September 2000 Scope Provide a formal vehicle within IEEE 802.15 to track the activities of the Bluetooth SIG Radio2 Working Group and recommend appropriate action to 802. 2.0 Specification/Radio2 could be an extension to the existing 802.15.1 PAR 2.0 Specification/Radio2 could be a supplement to 802.15.1 2.0 Specification/Radio2 may become available to the IEEE in 2001 as another derivative work product or something else Tom Siep, Texas Instruments

September 2000 Deliverables Provide formal reports to the WG, updating the membership on the 2.0 Specification Liaise to Bluetooth SIG, providing updates to the Radio2 WG, updating their membership on the IEEE 802.15 R2SG Solicit and receive contributions to assist the R2SG make their pending recommendation's Provide a plenary week tutorial to 802; target Nov00. If warranted, develop PAR and Five Criteria Tom Siep, Texas Instruments
