May 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -08/0642 r 0 Expectations • • Conformance to policy and procedures of IEEE-SA, IEEE 802. 11 Develop an amendment incorporating components of WAPI – WPI appears within scope of the IEEE 802. 11 standard – Portions of WAI do not appear to be within scope of the IEEE 802. 11 standard – Will not include material beyond scope as normative text • Probable that text will be broken up and published by different groups in different standards • Must create a PAR and 5 Criteria to authorize the process – Subject to approval of 802. 11 membership, 802 Ex. Com, … • • All amendments need active participation from interested parties to improve chance for success Draft text evolves to meet concerns of voters – Every comment must be addressed • LOA required if there is a possibility of essential patents Submission 8 Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation

May 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -08/0642 r 0 • Want a WAPI Tutorial in WNG for July – Need to acknowledge, however, that parts of WAPI are out of scope: this would give their cause a boost Submission 9 Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation
