Arend,

you are correct. Briefly, P2P flow consists of the following phases:

1) scan - just regular scan, to find infrastructure ESS as well
2) find - in this phase, device toggles between states:
2.1) search - similar to scan on social channels, but not exactly. On 60g, search is _NOT_ scan
2.2) listen - similar to ROC on listen channel, but again, on 60g, listen is _NOT_ ROC

Then, this follows by GO negotiation etc.

Thanks, Vladimir
