Body 
For your information, on the assumption that draft-wkumari-rfc8110-to-ieee will
be approved, the IEEE 802.11 working group has proactively incorporated
Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE), as specified in RFC 8110, into the
IEEE 802.11 standard. OWE is included in IEEE 802.11 REVme D5.0, as part of the
IEEE 802.11 revision project that incorporates accumulated maintenance changes
(editorial and technical corrections) into the standard and approved amendments
building on IEEE Std 802.11-2020.

The latest draft of IEEE 802.11 REVme can be obtained here:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10476382. The IEEE 802.11 revision project
is targeted to be completed by the end of this year, resulting in an updated
IEEE 802.11 standard.

The IEEE 802.11 working group will continue to maintain OWE as part of future
maintenance activities.

Feel free to contact myself, Robert Stacey, as chair of the IEEE 802.11 Working
Group and Peter Yee as IEEE 802.11 to IETF Liaison Officer for further
information.
