3. Agenda item 2.3.0 TGT Draft Retention
January 2009
Agenda item TGT Draft Retention
802 P&P clearly state that we can keep the MOST RECENT version of the TGT :
Clause of 802 P&P (
Occasionally a PAR is withdrawn. When a PAR is to be withdrawn, the responsible WG chair in consultation with the WG shall consider whether the most current draft has content that should be archived. If so, the WG chair shall ensure the most current draft of the proposed standard is placed on the IEEE Document Distribution Service list. The WG chair shall add a cover page to the draft alerting the reader that the PAR has been withdrawn for this work, giving the specific date of the withdrawal and the rationale for the withdrawal.
The withdrawn draft shall be maintained on the IEEE Document Distribution Service list for a period of 3 years after the time of withdrawal, after which it shall be removed from the list.
During July, >75% of the membership expressed a desire to preserve the TGT information:
Chair’s Action:
1. Retain TGT 1.01 in the member’s area.
2. Prepare appropriate cover letter, in accordance to Cls , for Draft 1.01 of TGT and forward to the IEEE Document Distribution Service .

5. Agenda item 2.3.0 ATIS Home Network Invitation
January 2009
Agenda item ATIS Home Network Invitation
Bruce Kraemer, IEEE Chair
Dear Bruce,
Over the past year, AT&T along with other industry leaders, has been conducting an assessment of standards development with respect to Home Network as a participant in ATIS’ Home Networking Focus Group (HNET-FG).  The HNET-FG was commissioned to assess issues impacting the development of a cohesive home networking infrastructure to support VoIP, IPTV and other IP-based services and has completed its effort at the beginning of this year. A copy of the Executive Summary is attached for your consideration and some of the highlights of the Assessment & Work Plan include:
A home networking technological assessment from both logical and functional perspectives.  This includes a high-level framework and the identification of IP home networking’s essential “building blocks.”
An in-depth industry analysis to better understand the current status of home networking standards’ development; the study revealed 34 different, uncoordinated groups with study programs related to the home network.
A standards gap analysis in technical areas, such as: management, QoS, security, connection and discovery, remote access, and energy consumption. The HNET-FG study revealed 33 technical standards gaps. 
In order to address the issues set forth in this assessment, ATIS will be creating a Home Networking Forum, thereby creating a single, centralized body responsible for comprehensively addressing home networking standards. ATIS’ HNET Forum is unique in that it’s the only body to holistically assess the wide variety of on-going home networking standards development work. 
Given IEEE ’s extensive work in Home Networking standards, I would like to extend an invite to you and any other members of IEEE to the initial meeting of the HNET Forum.  The initial meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, February 3, 2008 from 1 to 5 pm EDT.  This meeting will include a review of the Home Networking (HNET) Assessment & Work Plan and identification of next steps to address those issues outlined in the Work Plan.  The first meeting will be open to all interested participants from information, entertainment and communications industry, including: carriers, service providers, content suppliers, equipment manufacturers and others interested in home networking technical standardization.  Future meetings will be limited exclusively to Forum member companies.  For more information on the Home Networking Forum, and to register for the February 3rd meeting, please contact Jackie Voss at
I hope that you’ll be able to attend and please let me know if you have any questions!
Best regard, Harry Worstell, Principal Member of the Technical Staff, 180 Park Ave, Building 103 Room b233, Florham Park, NJ 07932
