stds-802-mobility: New PARs from 802.1, 802.11 and 802.15



All,
 
802.11 has generated four new PARs which they intend to bring forward to the SEC closing plenary in March for Approval.  They are on Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment, Fast Roaming, Mesh Networking, and a PAR Revision.  In addition, 802.15 has generated four new PARs now posted at http://ieee802.org/15/pending.html, and 802.1 has a PAR posted at http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2004/ConnectivityFaultPAR-v1.2a.doc
 
Members of each WG, including ours, should be reviewing the PARs to determine if we have any interest in the work being done, or concerns about the development of that work.  If we have concerns it is up to us to notify our chair, individually, or by WG motion, so that he can air our concerns at the SEC meeting and vote accordingly.  We should also determine if we want representatives of 802.1, 802.11 and / or 802.15 to make presentations on one or more of their PARs during our March meeting. 
 
Jerry, please circulate or post the 3 PARs from 802.11 and their associated 5 Criteria that Stuart Kerry has forwarded to the SEC.
 
All, if you have any interest or concerns in the new work that 802.1, 802.11 or 802.15 will be undertaking, please review the PARs prior to the March meeting, so that you will be in a position to request time on our 802.20 WG agenda, prior to our Agenda approval, and to request that we invite those groups to our meeting to review their new PAR material.
 
Thank you.
 
Best regards,
