1. Introduction (引言)

Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) [RFC8110] is a mode of opportunistic security [RFC7435] for IEEE Std 802.11 that provides encryption of the wireless medium without authentication.

Since publication, [RFC8110] (also known as "[Wi-Fi_Enhanced_Open]") has been widely implemented and deployed.

The IEEE 802.11 Working Group [IEEE_802.11] has requested the ability to maintain and develop OWE (see [IEEE_LS]) to ensure that the protocol remains in sync with the IEEE protocols. This document represents concurrence that future work on OWE [RFC8110] will now occur in the IEEE 802.11 Working Group.
