W5.2 (cont.) - 5G, IMT-2020 and 802
Substantial discussion on Friday and Saturday. Friday’s session included briefing material on what it means to be an IMT technology, and the processes to be followed to get there.
The EC determined to create a SC as follows:
The scope of the IEEE 802 5G/IMT­2020 standing committee (Type 2) To provide a report on the following items to the EC:
Costs and benefits of creating an IEEE 5G specification
Costs and benefits of providing a proposal for IMT­2020, considering possible models of a proposal:
as a single technology,
as a set of technologies,
or as one or more technologies within a proposal from external bodies (e.g., 3GPP)
During its lifetime, to act as the communication point with other IEEE organizations on this topic. Organization: The committee is chartered for 6 months as an  EC SC (i.e.,  due at the July 2016 plenary  session).  Any 802 WG voting  member can vote in the EC SC.
(The SC will be meeting Mon and Tue evening. Glenn Parsons, Chair 802.1, will be its chair.)

W5.2 (cont.) - Regulatory
The EC debated how best to progress an improvement in the organization of regulatory.
They determined to keep the TAG, but with an updated mission statement, and its formal meetings kept to 2 well-known slots a session, to enable other WG members to build up voting status in

14. W5.2 (cont.) - Discussion on domination, block voting and SIGs

March 2016
W5.2 (cont.) - Discussion on domination, block voting and SIGs
Many of our projects have one or more special interest groups (SIGs) operating in the background.
Under what conditions does such a group display dominant behaviour? What are the conditions under which block voting should be recognised? What tools are available for correction?
The WG chair is responsible for recognizing block voting and will bring any such recognition to the EC for remedy, which might include counting all those associated with such a block as a single vote in the WG.
Based on the discussion in the workshop, there is no need for immediate action in the WG. The WG chair will bring advice on this topic to the WG in a later meeting (probably May).
