Recirculate d3p Corri
Changes with Existing Standards: None needed
Changes with Operations Manual: None needed
Motions:
Cor1 RevCom Motion
Motion: that WG requests conditional approval from the EC to submit d3P Corri (or current revision) to RevCom.
Moved by Pat Kinney, seconded by
Cor1 BRC Motion
Move that WG approve the formation of a Ballot Resolution Committee (BRC) for the WG balloting of the d2P Corri or current version with the following membership: Pat Kinney (Chair), Billy Verso, Ben Rolfe, and Jay Holcomb. The BRC is authorized to approve comment resolutions and to approve the start of recirculation ballots of the revised draft on behalf of the WG.

WNG presentations:
Inclusion of AES-256 into IEEE by Don Sturek ( )
Consensus (25/0/0) was to form a Security Next Generation Study Group to add AES-256 support (minimally) to IEEE
If the existing Auxiliary Security Header cannot easily be modified to support the addition of AES-256, the Study Group will create an alternative means, likely via the addition of Information Elements, to provide the ability to add AES-256 plus add the ability to negotiate the use of other security cipher suites and key lengths.
Enhancement of UWB RFID PHYs to add bi-directional capability by Tim Harrington ( )
Consensus (3/0/7) was to form an IG to resolve concerns displayed during SC WNG
Formation of a Low Power Wide Area Network SG by Jörg Robert ( )
Consensus (13/1/7) was to form a SG LPWA to add an amendment focusing on very low payload bit-rates (e.g. <30kBit/s) in license exempt frequency bands.
This amendment would achieve a significantly increased robustness in case of interference from other users in license exempt frequency bands.
