NEWSGROUP NAME:  comp.std.wireless  STATUS:  Moderated.  This is mainly to generate a useful, readable archive.  The plan is to make posting as automatic as possible.  BACKGROUND:   There is a clear need for a shared forum for technical discussions between  members of various standards groups concerned with wireless networks.  Several committees are dealing with the same basic technical issues and need to track each other's evolving positions.  As the issues develop and the questions become more detailed, the danger of needless inconsistencies increases.  PURPOSE:  The primary goal of this newsgroup would be to to promote consistency and mutual awareness between existing committees (e.g., IEEE 802.11 and ETSI RES-10) and any future committees. The newsgroup would expedite their deliberations by providing a convenient forum for technical discussion between their scheduled meetings.  Additionally, the open nature of the newsgroup would help the standardization process by allowing people not normally connected with the standards groups to provide their input.  The newsgroup would have no official standing with any standards group or other organization.  A secondary goal would be to explore applications for wireless network technology.  The emerging standards must, after all, correctly anticipate these applications.  SCHEDULE:    This RFD was issued on 31 March 1993 and will last for 30 days.  If a   consensus is reached by the end of the RFD period, a Call for Votes (CFV)   will be issued within 5 days.  The voting period will continue for a   period of 4 work weeks, and end at 11:59PM (EST) on the 28th day.   Thank you for your participation in this RFD effort.  John McKown & Wesley S.
