Rules for 802.1 Voting Liaisons

802.1 accepts Voting Liaisons from other LMSC Working Groups, and expects
reciprocal arrangements in cases where another Working Group conducts a
ballot on material directly related to 802.1's scope.  Appointment of the
Voting Liaisons to 802.1, and counting of liaison votes, are governed by
the following rules.

   1.   The Chair of each other LMSC Working Group is a Voting Liaison
        to 802.1.  Other members of the LMSC Executive Committee,
        including TAG Chairs, are not Voting Liaisons unless appointed
        under Rule 2.

   2.   The Chair of each other LMSC Working Group may appoint a
        reasonable number of additional Voting Liaisons to 802.1.  No
        disputes over "a reasonable number" are anticipated, but the
        Chair of 802.1 has discretion to apply to the LMSC Executive
        Committee for permission to set a limit.

   3.   Voting Liaisons may vote on 802.1 letter ballots, but not in
        802.1 meetings unless invited, on a particular vote, by the
        meeting chair.

   4.   Liaison votes are not counted in determining the response rate
        on an 802.1 letter ballot.  Up to two liaison votes from any
        particular LMSC Working Group are included in determining the
        approval rate.  Liaison ballots indicating abstention are not
        counted for either purpose.

   5.   On an 802.1 ballot, if more than two liaison votes from the
        same Working Group are cast, only two of the votes are counted,
        selecting disapprovals in preference to approvals.  All liaison
        comments are accepted for consideration and resolution.

   6.   Any vote cast by an individual with Voting Liaison privileges
        from multiple Working Groups is attributed to one of those Working
        Groups, selected in whatever way maximizes that vote's effect under
        the provisions of Rule 5.

   7.   If resolution of comments results in conversion of liaison votes,
        the approval rate is recalculated by applying rules 5 and 6 to
        the modified set of liaison votes.

   8.   If a Voting Member of 802.1 also holds Voting Liaison privileges,
        that member's vote is not counted as a liaison vote.
