match the official timeline after plenaries– We are seeing problems in MIB numbering, and say at end of WG

LB, our internal MEC insists that the numbering spreadsheet is correct

Report

Pre-RevCom IEEE-SA Review

• Possibly near the end of Working Group Letter Ballot (3rd recirc or 4th recirc) , we will offer the draft to the publications editor for review. This allows ambiguities and errors to be addressed in Sponsor Ballot by comments, rather than discover the ambiguities and errors after RevCom. It appears that during MEC is the least risky time for a publication editor’s review.

• TGs Draft 7.0 went to LB166 out of July plenary, and by agreement with ExCom and IEEE SA staff, went for professional editing for ~50 days, after which Draft 8.0 will be available for recirculation Sponsor Ballot.

• Our experience with this process led us to have an 802.11 MEC by our 802.11 Technical Editor

Report

FrameMaker V9 transition

• January 2011 IEEE-SA will use FrameMaker 9.0 exclusively for drafts submitted in FrameMaker

• 802.11 editors want to have Visio version of each figure to go into the rollup if the figures are not drawn in Frame. Will work with non-windows editors on their figures.

Report

MIB style, Visio and Frame practices

• I’m going to suggest going forward we use a single style with appropriately set tabs, and use leading Tabs to distinguish the syntax and description parts. (Adrian Stephens Feb 9, 2010)

• Keep embedded figures using visio as long as possible– Near the end of sponsor ballot, turn these all into .wmf (windows

meta file) format files (you can do this from visio using “save as”). Keep separate files for the .vsd source and the .wmf file that is linked to from frame.

• Frame templates for 11aa, 11ac, 11ad, 11af

Abstract: This work area investigates the strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, and constraints of existing and emerging standards-based physical media for wireless communications. The approach is to work with the appropriate standard development organizations (SDOs) to determine the characteristics of each technology for Smart Grid application areas and types. Results are used to assess the appropriateness of wireless communications technologies for meeting Smart Grid applications.

• Australia has issued a call for candidates for their Smart Metering HAN

• Responses from 802 should be provided– Probably best from individual WG, e.g 802.11, 802.15, 802.16

Group conclusion

• Agreed that the revised question to Australia should be further developed by the 802 WGs and ideally sent as one question from the collective group.

• If that approach is not feasible, at least expect each WG to submit a similarly worded question.

• WG chairs will refine the language in time to respond by the Jan 31 deadline. Given the US - Australia time offset and that Jan 31 is Monday the 802 WGs completion date should be Friday Jan 28.
