IEEE 802 WG Voting Rules
5.1.3 Membership
• All persons participating in the initial meeting of the Working
Group become voting members of the Working Group.
Thereafter, voting membership in a Working Group is
established by participating in the meetings of the Working
Group at two out of the last four Plenary sessions, and
(optionally) a letter of intent to the Chair of the Working Group.
Membership starts at the third Plenary session. One duly
constituted interim Working Group or task group meeting may
be substituted for the Working Group meetings at one of the two
Plenary sessions (See 5.1.3.5 Meetings and Participation).
• Members of the Working Group who have not achieved voting
status are known as observers. Liaison members are those
designated individuals who provide liaison with other working
groups or standards bodies.

IEEE 802 WG Voting Rules
5.1.3.5 Meetings and Participation
• Working Group meetings are open to anyone. Only voting
members have the right to participate in the discussions. The
privilege of observers to participate in discussions may be
granted by the Working Group Chair.
• Interim Working Group or Technical Advisory Group meetings,
as a goal, are to have: 1) Reasonable notification (>4 weeks), 2)
Few last minute shifts in location (<< 1 per year), and 3)
Notification of all Working Group members, observers and
liaison people (Notice to all Working Group members,
observers, and liaison people in addition to any announcement
given at a Plenary).

IEEE 802.15 WG Membership Rules
•
•
•
The rules and procedures governing WG membership including
establishment, retention, loss and rights are contained in the
Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 (See ref [1], 5.1.3). The
following additional requirement are imposed within WG
802.15:
TG and SG meetings do not count towards 802.15 WG voting
rights unless they are held in conjunction with a WG meeting.
In that case they are treated as if the member attended the
parallel meeting within the WG.
To establish voting rights participants must request to become
a voter during a 802.15 WG Opening or Closing plenary
meeting when additions to the voter list are solicited by the
Chair from the "Nearly Voting Member" list.

6. Patents
• IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s),
including patent applications, if there is technical justification in
the opinion of the standards-developing committee and provided
the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder that it will
license applicants under reasonable terms and conditions for
the purpose of implementing the standard. This assurance shall
be provided without coercion and prior to approval of the
standard (or reaffirmation when a patent becomes known after
initial approval of the standard). This assurance shall be a letter
that is in the form of either
– a) A general disclaimer to the effect that the patentee will not
enforce any of its present or future patent(s) whose use would be
required to implement the proposed IEEE standard against any
person or entity using the patent(s) to comply with the standard or
– b) A statement that a license will be made available to all applicants
without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable
terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair
Submission discrimination.

6.3.1 Public notice
The following notice shall appear when the IEEE receives assurance from a known patent holder prior to the time of
publication that a license will be made available to all applicants either without compensation or under reasonable rates,
terms, and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination. Attention is called to the possibility that
implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard,
no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. The IEEE shall not
be responsible for identifying patents for which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries
into the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention. A patent holder has filed a statement of
assurance that it will grant licenses under these rights without compensation or under reasonable rates and
nondiscriminatory, reasonable terms and
conditions to all applicants desiring to obtain such licenses. The IEEE makes no representation as to the reasonableness of
rates and/or terms and conditions of the license agreements offered by patent holders. Further information may be obtained
from the IEEE Standards Department. If the IEEE has not received letters of assurance prior to the time of publication, the
following notice shall appear:
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter covered by patent
rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in
connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents for which a license may be required by an
IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
6.3.2 Submittal
Through the working group, the Sponsor chair shall request that known patent holders submit a statement either that the
patent does not apply to the standard or that licenses will be made available without compensation or under reasonable
rates, terms, and conditions. This assurance shall be obtained without coercion and submitted to the IEEE at the earliest
practical time prior to the approval of an IEEE standard. The IEEE encourages early disclosure to the working group of
patent information that might be relevant to the standard.
While standards may include the known use of patents if there is technical justification, the working group should not attempt
to determine whether or not a patent applies. The working group shall accept the view of the patent holder.
