Folks, There was long discussion on the list before the Paris F2F about the newly surfaced Ofcom requirements, which require the master devices to report back to the wsdb the spectrum chosen for operation. Since this aspect is not captured in the current charter, during the F2F we discussed how to capture those requirements and there was no objection to a slight charter update.
The tentative charter update text I showed in slide 7 of http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/83/slides/slides-83-paws-0.pptx had one objection to the text added as a 5th bullet point: "5. Report back to the white space database use information, including the chosen channels for operation and other relevant information", noting that the result may be a chatty behavior in case of frequency hopping (see the minutes). The new proposal would be to replace the text in bullet 5 with "Report to the white space database anticipated spectrum usage at a suitable granularity." This text seem to be fine with Joel, who raised the objection. I hope there is consensus in the wg for this new wording for the charter update text. If there is no objection on the list to this newly proposed text in the next few days, I would ask our AD to take the proposed charter update text in slide 7 of http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/83/slides/slides-83-paws-0.pptx, with the new text for bullet 5, to the iesg. - Gabor
