This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of a moderated
newsgroup to discuss communication techniques, protocols and standards for
wireless computer networks.  

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.

This is a formal Call For Votes (CFV) for the creation of a moderated
newsgroup to discuss communication techniques, protocols and standards for
wireless computer networks.

PROPOSED NEWSGROUP:

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

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.

	Acceptable Postings:
		Any questions, comments, results, or suggestions which are 
		related to any of the existing committees discussing wireless
		technologies.  This can include, but is not limited to, 
		current research, development or general applications of
		wireless networks.
		  

JUSTIFICATION OF UNIQUENESS:

	The proposed newsgroup, comp.std.wireless, would ease communication
	between people around the world who are specifying or will be affected
	by wireless network standards.  Currently, there is a not a newsgroup
	dedicated to supporting communications between wireless network 
	standards groups


VOTING PERIOD:

	Voting will conclude on Thursday, June 10, 1993 23:59 EST


HOW TO VOTE:

	All votes must be mailed to: '[email protected]'.  The votes will
	be counted as "yes" or "no" votes according to their subject line 
	and/or message body.


	Please use the following format:
	-----------

	I  vote ["Yes"/"No"] for the creation of "comp.std.wireless"

	[Last Name], [First Name] [(E-mail Address)] : [Yes/No]

	-----------

VOTING RULES:

	-Only one vote per user (Two different people cannot vote under the
	 same user name).
	-Any votes which are received after the voting period
