M3.11 EC and IEEE-SA Standards Board
decisions (continued)
• There are three routes for a liaison from 802.11 to a
regulator. See the LMSC (802) operations manual.
1. Representing the opinion solely of 802.11. The EC is
given a 5-day window in which to object. If no
motion to object is made, communication can go
ahead (802 OM 8.2.2)
2. Representing the opinion of 802. Should be balanced
and take into account all 802 relevant input. The EC
gets to vote on a 2/3 motion to send. (802 OM 8.1.1)
3. Representing the opinion of 802, via 802.18. 802.18
might act as a forum to create a cross-802 message.
Requires 802.18 75% and EC 2/3 approval.
