New Proposed Organization November 2000 New Proposed Organization New title: Wireless Coexistence Task Group Jointly address all 802 Wireless Coexistence Issues A forum for collaboration between 802.11, 802.15 and 802.16 on all issues of coexistence arising with Wireless 802 Working Groups Steve Shellhammer, Symbol Technologies Al Petrick, Parker Vision

New Proposed Organization November 2000 New Proposed Organization This new structure meets the two needs of the 802 Wireless Working Groups A joint forum to address all wireless coexistence issues of of relevance to the IEEE 802 Participants of the Wireless Coexistence Task Group can maintain membership in their “home” Working Group.
