1. Introduction
This document is intended to be used as guidelines for how to start New Work in
It describes the process from ideas presented in the 15WNG (wireless next generation), starting a SG (study group) to prepare the PAR & 5C needed by the WG to launch a new TG standardization project.
The role of the 15WNG is instrumental to guide this process.

6. 2. Process From ideas to a new TG project
January 2006
2. Process From ideas to a new TG project
New ideas are presented in the 15WNG
Further discussions on the intentions and SG criteria by reflector, phone conference and WNG meetings.
Check that the criteria for starting a SG are fulfilled. If not the work item can be discarded or kept for further investigations / discussions.
Create a motion to the WG to start a SG to be approved by a straw poll. All attendees have voting rights.
The WG to approve the SG motion.
The SG charter is to produce the PAR and 5C documents for approval by the WG and ExCom.

7. 3. Role of Standing Committee: 15WNG
January 2006
3. Role of Standing Committee: 15WNG
Charter
To facilitate and stimulate presentations and discussions on new Wireless related Technologies within the defined scope, that may be subject for new TG standardization projects (or does not fit within the current projects).
Scope
WPAN technologies in general, not limited to only MAC/PHY layer (Not WLAN, WRAN or Infrastructure, and no legacy constrains)
Way of working
Presentations:
To notify WNG Chair be and/or 15WNG of intention to contribute,and indicate the time needed for presentation and Q&A
Upload the contribution before presentation
The presentation can be about a new technology or a Use Case etc.
Discussions on reflector, phone conferences and at the 15WNG sessions.
To use straw poll for eventual decisions on further actions
15WNG may decide by straw poll to recommend the WG to start a SG to produce PAR & 5C for a New Work item

9. 4. Criteria for starting a Study Group
January 2006
4. Criteria for starting a Study Group
Show that there is enough interest for a new SG
Recommendation: some10 persons from at least 4 companies
Candidates for Chair and secretary
Global definition of the intended project
Name
Features and Functions (what the should be supported)
Scope (what market, usage and technology)
Check that there are no blocking issues from the SG charter
Show Reasons for a Broad Market Potential (MRD)
Identify Unique / Discriminating features (FRD)
Technical feasibility within the timeframe of the project
Indicate other requirements like Security, Regulatory, co-existence, No blocking patents, etc. that may apply
Not same standards work is done by an other organization

Open Issues
Also include in the WNG SG criteria “The need for sufficient industry support” ?
In what form (.doc or .ppt) and level of details for the GL ?
Is this level Ok?
Need for an Editor ?
