Re: [ipwave] Commenting on the FCC plan

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

For information and update,

With Abdussalam we discussed in private:
- potential implication of an ISOC representative in making a comment
- the URL to file the comment is https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings
- the potential comment is
   "what is the channel on which to use IPv6 (RFC8691 now)?"
   Because the FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking does not contain the
   word IPv6; and because often in the past FCC was not clear about
   allowing IPv6 on the 'control' channel 5895-5905MHz; this is
   potentially the only channel allowed for 802.11-OCB (aka DSRC) in the
   future - the rest of 5.9GHz channels would go to 802.11ax and to
   C-V2X.
- the deadline for filing comments is January 15th (30 days from Dec.
   17th).

I am looking for interest in this.

Alex
