802.11 TIG operation
A “topic interest group” (TIG) is a standing committee of the 802.11 working
group that is formed to progress a specific topic.
A TIG might be used prior to a formal study group to raise awareness and
understanding of a potential study group.
A TIG follows all the rules for a WG11 standing committee.
A TIG is formed by WG motion and dissolved as determined by the WG
chair.
A TIG group is formed after discussion during a WG plenary during which
the goals of the TIG are identified, and a motion to form the TIG achieves
a simple majority.
Typically a TIG will exist for no more than 6 months.
