omniran-18-0037-01-00TG Agenda Minutes Reports P802.1CF-D1.0 comment resolution Review of open comments Open issues of implementation of remedies Review and completion of documentation of proposed disposition Review of revisions of clauses 7.1, 7.7, 7.8, and 8.1 Review of smaller textual amendments Clarification of implementation of CID 9 Process of swapping figures to .svg Next meeting AoB 10
omniran-18-0037-01-00TG Business #2 Minutes https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0032-00-00TG-mar- 20th-confcall-minutes.docx Acceptance postponed to the next F2F Reports Max informed about conference call for transfer of P802.1CQ into OmniRAN TG on March 28th .1CQ discussions will continue at the Pittsburgh interim meeting. Antonio asked for scheduling the discussions on May 21stin the morning to allow him to remotely participate Walter informed that he was let go from IEEE on March 29th after 25years of service. He is willing to continue as editor of P802.1CF and bring the specification to completion, but he may not be able anymore to attend F2F meetings. Walter can now be reached at walter@pienciak.org Max thanked Walter very much for the willingness to continue as editor of P802.1CF and offered to organize the remaining work to enable remote participation for all the final work. The chair emphasized that he would continue according to the established plan, i.e. run another WG ballot starting on April 19thwith a closing date right before the May F2F in Pittsburgh. 11
omniran-18-0037-01-00TG Business #3 Review of open comments and action plan https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0006-07-CF00-d1-0-collected- comments.xls Open comments were reviewed. In addition to the comments related to the information model, there is still CID 70 of Paul Congdon listed, requiring to provide content for clause 4. Conformance. To check how other IEEE 802 recommended practices handled conformance statements, the chair asked for references. Hao pointed to IEEE 802.15.9 and IEEE 802.15.10, which both do not have such clause. The group agreed to follow the examples of IEEE 802.15 and completely remove clause 4 from the specification. The chair will set the status of CID 70 to revised explaining the proposed solution. In addition to removing clause 4, all occurrences of shall statements will be rephrased to avoid comments regarding the use of shall in recommended practices. Open issues of implementation of remedies Nothing brought up. Walter has to re-establish his FrameMaker environment to be able to continue the implementation of remedies. Documentation of proposed disposition The Java database in a shared DropBox folder works fine with both, the chair and the editor being able to access and amend. Review of revisions of clauses 7.1, 7.7, 7.8, and 8.1 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/17/omniran-17-0079-05-CF00-chap-8-1- information-model.docx Agreed to include proposal into next revision. Remaining comments addressed according to new chapter 8.1 Result code of link establishment may require amendment to attributes of that section. 12
omniran-18-0037-01-00TG Business #4 Review of smaller textual amendments CID 9: s/flow/stream only in very few locations Change was introduced in editorial session in Rosemont F2F Remaining textual adjustments to align functional description to revised information model will be prepared by Max and Hao. Max will identify necessary modifications in clause 7.1 and clause 7.3, while Hao will address clause 7.7 and 7.8 Plan for swapping to searchable figures (.svg) Once Walter has re-established his FrameMaker work environment, the .png figures should be swapped to searchable .svg figures. Max and Hao to prepare .svg files of their figures. Hao will provide the .svg figures of clause 8.1 Information model Next meeting Conference call on April 13th, 09:30 11:00 AM ET for review of the draft D2.0 Max will invite Walter for a call to clarify all remaining editorial amendments to the specification when Walter has re-established his working environment. AoB Hao offered to step in as editor in the case that Walter could not continue. The chair thanked Hao but expressed that the highly preferred solution would be to complete 802.1CF together with Walter to avoid bigger delays. Adjourned by chair at 10:50 AM ET 13
