• Task Group F began a 40 day working group letter ballot to forward 802.11f-D3 to Sponsor Ballot (LB32). The WG motion passed 75:0:2.
• Task Group G brought forward a motion to conduct a working group letter ballot on 802.11g Draft 2.1. The Task Group passed the motion to send the draft to letter ballot by a vote of 44:0:1. The working group was not able to vote on the motion because the meeting was prematurely adjourned by a call for quorum. The interim meeting had been specifically empowered to send a TGg draft to letter ballot at the November Plenary. After the meeting, the WG chair and vice chairs met and decided to re-confirm the working group's support for a TGg letter ballot with a 5 day email ballot (LB31) running from January 25 - 30, 2002. This confirmation ballot passed 145:31:19. Based on that result, a 40 day letter ballot (LB33) to forward draft 2.1 of 802.11g to Sponsor Ballot began on January 31, 2002.
