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, 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.

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.

The meeting was chaired by Bruce Kraemer from Conexant. Executive Summary (also see closing report doc. 11-04-1512r0): TGn was only granted 18 hours of meeting time. 21 Partial proposals were each given 2 minutes to review the key points of their proposal followed by a general Q&A and then a panel format Q&A session. A comparison presentation, doc 11-04-1400r4, was given. The 4 complete proposals were updated for 1 hour each and each proposal was given a dedicated 1 hour period for Q&A. This was followed by a panel session Q&A and 5 minute summary. A Low Hurdle Vote (LHV) was held for the complete proposals where proposals not receiving 25% of the vote would be eliminated. The results of the LHV were MITMOT=47.37%; TGnSync=73.68%; WWiSE=64.66% and Qualcomm=56.77% so none of the proposals were eliminated. The detailed voting results have been appended to these minutes. The key agenda items for the January meeting were discussed. It will follow a similar format however the vote taken in January will be an Elimination vote. Time permiting, a Vice-Chair election will be held at the January meeting.
