IEEE 802.21 Emergency Services Study Group

• The IEEE 802 LAN / MAN Standards Committee (LMSC)
  / Executive Committee has approved a study group
  in WG 802.21 to develop a Project Approval
  Request and Five Criteria (PAR and 5C) to support
  Emergency Services across all 802 technologies.
• Output of this effort will be either a working
  group (WG) under 802 (e.g. 802.23) or a task
  group (TG) probably under 802.21.
• IEEE 802 (LMSC) development is generally limited
  to below OSI Layer 3
• Development work will generally be complimentary
  to other SDOs (e.g. IETF ECRIT)
• Within those guidelines, what does the PAR/5C
  need to cover?
