Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws sub-clause 6.2]: “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search

Patent Related Links All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.

Call for Potentially Essential Patents If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: Either speak up now or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or Cause an LOA to be submitted

Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Meeting Goals Recap July 802.15 Plenary and Current Status 07/12/10 Meeting Goals Recap July 802.15 Plenary and Current Status Agenda and Mins. Approval Review Scope Review SB Recirc #1 Results Comment Resolution Re-Establish TG10 BRC Prepare WG Motion for Conditional Approval to Proceed to RevCom Review & Update Timeline Next Steps Page 8

Jul 12, 2010 07/12/10 TG10 Scope Scope This recommended practice identifies protocols that route packets in a dynamically changing 802.15.4 network (changes on the order of a minute time frame), with minimal impact to route handling. The result is an extension of the area of coverage as the number of nodes increase. Page 9

TG10 SB Status & Expectations Jul 12, 2010 07/12/10 TG10 SB Status & Expectations The 2nd Sponsor Ballot recirculation is set to start by Sat., Sept. 20th, and close by Fri., Sept. 30th. Based on the convergence of the # of comments from the initial Sponsor Ballot to the 1st Sponsor Ballot Recirculation very few comments (if any) are expected on the 2nd Sponsor Ballot Recirculation. With that TG10 expects to be able to resolve any comments and start a 3rd recirculation of the Sponsor Ballot by the Oct. 14th (if needed). Furthermore, if for whatever reason a 3rd Sponsor Ballot Recirculation is needed, TG10 anticipates that no further comments would be made on the draft during the recirculation. Page 23
