doc.: IEEE /0001r00 Agenda Required Notice ANTI-TRUST STATEMENT Each Member acknowledges that the Members are committed to fostering competition in the development of new products and services. The Members further acknowledge that they may compete with one another in various lines of business and that it is therefore imperative that they and their representatives act in a manner which does not violate any applicable antitrust laws and regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Members acknowledge that the Members will not discuss issues relating to product pricing, methods or channels of product distribution, any division of markets, or allocation of customers or any other topic which should not be discussed among competitors. Accordingly, each Member hereby assumes responsibility to provide appropriate legal counsel to its representatives acting under the IEEE regarding the importance of limiting their discussions to subjects that relate to the purposes of the Member Agreement, whether or not such discussions take place during formal meetings, informal gatherings, or otherwise.

doc.: IEEE /0001r00 Agenda NPRM Bands Above 24GHz Discussion on draft comments from IEEE Points from IEEE TG 3d, 18-15/0066r /0066r00 –IEEE 802 supports the allocation of further unlicensed bands above 28 GHz. This will greatly support IEEE 802‘s current efforts in standardising wireless systems operating in these frequency bands. –IEEE 802 supports this proposal to authorize operations in the GHz band as this would help to bring US regulations more in line with Japan, Europe and South Korea. IEEE 802 Task Group 15.3e is developing a standard that will support close-proximity services in the bands from 59.4 GHz to GHz. –Although we notice, that the current considerations in the NPRM are limited to frequency bands below 100 GHz, IEEE 802 would like to inform FCC, that within Task Group IEEE d a standard operating at the bands 252 to 325 GHz is being developed.
