Here is the official notification!
Editor’s note: We’ll be celebrating next week with another Tweepstakes giving away a laptop of the FUTURE! Stay tuned!

Subject: [STDS-802-11-TGN] Standards Board Decisions today- 11w and 11n approved
— This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group N Technical Reflector —
All,
802.11 had two items under consideration during the Standards Board meetings being held this week.
I’m am very pleased to announce that both P802.11w and P802.11n were approved today.
Although this email vehicle falls far short of expressing the sentiment, Thanks to the hundreds of 802.11members that contributed to these efforts, as well as the 802 EC and the IEEE Staff.
With me here as I write this is Paul Nikolich who wishes to add his congratulations to the group.
I expect to extend the celebration of the success , (while we continue work on the other amendments in process ) when we convene in Hawaii two weeks from now.
Hope to see you there.
Bruce
