privecsg ecsg 4 Patent Related Links All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development. Patent Policy is stated in these sources: –IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws –IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual Material about the patent policy is available at – If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit This slide set is available at

privecsg ecsg 5 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

privecsg ecsg 6 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 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

privecsg ecsg 12 IEEE 802 Internet Privacy Tutorial - Summary The Tutorial provided an update on the recent concerns about Internet privacy, the actions that IETF is taking, and the guidelines that are being followed when developing new specifications (e.g. RFC 6973) Highlighted Privacy concerns applicable specifically to Link Layer technologies, and provided suggestions on how IEEE 802 can help addressing them The idea of developing an IEEE 802 recommended practices document, similar to the one produced by IETF (RFC 6973) was suggested and supported by several IEEE 802 members from different WGs

privecsg ecsg 13 IEEE 802 EC Privacy SG Creation of an Executive Committee Study Group on Privacy Recommendations ( ) –Juan Carlos Zuniga appointed as Chair of SG – awaiting EC confirmation Chartered to run until November 2014 with an expectation of renewal through March 2015 –Next IEEE 802 Plenary meeting in November 2014 – San Antonio, TX Planning to advance work with teleconferences and discussions

privecsg ecsg 14 IEEE 802 EC Privacy SG - Scope The IEEE 802 Executive Committee (EC) Privacy Recommendation SG will study privacy issues related to IEEE 802 technologies and consider the need for a recommended practice applicable to IEEE 802 protocols. If such a need is identified, the SG will determine whether the IEEE 802 criteria for standards development (CSD) support the initiation of a project and, if so, it will prepare a PAR for consideration by the IEEE 802 Executive Committee.

privecsg ecsg EC Privacy SG Call for Contributions Current topics being considered by SG include: (1) Privacy Issues at Link Layer (2) Threat Model for Privacy at Link Layer (3) Proposals regarding functionalities in IEEE 802 protocols to improve Privacy (4) Proposals regarding measuring levels of Privacy on Internet protocols (5) Other…

privecsg ecsg Trial on IETF and IEEE meetings Suggestion to perform an opt-in trial on IETF and IEEE meetings networks to assess performance and implications of user’s MAC address randomization –Similar to “ietf-v6ONLY” SSID –Should assess implications on collisions, DHCP/ND states, router/bridge tables, etc. –Details to be worked out…
