  1. 802.11 2nd Vice Chair’s Report - Mar 2010 Authors: Date: 2010-03-15 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  2. Abstract • Network • Membership • Attendance • Documentation • Reflectors Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  3. IEEE NETWORK AT THIS SESSION Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  4. IP and Virus Protect • Enable DHCP • do not configure your wireless card with a static IP address • Do not enter the wireless network without having the most current • Virus Protection installed, • Firewall installed • Microsoft security updates and turned on ! Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  5. Network - II • Enable DHCP in the Netcard’s TCP/IP properties • i.e. “Obtain IP Address Automatically” • For SSID “VeriLAN” • No WEP is being used. Be sure your WEP is disabled. • For SSID “VeriLAN.1x” • Use WPA or WPA2 with 802.1x • TTLS or PEAP, MS-CHAP-V2 • Validate server certificates, do not send domain login info, do not use computer name to authenticate. • username is your badge number, password is the one you used to register for this session (registration desk can reset, if necessary) • Help desk available: During regular IEEE 802 registration hours • 8AM until 5PM Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  6. Membership Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  7. Member Status Graphic Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  8. Requesting Voting Membership • Members who are “Nearly Voter” must request to become a “Potential Voter” at least 14 days before a plenary session. • Membership will be granted at the start of the next plenary session – i.e. they will start with a voting token. • Have to record attendance for at least one 802.11 slot to demonstrate presence at the meeting. • I will send out a reminder to “Nearly Voters” to request voting membership in time to meet this deadline • Request membership using the online form: • http://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.html Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  9. Current Membership Status Data as of 2010-01-13 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  10. No changes possible because Jan 2010 was an interim, and we had no mandatory WG ballots Voting member changes Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  11. Current Membership Status Data as of 2010-01-25 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  12. Where have the “nearly voters” gone? • The membership rules have been simplified. • The “nearly voter” membership category has been removed. • The need for a request to the WG chair to transition to a potential voter has been removed – i.e., transition from aspirant -> potential voter -> voter is based solely on attendance records. • Emails were sent to all nearly voters after the Jan meeting informing them of this change and notifying them that they were now potential voters Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  13. Website membership list • Go to http://www.ieee802.org/11/Voters/votingmembers.htmor by “Membership List” link on http://www.ieee802.org/11 • Shows status and session number at which status changes, i.e. voter->non-voter, nearly-voter->aspirant Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  14. Ballots Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  15. Which Working Group Ballots Can I Vote On? • There are two types of Working Group letter ballot: Mandatory and Recirculation • All voting members vote on Mandatory Ballots • Check the voters’ list for that ballot (link in the instructions) and contact the Balloting Coordinator if in any kind of doubt • With each ballot we see some non-voting members attempt to vote • Only those members who were voting members at the time of the first successful ballot (i.e., > 75%) of a recirculation series can vote in recirculation ballots of that series • The voting pool is fixed for the lifetime of the series • The list of voters in the pool is published with each ballot (link in the instructions) • Those in the pool only need to vote to change their vote, or to supply additional comments, otherwise the previous vote is carried forward • With each ballot we see some who are not in the pool attempt to vote • Summary: Check the voters’ list linked to in the instructions for each working group letter ballot to see if you can vote Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  16. Losing Voting Membership due to Ballots • In 802.11, any member that responds to 4 out of 6 consecutive mandatory ballots is “deemed active” by the 802.11 chair, and will not lose their voting membership Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  17. Provide comments in format required • The 802.11 letter ballot instructions document clearly states that comments must be provided using the comment template file (spreadsheet). • This allows the composite spreadsheet to be compiled without manual cut and paste. • In each ballot, some members supply comments using the “single comment” feature of the tool • Unfortunately we cannot disable this feature • Notice - In future ballots these “single” comments may be marked invalid • Occasionally, comments are supplied using the wrong template – i.e. an IEEE-SA sponsor ballot comment template. • Always download the comment template from the instruction page. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  18. Use your 802.11 ID for voting Secret • The number used for 802.11 electronic ballots is yoursecret 802.11 voting ID – it is your badge number • This number is assigned locally by 802.11 • It will never change, and will never be published • I have sent you an email with this number in it • If you lose this number, ask me and I’ll send it again • In each ballots several voters use the wrong ID NOT Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  19. Attendance Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  20. Session graphic Jan 2010 Register once • 18 Normal slots, 2 Extra slots • 75% attendance requires 14 slots attended • Closing plenary requires only 1 registration for 2 slot credit Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation Source: 11-10/0185r0

  21. Recording Attendance • It is a requirement that attendees register, in order that a correct record of attendees and their disclosed affiliations can be recorded in the minutes. • You must record 75% attendance of eligible 802.11 slots in a session for that session to count towards gaining or maintaining 802.11 voting membership • You need a single IEEE-SA web account • The IEEE SA web account requires a working email address • do not remove your email address from the account • Use the email address associated with that web account when registering attendance • If you change email addresses, update the web account, don’t create a new web account, or your membership status may not be calculated properly Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  22. Attendance Procedures Prior to or during the session: • (one time) Get a free Web Account if you don’t already have one. Keep your contact data in this area up to date. • (one time) Register your Interest Areas in myProject if you haven’t done so already (it’s up to you to keep this updated as needed) During the session: • (once per session) Register on Murphy • (once per slot) Record attendance at a specific meeting. You will be asked for your affiliation the first time you attend a new task group. • See backup slides for detailed procedure Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  23. Changing Affiliation • The IMAT attendance system keeps a record of stated affiliation per group (task group / working group). • The 802.11 membership records are updated using this information after every session. • If you change affiliation, you need to go to “MyProject” under “Manage Activities” and check/update all 802.11 groups that you have attended in the past or declared an interest in so that they have the correct affiliation. • Notifying the 802.11 officers of a change is not sufficient, as any local changes to the 802.11 membership records will get overwritten with data from MyProject after every session. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  24. Documentation Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  25. Local File Document Server information Local FTP server: ftp://newton.events.ieee.org (anonymous) External Document Server https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  26. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  27. Documentation Generally • Document Numbers are obtained from the mentor web site https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents • Uploading Documents • Can only be uploaded to the mentor web site https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents • Downloading Documents • All documents are updated on the local server from mentor • When retrieving document please follow the instructions in the previous pages and obtain all documentation from the local server. This will keep traffic at a lower level on the external links. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  28. Email Reflectors Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  29. Reflector Requests • There is an email reflector for the working group, plus one for each task group. • Access to the reflector is limited to those who are members with status: aspirant, nearly-voter, potential-voter, voter. • To change your access, visit the reflector request page:http://www.ieee802.org/11/Reflector.html • Gathers information and sends an email to Vice Chair • If you change email address – please let me know. I will perform a global change to the list servers. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  30. Reflector Caveats • The LISTSERV system removes an entry from a email reflector list if it gets repeated bounces. • The WG officers (Jon Rosdahl) monitor these events and try and fix what we can. • If you receive no email from STDS-802-11 for a couple of weeks, suspect that something is wrong and contact me. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
