Other WG activities:
The reports for the individual task groups are linked below:
- 802.11e draft 13.0 was approved to be forwarded to RevCom for final approval.
- The working group took a position against the 802.1am PAR, and directed the WG chair to represent that position in the ExCom meeting.
- The Contention Based Protocol Study Group (CBP) voted to withdraw their PAR submission to ExCom at this meeting, due to uncertainty of the FCCs actions. The WG voted to extend the study group, and authorized submission of the PAR for approval at the November plenary (subject to reaffirmation by the working group at that time).
