7. 
   Presentation of current status of PAR & 5C
   
   1. 
      M. Emmelmann presents updated version of PAR&5C (11-10/0583r06) reflecting suggested changes according to the comments received Simon Francous during the last telco.
      
      1. 
         The document includes a comment to assure that the reference to IEEE 802.11 will be verified before submission of the PAR. It is not clear if 802.11-2007 or “the most recent version of 802.11” should be mentioned.
         
      2. 
         The PAR names an ESS which automatically include an (infrastructure) BSS. Hence BSS are not necessary to be explicitly named. The group feels at this point that fast initial authentication in ad-hoc mode / independent BSS are not the main focus of the upcoming work.
         
      3. 
         The new FIA functions are not intended to replace any existing mechanisms. The scope is updated to clarify this.
         
   2. 
      Apart from Simon’s feedback, only one other person has responded via the FIA e-mail reflector to the request to comment on the PAR. This feedback did not address technical issues but was in support of the project and provided an additional use case. Other 802.11 participants, especially those not in favor for the PAR in the last plenary did not supply feedback though were were directly contacted by the
