Dear LMSC/EC Members,
With this email I would like to announce the start of an LMSC(EC) ballot on
ex parte comments to the FCC on response to their NPRM proposing
re-configuration of the 5.9GHz band from ITS to unlicensed and ITS and
allowing C-V2X instead of just DSRC (802.11p and .11bd). The purpose of the
Ex Parte is to inform the FCC exactly how we prefer IEEE 802.11 standards
to be cited in a new 5.9 GHz rule.
A key point are dates. The understanding is the R&O is due out at the
November FCC Open Commission Meeting. The Draft R&O is due out 28 October
2020 (next wednesday). Then there is time period the FCC is open for
inputs until 11November, which at that time they no longer look at new
inputs. Our desire is, if the ex parte is approved, is to get to the FCC
at the beginning of this last review period, starting 28 October to give
the FCC time to review and considered IEEE 802 inputs. Why the early
close.
Paul has delegated to me to conduct a LMSC(EC) Early Close 10-day
electronic ballot on the motion below to approve the comments to the FCC.
This EC motion is per IEEE 802 OM 7.2.1 Procedure, P&P 7.1 b) (majority
response) and P&P 7.1.2 (2/3 approval of votes cast) for communication with
government bodies and public statements.
