doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -01 -461 r 0 May 2001 Meeting Summary • Secretary/editor and liaisons chosen • Straw poll indicated strong support for a Coexistence TAG • Cx. SG will have initial conference call in two weeks – Email distribution to attendees – Will begin work on bylaws/operating rules • Chair to research prior TAGs • Will need to determine how TAG gets called in – Correspondence will be sent to 11/15/17 liaison – Separate reflector? • Goal will be to have draft of operating rules by Portland – Ratified by attendees – Finalized and published thereafter Submission 11 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation

doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -01/253 r 0 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -01 -461 r 0 May 2001 Conclusion • Coexistence is becoming increasingly important in IEEE 802 wireless standards • This study will recommend to Ex. Com the policies and procedures for future wireless standards • Needs to be coordinated with Ex. Com regulatory Submission 12 Jim Lansford, Mobilian Corporation
