omniran ecsg 5 Meeting Etiquette IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter.

omniran ecsg 6 LMSC Operations Manual 4.3 Study groups Study group operation Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted Voting at study group meetings Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

OmniRAN SDN use case proposal had to be submitted by way of ONF member companies (NSN (ECSG chair), NEC) as no formal way seems to exist to contribute to ONF discussions out of IEEE SA activities –Clarification necessary whether possibility exists, that OmniRAN can directly communicate into ONF discussion groups

omniran ecsg 13 Business #4 Content of ‘Stage 2’ document –Legacy guidance Overview by ETSI: /protocolStandards/stagedApproach.htm /protocolStandards/stagedApproach.htm Introduction of staged approach for service network specification by ITU-T: –Specification, which was mainly referenced for Geneva presentations and discussions Detailed description of Stage 2 by ITU-T: I/enhttp:// I/en –Q.65 contains detailed description of pieces comprising a Stage 2 specification –The structure of a Stage 2 ToC can directly be derived from this specification –WiMAX NWG Stage 2 Example of Stage 2 specification build on generic requirements captured in tenets: 010/12/WMF-T R016v01_Network-Stage2-Base.pdfhttp://resources.wimaxforum.org/sites/wimaxforum.org/files/technical_document/2 010/12/WMF-T R016v01_Network-Stage2-Base.pdf Paul pointed out that ‘SHALLs’ as stated in the Tenets section of WMF NWG Stage 2 are not appropriate for an IEEE SA Recommended Practice. No single SHALL shall appear in a Recommended Practice Juan Carlos proposed to add typical use case scenarios to Stage 2 to enable better understanding of the usage and relation of the network functionality Max showed that such kind of information is available within the Section Network Reference Model. The abstract presentation of use cases as captured in the WMF NWG Stage 2 specification worked out quite useful for illustrating the architectural approach of the WMF NWG specifications.
