Re: [802SEC] 802.11 Regulatory Standing Committee DSRC Tiger Team ad hoc timeline



Hi Adrian and All:

I appreciate Adrian's summary, and agree with all of it except the idea that the Tiger Team did not vote on its report because such a vote would have failed.  I believe Tiger Team participants did generally support the report and that a vote on the report would have passed.  We did not vote in the TT because we never planned to vote in the TT.  The timeline Paul provided gives a sense of the process that the TT followed.

Here are the two points that it is important to me that the EC understand:
A couple of quotes from the October 3, 2014 TT meeting minutes illustrate the early articulation of the plan for the report (see 11-14-1347r0):
Chair commented that he has been discussing with the Chair of the REG SC the use of an online service such as SurveyMonkey to conduct a straw poll to gather the opinions of the Tiger Team participants on how they feel about the two proposals, as opposed to trying to make a motion and try to attain 75% approval in a formal IEEE 802.11 Working Group sense. Chair comments that he does not think that the number of IEEE 802.11 voters that participate in the Tiger Team are representative of the broader group. The results of such a poll would be submitted as part of this group's final report to the REG SC. ...

Chair comments that the intent of the REG SC was to see if we could gain consensus on single proposal. If we cannot do that, then what we are left with is for the Tiger Team to summarize the proposals that have been submitted, do a straw poll on them to ascertain the level of support for each, and send those results to the REG SC, but not try to pass judgment on any one particular approach.

Hello all,

 

I think we need to be careful with words like consensus,  because they mean different things

to different people.

 

There was no formal approval of the Tiger Team report by the Tiger Team.  I believe that approval

was not sought in the Tiger Team,  because it was clear to participants that it would not obtain

75% approval.

 

There was no formal approval of the Tiger Team report by the REG SC.

 

There were various questions asked by straw poll both within the Tiger Team and the REG SC,  and

the results to these questions can be found in the Tiger Team report and REG SC minutes.   Being

straw polls,  they have no formal standing.  A motion on the same question may or may not produce

the same outcome – but we don’t know.

 

The only formal approval by 802.11 was a procedural motion to forward the Tiger Team report to 802.18,

without endorsing it in any way.

 

Best Regards,

 

Adrian P STEPHENS

All,

This wording is somewhat confusing to me.

 

In the first sentence it states that there is no consensus within IEEE 802.  However, bullet 1 indicates individuals from 802 met with DSRC representatives, and this group was unable to reach consensus.

 

What is not clear to me was there a lack of consensus within 802 or in the tiger team, which consisted of 802 and DSRC representatives. 

 

I am not sure if I am missing something or if this is a wording issue, but it is somewhat confusing.

 

John

All

 From what I have been told, what the EC should approve is as follows:
----------------------------
The IEEE 802 EC would like to state that while  IEEE 802 has no
consensus regarding an answer to the question, IEEE 802 would like to
state the following:
  1) IEEE 802 participants met in a Tiger Team with DSRC representatives
to discuss the issue.
  2) While there was a good exchange of ideas, the group was unable to
reach consensus.
  3) IEEE 802 EC would like to report that participants discussed
various issues, as outlined in http://mentor.ieee.org/... but that we
can take no position on the issue before the FCC.
  4) IEEE 802 encourages similar discussions and efforts for consensus
in the future regarding regulatory matters.

Thanks
Chair of IEEE 802
----------------------------

I can support sending that letter to the FCC.  Anything else would
misrepresent the consensus of IEEE 802 (from what I have been told).

IMHO.
