stds-802-mobility: New Proposed for IEEE 802.20 March Plenary Schedule



All,
 
On February 13th I posted an email to the reflector expressing my disappointment with the high level agenda for our March meeting now on the web at http://www.ieee802.org/20/meet_agenda.htm.  I also suggested that we could save time by beginning our meeting at 1:00pm Monday rather than participating in the joint wireless opening plenary from 1:30 - 3:30pm.  Since that posting, a few people have expressed support for having 802.20 start our meeting earlier, and nobody has posted any notes opposing that idea.  As a consequence, I have taken the next step to develop a proposed revised agenda that gives us the possibility of making significantly more progress than the one now posted on the web site.  That proposed agenda is attached to this email. 
 
One of the requirements for being able to meet earlier is having the meeting room available.  I contacted Face-To-Face Events and was told that the meeting room that has been assigned to us is available from 1:00pm on Monday.  We need only ask for it.
 
Please review the attached agenda and express your approval or concerns to the reflector.  Please note that the proposed agenda has both the topics to be discussed and the time allocation for each topic.  Since we don't yet know what contributions will be submitted, the agenda may have to change.  The proposed schedule has almost two hours of flexible time on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday to accommodate such changes. 
 
Note that with this proposed revised agenda there are two other possible time periods for us to be holding Ad Hoc meetings, those times are Monday morning 8:00 - 11:00am, and Monday evening. We should look into the possibility of effectively utilizing those time slots as well. 
 
Whatever agenda we ultimately pass, I would like to see both the subjects to be covered and the time allocations on the schedule.  It is only by carefully managing our time that we can make the necessary progress.
 
Thank you.
 
Best regards,
