Project Scope
This amendment provides Wireless Network Management enhancements to the MAC, and PHY, to extend prior work in radio measurement to effect a complete and coherent upper layer interface for managing devices in wireless networks.

Project Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide amendments to the IEEE PHY/MAC layers that enables management of attached stations in a centralized or in a distributed fashion (e.g. monitoring, configuring, and updating) through a layer 2 mechanism. While the k Task Group is defining messages to retrieve information from the station, the ability to configure the station is not in its scope. The proposed Task Group will also create an Access Port Management Information Base (AP MIB).

Technical Issue -1
Essence of the issue in the 7 (4055) comments is a difference of opinion on interpretation of the PAR scope
Comment # :” ….Multiple BSSID Support is outside that scope, and is not an authorized change to the Standard.”
The Ballot Resolution Committee provided the following response:
Disagree….The TGv PAR includes the indicated feature, as the scope indicates "Wireless Network Management, "to extend prior work" "to effect a COMPLETE upper layer interface". The PAR does not indicate that it is limited to extending prior work in radio measurement. The PAR requires the group to both extend prior work and to provide a complete interface.
Multiple BSSID - Enables the AP to manage/reduce the RF resources consumed by beacon frames. Note that the base multiple BSSID capability is added by TGk, and is extended by TGv.

Technical Issue -2
Essence of the issue in the 7 (4055) comments is a difference of opinion on interpretation of the PAR scope
Comment # :” …. SSID List extension is outside that scope, and is not an authorized change to the Standard..”
The Ballot Resolution Committee provided the following response:
Disagree….The TGv PAR includes the indicated feature, as the scope indicates "Wireless Network Management, "to extend prior work" "to effect a COMPLETE upper layer interface". The PAR does not indicate that it is limited to extending prior work in radio measurement. The PAR requires the group to both extend prior work and to provide a complete interface.
SSID LIST - Enables the station to send fewer Probe Request frames, reducing the RF resources used, enabling improved radio management.

18. Comment Expansion July 2010 Each of 7 Draft 7.0 comments, for example

Comment Expansion
Each of 7 Draft 7.0 comments, for example
# :” The PAR for TGv authorized the Task Group to make certain changes to the Standard, "to extend prior work in radio measurement to effect a complete and coherent upper layer interface for managing devices in wireless networks." Multiple BSSID Support is outside that scope, and is not an authorized change to the Standard.”
Has a proposed resolution of
“Delete this phrase, and all refs to Multiple BSSID Support in the document” and
Becomes multiple Draft 9.0 Comments, each of which restate and expand the comment, and indicate specific text changes (# becomes 106 comments), for example:
Delete the figure at page 300 line 1 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the figure at page 299 line 33 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the paragraph at page 299 line 18 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the figure at page 299 line 1 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the paragraph at page 298 line 56 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the figure at page 298 line 40 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
Delete the paragraph at page 298 line 29 and all other references to Multiple BSSID Support
etc
