The IESG has received a request from the Protocol to Access WS database WG (paws) to consider the following document: - 'Protocol to Access White-Space (PAWS) Databases' <draft-ietf-paws-protocol-12.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-07-07. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Portions of the radio spectrum that are allocated to licensees are available for non-interfering use. This available spectrum is called "White Space." Allowing secondary users access to available spectrum "unlocks" existing spectrum to maximize its utilization and to provide opportunities for innovation, resulting in greater overall spectrum utilization. One approach to manage spectrum sharing uses databases to report spectrum availability to devices. To achieve interoperability among multiple devices and databases, a standardized protocol must be defined and implemented. This document defines such a protocol, the "Protocol to Access White Space (PAWS) Databases". The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-paws-protocol/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-paws-protocol/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2203/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2340/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2239/
