doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Other guidelines for IEEE WG meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs of different technical approaches that include relative costs of patent licensing terms may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain the primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed do formally object. -------------------------------------------------------------- For more details, see IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and Antitrust and Competition Policy: What You Need to Know at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/antitrust.pdf September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 7

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Participant behavior in IEEE-SA activities is guided by the IEEE Codes of Ethics & Conduct All participants in IEEE-SA activities are expected to adhere to the core principles underlying the: IEEE Code of Ethics IEEE Code of Conduct The core principles of the IEEE Codes of Ethics & Conduct are to: Uphold the highest standards of integrity, responsible behavior, and ethical and professional conduct Treat people fairly and with respect, to not engage in harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and to protect people's privacy. Avoid injuring others, their property, reputation, or employment by false or malicious action The most recent versions of these Codes are available at http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/governance September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 10

Participants in the IEEE-SA “individual doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 process” shall act independently of others, including employers The IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws require that “participants in the IEEE standards development individual process shall act based on their qualifications and experience” This means participants: Shall act & vote based on their personal & independent opinions derived from their expertise, knowledge, and qualifications Shall not act or vote based on any obligation to or any direction from any other person or organization, including an employer or client, regardless of any external commitments, agreements, contracts, or orders Shall not direct the actions or votes of other participants or retaliate against other participants for fulfilling their responsibility to act & vote based on their personal & independently developed opinions By participating in standards activities using the “individual process”, you are deemed to accept these requirements; if you are unable to satisfy these requirements then you shall immediately cease any participation September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 11

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 IEEE-SA standards activities shall allow the fair & equitable consideration of all viewpoints The IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws (clause 5.2.1.3) specifies that “the standards development process shall not be dominated by any single interest category, individual, or organization” This means no participant may exercise “authority, leadership, or influence by reason of superior leverage, strength, or representation to the exclusion of fair and equitable consideration of other viewpoints” or “to hinder the progress of the standards development activity” This rule applies equally to those participating in a standards development project and to that project’s leadership group Any person who reasonably suspects that dominance is occurring in a standards development project is encouraged to bring the issue to the attention of the Standards Committee or the project’s IEEE-SA Program Manager September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 12

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Use Case Document Latest version - 802.15-21-0213r13 uploaded Sept 21 The identified improvements have been completed. Discussion on Rail “On Board Sensor Network” like MOTES () Is this a relay network or a mesh network with multiple peer to peer clients? Juha – some type of self-organizing network is typical. Notate as “out of scope for 16t” Clarification on Wayside app Need Goodput value for Drone Communication (command/control) Any further work needed? September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 15

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 SRD Discussion – October 802.15-21-0097r16 posted by Juha: updated figure with throughput Final review September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 16

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Tuesday Sept 21 discussion on SDD SDD Incorporate Daoud’s comments. Menashe will edit in peer to peer (PtP) text in SDD for review. Menashe will upload new version of SDD with these changes. Update will be uploaded as 306r5 Discussion on PtP mechanism Sarat: Existing standard has 16n high reliability network with dynamic role to establish alternative paths. Could PtP be implemented this way? Sarat – the transition between PtP is not defined. Is this for fallback, or only when no base station is ever expected. Further changes needed: Action (Daoud): Carefully review occurrences of “Channel” and change as needed to “Effective Channel” Upload as 306r6 Cyber Security section in SDD 306r7 September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 17

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Discussion on Security Requirements for 802.16t The group discusses whether the current 16t scope can include security changes under the umbrella of “required by the physical layer changes.” Security-related contributions will be adopted into SDD as it progresses. When draft development starts the Task Group will consult with IEEE 802 leadership to determine if a PAR update is needed for the security changes, or if the current PAR scope is adequate. Does the SDD address any updates of security from SRD section on Cyber Security? Menashe will propose a section September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 19

doc.:IEEE802.15-21-0531r0 Editor and Draft Development An editor is needed to turn create the amendment draft based on technical contributions accepted into the SDD. The editor should have familiarity with 802.16-2017 to understand how the amendment fits into the base standard. Harry Bims expresses willingness to serve as editor in July meeting Draft development will be based on approved SDD. September 2021 Tim Godfrey, EPRI 20
