Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group.

IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws on Patents in Standards
Approved by IEEE-SA Standards Board – May 2004
6. Patents
IEEE standards may include the known use of essential patents and patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard. This assurance shall be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter that is in the form of either:
a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or
b) A statement that a license will be made available without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination
This assurance shall apply, at a minimum, from the date of the standard's approval to the date of the standard's withdrawal and is irrevocable during that period.

14. TGn January Meeting Minutes 05-1596r2
March 2005
TGn January Meeting Minutes r2
Executive Summary (also see Chairs’ closing report doc r0):
Qualcomm declared support for TGn Sync Alliance and withdrawal of their complete proposal citing both proposals had similar features (support BF).
Mitsubishi withdrew their support from the MitMot Alliance and declared their support for the TGn Sync Alliance.
Motorola declared that they would be the sole sponsor of the MitMot proposal and declared the name now stood for Mac and mImo Techniques for MOre Throughput.
Updates to the three remaining proposals – TGn Sync, TGn WWiSE and TGn MITMOT – were made; comparison presentations were made by proposers and non-proposers; significant written and oral Q&A time was provided.
A down selection vote was conducted with the following result:
Sync – 132 (55.32%)
WWiSE – 84 (35.15%)
MITMOT – 23 (9.62%)
The MITMOT proposal was thereby eliminated from further consideration at this time. Note that it could be reconsidered if a 75% confirmation vote is not achieved.
Sheung Li from Atheros was elected as Vice-Chair.
Nominations were opened for the technical editor. Election will take place at the March Plenary meeting.
Informal meeting was held with .19 (coexistence); .11n will have to attach a Coexistence Assurance document with the initial LB draft supplement; the rules surrounding the .19 CA process were reviewed.
Next meeting – March in Atlanta; goals are to have a down selection vote and, if possible a confirmation vote and elect a technical editor.

The proposal shall be required to achieve a 75% majority in order to be submitted to the IEEE n Editor as the initial technical specification. If the remaining proposal fails to achieve a 75% majority, the members who voted "no" shall be requested to provide to the chair their reason(s) for voting no and what would be required to change their vote to affirmative. The proposer shall have an opportunity to respond to the concerns of the no voters, after which a roll call vote will be taken to approve the proposal.

TGn will need to prepare a Coexistence Compliance Document for submission with the draft.
Coexistence with 802 wireless standards in unlicensed bands. The WG proposing a wireless project is required to produce a Coexistence Assurance (CA) document unless it is not applicable.

802 Policies & Procedures Nov 19, 2004 version
Section 6 5 Criteria ( Section 6.4.d )
22. Procedure for Coexistence Assurance (Formally Procedure 11)
If indicated in the five criteria, the wireless working group shall produce a coexistence assurance (CA) document in the process of preparing for working group letter ballot and sponsor ballot. The CA document shall accompany the draft on all wireless working group letter ballots.
The CA document shall address coexistence with all relevant approved 802 wireless standards specifying devices for unlicensed operation. The working group should consider other specifications in their identified target band(s) in the CA document.
The TAG shall have one vote in working group letter ballots that include CA documents. As part of their ballot comments, the TAG will verify the CA methodology was applied appropriately and reported correctly.
The ballot group makes the determination on whether the coexistence necessary for the standard or amendment has been met if the ballot passes.
A representative of the TAG should vote in all wireless sponsor ballots that are in the scope of the coexistence TAG.
