Other Activities Discussed the maintenance of: IEEE Std 802.16.2-2004 “Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Recommended Practice for Coexistence of Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems” IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance03-2004 "IEEE Standard for Conformance to IEEE Standard 802.16 -  Part 3: Radio Conformance Tests (RCT) for 10-66 GHz WirelessMAN-SC Air Interface“ Recommendations from Maint TG: IEEE Std 802.16.2-2004 is still a valid and useful document. Recommend to reaffirm. IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance03-2004 is no longer valid as there is no known implementation of the SC PHY for 10-66 GHz in the marketplace, and no members of the IEEE 802.16 WG are supporting that feature of the standard. Also IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance01-2003 and IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance02-2003 are now withdrawn. Recommend to withdraw.

“To initiate a reaffirmation ballot for IEEE Std 802.16.2-2004.” Motions TG Chair has been authorized by the task group (2/0/0) to make the motion: “To initiate a reaffirmation ballot for IEEE Std 802.16.2-2004.” “To withdraw IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance03-2004.”
