Re: [802SEC] +++Request to conduct 10 Day EC Ballot on TVWS submission+++



Bruce,

Not to insert myself into this unnecessarily, but 802.11 had two representative on the December conference call that finalized the document, Richard Kennedy and Peter Ecclesine, both of whom have voting rights in 802.18.

This was a difficult document to get consensus on, even at the November plenary, so their were many opinions that had to be accommodated.

Mike,

 

I vote disapprove.

During the course of December the document content changed significantly. It no longer reflects the interests of 802.11.

 

A few Comments on the changes and change process:

 

1.       Paragraph 5 (stricken)– why remove? 802 created 802.11af specifically for TVWS.

2.       Paragraph 6 (stricken)– good paragraph supporting unlicensed. Peter who has cellular agenda objected to any strong unlicensed statement and it was consequently removed.

3.       New paragraph 7- paragraph only talks about rural but we support unlicensed spectrum in urban areas too – in fact without it we have no business case- this sentence is not what our message should be which is we need guaranteed at least 3 channels in urban areas for WiFi in TVWS to have a business case.

4.       Paragraphs 9/10/11 (stricken in green) – we can at least keep 11.

5.       Paragraphs 13/14 (stricken in green/yellow) – we can at least keep 14.

6.       Paragraph 17 – this should be kept in but was removed “IEEE 802 supports allowing part 15 whitespace devices in the guard bands and the duplex gaps.

 

Regards,

Bruce

Bruce,

Rounding out the extension to the 11th of January is fine. I presume that no one will object to having the additional time.

Best regards,

Mike

Mike,

I would support an extension – could we round it out to Friday January 11th?

Pat and EC,

 

I agree with Pat and had considered a different date. Will it be acceptable to extend the ballot to January 9th?

 

Please advise if there are any objections. Thus far there have been two votes, both to approve, from myself and Steve Shellhammer.

 

Best regards,

 

Mike

Dear Michael,

 

I’d like to request that this vote be extended since it was started on December 24 and many people took the time between that and January 1 off.

 

Regards,

Pat

Dear EC,

 

At the November IEEE 802 Plenary in San Antonio work was begun in 802.18 on an input to the FCC regarding FCC TV Band Incentive Auction NPRM  and, in particular, on the license exempt use of a portion of that spectrum. It was not possible to finish that document in San Antonio so 802.18 held two conference calls and completed the document. The final result was that the comments were approved by a vote of 7 yes, 0 no and 1 abstain.

 

I have asked Paul to allow me to conduct a ten day EC email ballot to approve submitting the comments (Doc. 18-12-0109-08) to the FCC.

 

Paul’s response to my request is:

 

“I will authorize a 10 day EC email ballot, to be conducted by Mike Lynch, for the following motion.”

 

Motion:

 

“To approve, under OM Subclause 8.2, document 18-12-0109-08 subject to the early close provision of OM Subclause 4.1.2.2."

 

Moved Mike Lynch, Seconded Apurva Mody

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/dcn/12/18-12-0109-08-0000-draft-802-comments-fcc-tvband-auction-nprm.doc

 

Comments are to be submitted to the FCC by January 25th, 2013 and reply comments by March 12th, 2013.

 

The ballot will start December 26th..

 

The ballot will close January 4th, unless enough ballots have been received to meet the early closure provision of OM Subclause 4.1.2.2.

 

Regards and Happy Holidays to all,

 

Mike
