Going forward AoB Agenda was approved without further comments. Introduction The provided a short introduction into the history and scope of the activity by going through the slides contained in the guiding meeting slides and providing a recap of the 5G SC conclusions. The group agreed that the requirements defined by NGMN may only be used as the baseline to address more customers other than mobile operators. Max shortly presented his thoughts regarding the scope and targets of the Industry Connections activity. He brought up the potentials of IEEE SA support to determine enhanced engagement in IEEE 802 by consumers of IEEE 802 technologies from vertical applications. Review of minutes The chair announced that minutes of the conference call on December 6th are stored on mentor and asked for comments, if any. No remarks were made. Industry Connections Activity Initiation Document (ICAID) Roger presents the revised ICAID document. Paul confirms that the IC activity should cover all areas across 802. The group discusses the name to be used for IC, but can’t reach an agreement. Roger brought up the idea behind the term of and how it coincides with the purpose of IC. But, Lei insists not to use it ‘OmniRAN’ because it may confuse people between the activity of IC and OmniRAN TG. Roger explains the necessity to specify a goal for IC and revisits the claims agreed for IEEE 5G Action A, but Lei and Joe wants it to be as broad as possible, avoiding to limit the possibilities before the actual engagement to the customers. The group discusses the timeline for each type of deliverables, and Max prefers one time process for the IC activity. The group also discusses ways of engagement to customers, such as joint workshop held during IEEE conferences, and ways to apply for financial support if necessary. Discussed and agreed editorial changes on the ICAID document are included in the revision Next steps The text of ICAID will be revised in the meeting based on submitted comments. Next conference call: Tuesday, January 31st, 2017, 09:30-11:00AM ET A follow-on conference call was proposed and agreed as well: Tues, February 7th, 2017, 09:30-11:00AM ET Submission deadline of ICAID for consideration in the March EC closing in February 10th.
