Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures, 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 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.

2. doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0186r0 Submission January 2007 Guenael Strutt, MotorolaSlide 2 Abstract Comment resolution for LB93 labelled “RFI”. RFI stands for “Routing, Forwarding and Interworking”.

3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0186r0 Submission January 2007 Guenael Strutt, MotorolaSlide 3 RFI comment resolution RFI started with 672 technical comments. 34% of the comments were resolved and adopted Methodology: –All “please clarify” comments were deferred –Comments that were rejected in principle but deserved a technical justification were deferred as well

4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0186r0 Submission January 2007 Guenael Strutt, MotorolaSlide 4 Moving forward The 444 “Defer” comments should be categorized The idea is to assist in the preparation of resolution proposals –E.g. is someone has a solution for CID 751, the solution might as well resolve CIDs 4616, 3, 519, 1249, 1914, 4617 etc. We’ll save time if we resolve comments in bundles
