Yes, it has.  WIEN has now been chartered as 802.11u.

We got a note from WIEN indicating that they had reviewed the document and
found that it was not in conflict with the proposed PAR for 802.11u.

Having said that, the 802.11u PAR does authorize work on network selection
within state 1 (unassociated, unauthenticated; EAP network discovery
requires the STA to be in state 3 (associated, authenticated).
