David, No, IEEE membership is not required to participate in the working group. Anyone may participate in the development of draft standards. However, IEEE Standards Association membership is required to be a member of the Sponsor Ballot Pool (or payment of a fee that is roughly equivalent to the IEEE-SA membership fee), which entitles you to vote on the output of the working group(s) and say whether the draft standards should be adopted as full IEEE standards. You can find out more about the IEEE-SA at http://standards.ieee.org.

Ravi, Anyone is able to participate in the work of the 802.11 Working Group by submitting papers. However, to become a member, i.e., one who is able to vote on the technical work of 802.11 and influence the outcome of the standards development process, one must physically attend the meetings or get (rarely dispensed) membership directly from the chairman. You can find out about future meetings and everything else but the actual draft standards at the 802.11 web site at www.ieee802.org/11. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: Ravi Prakash B.V.

Dear friends, I joined in this list recently. I don't know whether I can post this request in this list or not. I am interested in 802.11b, 802.11i and 802.11g standard working groups. I like to actively participate in the 802.11 working group. Kindly suggest the way, how to become the member of the IEEE 802.11 working group?
