4. Email Reflector Original reflector: stds-wpp@ieee.org
February 2004
Reflector
Original reflector:
Set up under aegis of EMC Society (S. Berger)
reflector:
Requires membership to send to it
Can be monitored through web site
rules require all SG communication to be through reflector
This presents a problem for many of original WPP participants
I encourage people to join !

5. PAR/5 Criteria Procedures and Timing within 802.11
February 2004
PAR/5 Criteria Procedures and Timing within
PAR/5 Criteria docs are approved at 802 level at EXCOM meetings
Held at every 802 plenary (March, July, Nov)
PAR/5 Critera docs must be submitted at least 1 month before EXCOM meeting
Need to have a PAR/5 Criteria ready by June 16, 2004
Practically speaking, we should have it voted on in the May meeting
This gives us all of two meetings and many telecons to complete the task
