Email Reflector Request


Member access

If you are an 802.11 participant, use the form below to request access (subscribe) to the 802.11 email reflectors.

If you are not an 802.11 participant, do not fill in the form.

You can check whether or not you are a participant by looking for your name here. If you are listed you are a participant.

Subscriptions to and use of these reflectors are subject to the IEEE 802.11™ WG Policies and Procedures. Note in particular the policy on confidentiality notices, which is repeated at the bottom of this page.

This form offers the choice of adding or removing some or all of the task group and standing committee reflectors. As a paricipant you should subscribe and should remain subscribed to the working group reflector. Don't unsubscribe to the working group reflector unless you do not intend to continue your participation.

Once you are a list subscriber, you can update your subscriptions using this form or, alternatively, you can create a password on the list server here and manage subscriptions yourself.

Non-member access

IEEE 802.11 provides a public reflector, to which all messages on its working group reflector are copied so that members of the public can observe the work of the 802.11 working group. You can join or leave the public reflector here. Anybody may join this list. Subscribers to this list are provided with read-only access (i.e., they cannot post to the list).

There is also a web-based interface through which the public can monitor email traffic on all the reflectors at the following locations:

Policy on confidentiality notices

Many companies automatically append confidentiality notices to the emails originating from their servers. This is not allowed under IEEE rules of openness.

The 802.11 chair will remove your access to a reflector if your emails contain such a statement. If you are affected by corporate confidentiality notices, you can set up an email account outside your corporate environment and under your control. Send an email to the WG Chair or Vice Chair asking for a global change on the email reflectors for the new email address.

Below is an extract from the IEEE 802 LMSC Chair Guidlines, section 2.17, which provides detail on the policy.

IEEE 802 operates in an open manner. To that end, no material submitted to IEEE 802, or any of its sub-groups, will be accepted or considered if it contains any statement that places any burden on the recipient(s) with respect to confidentiality or copyright. Any communication, including electronic mail, containing language with such restrictive wording will not be accepted or considered.
