802 restructuring ad hoc -- background • Restructuring objective – increase efficiency and responsiveness of 802 LMSC – Consider more autonomy for WGs and TAGs, while maintaining 802 brand identity, high quality standards and cross group collaboration/coordination – Possibly re-charter the 802 Executive Committee • Focus on long term growth, fostering new work, high level interactions with external organizations and public visibility. • Next Steps – Ongoing discussions at 1 hour monthly meetings, report out status each plenary – Deliverable: a well vetted and socialized recommendation for EC consideration within 12 months. 4

a) Discuss, refine and agree on the scope of the ad hoc • Areas of focus (per Steve. S recommendation) 1. Operational Efficiency (Area for Improvement) 1. This is where I would put the topic of reducing the time to get PARs approved, and submitted to Nes. Com in a timely manner aligned with their calendar, so we get a timely approval 2. I also heard the idea of training new groups. Maybe that is an area where we can make improvements. Maybe it would make us a preferred organization in which to start new standards, beyond those areas where we are well established. 2. Quality Standards (Maintain Good Performance) 1. Clearly we want to maintain our high-quality PAR review process, if we make any changes to the process 2. This might be where we discuss the Technical Review ideas mentioned on the call, and maybe that is an area for improvement 3. External Influence (Maintain Good Performance) 1. I heard an argument about our influence on Regulatory Bodies. I think having our unified 802 submissions to Regulatory Bodies is good. We probably want to maintain that strong process. 4. Strategic Planning (per Paul. N recommendation) 1. incubation of emerging areas, collaboration with internal and external Organizational Units to the IEEE, public visibility 5
