Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < http:// 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 TAG 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
<Shellhammer@ieee.org> 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 802.19 TAG. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at < patcom@ieee.org

The meeting was opened by Nada Gomlie with discussions regarding the agenda.
The agenda was agreed upon by all present.
It was noted that there was a requirement to discuss the study group rules. Nada informed everyone that this information was available at 802.19 TAG website policy and procedures; Page 29 : ECSG.
The general goals were stated to be that of developing a methodology as would be stated in the PAR and five criteria, which would be embodied in the 5C document. The criteria for approval/acceptance of the document was that 75% of the people present during the discussions would have to approve of the contents in this document.
Kaberi Banerjee volunteered to be the temporary secretary for this meeting.
Steve Shellhammer led the review and the following items were discussed.
Items Discussed
1) PAR Form: Date set to : Feb17th , 2006
2) Type of document: The options available were one of Recommended Practice / Standard / Good practices guide; everyone approved that the document produced by this TAG would be deemed a
Recommended Practice document.
3) Title of Doc
Methods of coexistence of wireless networks operating in shared spectrum. (at least one 802 network) Shawn agreed.
4) Life cycle:
5) Expected date of completion: Some discussion and the expected date was updated.
6) Projected Date of completion: Some discussions about TAG letter ballot; there are liaisons for the .11 and .15 who can input their requirements. So this can be balloted individually;
7) Content: IEEE recommended practice on methods for assessing coexistence of wireless networks.
802.19-05/0053r5
8) Scope of the Project: There was a lot of deliberation on the scope of the project. The general consensus was that the scope should include 802.11, but not be restricted to 802.11.
9) Purpose if Project: Discussed and modified.
10) Reason for Project: Discussed and modified.
11) Intellectual Property: IEEE SA Patent policy read
12) Is there a similar project: 1900.2 was mentioned. Steve and Nada outlined how the 802.19 community would interact with this group so as to complement their task and not have any conflicting goals.
13) Future Adoptions: ISO submission was discussed. There was consensus that this would not be done.
14) Health or Safety: No issues were found
15) Scope of 802: yes
