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-14.txt> as Proposed Standard

A prior Last Call was made for version -12 of this document. Comments
received during that discussion lead to extensive edits to the document,
which could benefit from a second review.

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 at ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-08-20. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg at ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the

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 managing 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".
