Proposed new text
Suggested that “experts” should look at the primitives in their area(s) and
confirm that
they are content that the new format works for them.
Also, check that the references in the Table are correct
Do not reference other clauses in Visio figures, it is very hard to maintain the references in figures
Comment resolvers on Visio figures will be asked to provide the revised figures
Keep embedded figures using Visio as long as possible (not in Word)
Near the end of sponsor ballot, turn these all into .emf (windows meta file) format files (you can do this from visio using “save as”).
Keep separate files for the .vsd source and the .emf file that is linked to from frame. There is high likelihood we should use .emf
Use the figure number or a short version of the figure title (shown in your final draft) for the name of the Visio and emf file.
One figure, one Visio file. Don’t store multiple figures in one Visio file.
Frame format figures are tables
The MathML editor for equations may be applicable

Abstract
Work Completed
Agenda is here: 11-22/1283r1
Annex G:
Brainstormed some possibilities for useful material to replace Annex G
Considered recommendation that Annex G remain (as-is) with an
explanation that it is historical and not maintained
Considered simply removing Annex G – would it affect any
implementation/the industry?
Expecting a presentation in November to explore the options

Other items being tracked (but not actively worked
unless/until contributions):
• Annex G updates/replacement, phase 2
• “What is a STA?” (per REVmd discussion: 11-19/0106r0)
• Off-channel TDLS architecture
• MLME-RESET, versus MLME-JOIN, MLME-START, MLME-
SCAN and MLME-END
• One aspect is how MAC address is set/controlled – related to
IEEE 1609/TGbd activities
• Nendica’s/TGbe’s discussion on 802.11 in a Deterministic

• Discussed items brought forward from the ad-hocs (see the next
two slides for details).
• Charter:
• To develop a revised IEEE Standards Association policy statement on the
Intelligent Spectrum Allocation and Management (former version: approved on 5
September 2018)
• Progress
• Developed a scope statement for target audience of the position statement.
• Formed a recommendation not to revise the IEEE SA position statement.
• RR-TAG brought forward the recommendation to IEEE 802 LMSC for a discussion
on 6 September 2022. There is no immediate conclusion or recommendation from
the Standards Committee yet.
• Charter:
• To study mmWave spectrum bands 45 GHz and 60 GHz to provide insight on
global availability and current/projected regulatory status for these bands. The
resulting study should be provided to the IEEE 802.11 Ultra High Reliability Study
Group (UHR SG) and other 802 WGs to increase their understanding of available
mmWave spectrum.
• Progress
• Developed an overview slide deck dedicated to IEEE 802.11 Ultra High Reliability
Study Group. Pending for RR-TAG’s approval to release to the Study Group.
• Volunteers assigned to study the spectrum bands of selected countries/regions.
• Charter:
• To simplify identification of potential frequency bands for coexistence assessment
so that 802 wireless standards developers can quickly and accurately identify all the
frequency bands by the family of 802 wireless standards in a regularly maintained
database
• Progress
• Complete comment resolution on the comment collection of the proposed Table of
Frequency Range spreadsheet
• Expect to consider an approval on the updated spreadsheet in the near future.
• Logistics
