Areas to be studied include access network discovery and identifier selection. Work underway within the IETF EAP WG is relevant to this work, specifically: 1) EAP Network Discovery and Selection Problem Description Document: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-eap-netsel-problem-00.txt Also relevant is the solution proposed by: 2) Mediating Network Discovery and Selection=94 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-adrangi-eap-network-discovery-and-selection-01.txt IEEE 802.11 requests the opportunity to review the above-mentioned documents, as the information contained within said documents is essential to the future work of the WIEN SG. We have previously agreed to review of areas of mutual interest, as mentioned in document reference 11-04-0166-00-0000-ieft-ieee-802-11-meeting-summary.ppt. It is expected that the output of this review, will take the form of a document, which may subsequently be submitted to the IETF as an individual RFC submission. For IETF reference, ANSI/IEEE Std 802.11=D2-1999 (2003 Reaffirmation) edition as amended by IEEE Std 802.11g-2003 and IEEE Std. 802.11h-2003 is the current version of the IEEE 802.11 Standard. Please contact Stuart J.Kerry, IEEE 802.11 Working Group Chair together with Stephen McCann, IEEE 802.11 WIEN SG chair and Dorothy Stanley, IEEE 802.11/IETF Liaison with any questions, and to discuss further IETF follow-up.
