802.11 Assigned Numbers Authority (ANA)
• The 802.11 ANA is Adrian Stephens
• The purpose of the ANA is to ensure we have no conflicts for numbers between parallel 802.11 developments. Such a conflict has the potential to create interoperability problems.
• The ANA Process: – Request by TG Editor (or TG chair) to ANA
– ANA checks for conflicts with TG Editors
– ANA issues revised spreadsheet showing any changes

WG Balloting - ePoll• Each WG letter ballot sequence (i.e., task group) has its own
voting pool set to the voting members of 802.11 at the time the ballot first reaches 75% approval.– I get asked all the time “should I vote on this ballot”
– The answer is “go check the voters list published with each and every ballot”. There’s a link on the 802.11 home page during the ballot.
• The mechanism we will use to collect votes/comments is the ePoll mechanism provided by the IEEE-SA.– Currently switch to ePoll is under review
• Use either individual comments or the template .csv spreadsheet provided.
• Can also supply comments using .xls format
• You will need to sign in using your IEEE-SA web account

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
• Record attendance using this URL:– http://newton.events.ieee.org– Click the “802.11” attendance link on the left hand side
