Newcomer Orientation Survey 2019-03-11 1/2 Surveys returned: 1 How likely is it that you would recommend IEEE 802 Orientation Training to a friend or colleague? (out of 10) 7 Overall, how would you rate the IEEE 802 Orientation Training? Good What did you like about the IEEE 802 Orientation Training program? Thorough coverage of IEEE as a whole What did you dislike about the IEEE 802 Orientation Training program? No introduction to IMAT. More time spent on IEEE-SA level organization rather than on the process from PAR/CSD creation to project publication, the latter perhaps being of higher importance to attendees. How organized was the IEEE 802 Orientation Training program? Somewhat organized 6
Newcomer Orientation Survey 2019-03-11 2/2 How friendly was the speaker? Extremely friendly How helpful was the speaker? Somewhat helpful Did the written material include the information you needed? Most of the information Was the IEEE 802 Orientation Training program length too long too short or about right? Too long What additional questions do you have following the IEEE 802 Orientation Training program ? How to use IMAT, how to become a Sponsor ballot participant. 7
Additional Issue Arising: WG Names The orientation presentation includes a slide on IEEE 802 Organization that lists the WGs and their names I can t unambiguously determine the names of all the WGs The 802 web site is not self-consistent Some WGs are not self-consistent The 802 site is not consistent with WGs I think that, since the WG is specified on the PAR, the WG name on the PAR is definitive the names could vary across PARs of a WG I found an example in which IEEE-SA provides two ways to download a dated, approved 802 PAR and the two versions are not identical: the WG name differs I checked with Jonathan Goldberg, who said The Working Group Name is not approved by the SASB, only the PAR is. The Working Group Name is defined by the Standards Committee, in this case, LMSC (802 EC). 8
