The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802. 11. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http: // ieee 802. org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws. pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. " Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <stuart. kerry@philips. com> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802. 11 Working Group.

Patents IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either: a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.

September 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0854 r 1 TGn Quick Review of July 18 -22 ’ 05 Meeting in San Francisco, California, USA Submission 8 Bruce Kraemer, Conexant

September 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0854 r 1 Plans for July Initially reused Agenda for January as a place holder • Which in rough outline form was: Now to July • Update technical proposals posted by 10 days prior to July meeting • Email questions Single Stream adhoc teleconferences every 2 weeks beginning June 6 In Session July 18 -22 • Proposal presentations • Q&A • Elimination vote Submission 9 Bruce Kraemer, Conexant

September 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0854 r 1 Procedure from doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -03/665 r 9 • Step 16: • Rounds of voting will be held that successively eliminate one candidate proposal at a time. On each round of voting, the candidate proposal that receives the least number of votes shall be eliminated from consideration. In the event of a tie for the least number of votes, a separate vote shall be held to select which of the candidates receiving the least votes shall be eliminated in the current round. The other candidate(s) shall remain for the next round. Between rounds of voting, presenters will again have the opportunity to merge proposals and/or make technical changes to their proposals. If a merger occurs or if technical changes are made to a proposal, all presenters shall have the opportunity to present the details of their proposal again. If two or more proposals are left, time permitting and at the discretion of the TGn Chair there may be a Panel Discussion with all the remaining Presenters. The rounds of voting will continue until only one candidate proposal remains. The order in which the proposals are eliminated will be recorded in the minutes. This ordering will serve as the ranking of the eliminated proposals needed in step 18. Submission 10 Bruce Kraemer, Conexant

September 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0854 r 1 Selection Procedure (continued) 11. During steps 9, 16 and 18, mergers will be allowed between remaining proposals, and between remaining proposals and proposals that have been eliminated. Mergers will not be allowed between eliminated proposals only. The TGn chair will provide an opportunity for the task group to decide by simple majority whether proposals that have merged or that have technical changes require normal time for consideration prior to a down-selection vote (4 meeting hours) or require extended time. Time extension beyond 24 hours shall require support of 2/3 of the voting members present. Submission 11 Bruce Kraemer, Conexant

September 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -05/0854 r 1 Motion: Moved: Because the TGn selection process allows proposals to ask for time to complete mergers prior to consideration, M&T&W are granted time to complete a merged Joint Proposal (JP) that will replace the current three remaining TGn proposals. The time line is: July 2005: – Provide time this week (ref 5557 R 0 Bruce’s opening report) for these groups to go work on this effort. Sept 2005 – JP draft will be provided to TGn; Q&A sessions on JP to that time. November 2005: – JP replaces current 3 proposals; Confirmation vote on JP. Vote: 195/2/3 Submission 12 Bruce Kraemer, Conexant
