Why are rules important?
Facilitate orderly conduct of business Define the standards creation process If not followed can lead to
Delays Litigation
Where are the rules?
The “Rules” of IEEE 802 LMSC are called Policies and Procedures (P&P)
The LMSC P&P can be found at http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/devdocs.html
Other key documents Referenced on web site for LMSC P&P

2) The Plenary Briefly defines format for LMSC Plenary
sessions and meeting NOTE:
A session is the entire period of time between the Opening EC plenary meeting and the Closing EC plenary meeting
A session may have substantial breaks during which no meetings occur
EC meetings while outside these bounds are generally considered part of the session
If a WG adjourns they END their session A meeting is a single substantially contiguous period of
time without any large breaks Yes health breaks are allowed! If you recess your meeting ends but session continues
3) The Executive Committee Function
Charter groups, initial chairs, proc / tech advice on charter Membership
Who is a member and how they become a member Reaffirmation
Every even numbered year in March Voting Rules
At meetings and between meetings Meetings
Observers are allowed Ask chair to speak
P&P Revisions Long and drawn out
Appeal and Complaint Process You do have recourse!
4) LAN/MAN Standards Committee
Very loosely defines the LMSC Very brief Requires updating
5) LMSC Standards Development Groups
Defines WG Rules Role of Chair / Election / Authority / etc. Membership & Voting
Defines TAG Rules Similar to WG
Defines SG Rules ECSG
Created directly by EC WGSG
Created by WG Both generally create PARs
EC Decides placement of PARs
6) LMSC Sessions
Plenary Sessions Interim Sessions
Session hosts / fees Financial reporting

Stringent process Many conditions
The P&PToday and Tomorrow

SA now has model P&P http://standards.ieee.org/guides/
sponsmod.html Format of 802 P&P established long
ago Initiating process to revamp P&P
Backlog of P&P Revisions
Many revisions desired for P&P Typically run 2-3 revisions per plenary
cycle Can’t keep up with the work load
Looking at ways to improve throughput
