Important notes:

This is a 20-day Recirculation letter ballot and the voting pool for this ballot is the same voter pool that was used for the original letter ballot that passed the 75% threshold for 802.11ac, i.e., Letter Ballot 187. If you have voted on LB187, you are not required to vote on this ballot. Your most recent ballot will be carried forward.
If you wish to change your vote, you must respond to this ballot. -
You must follow the instructions below to vote. Do not send an email to vote. Voting by any method other than the web-based process described below will invalidate your vote. Failure to follow these instructions will result in your vote being discarded as an invalid vote. Not voting on letter ballots or sending an invalid vote can affect your voting privileges.

See: ePoll User Guide 5.1
Note on voting "Abstain". When voting abstain, you are required to declare the reason for abstaining. You can indicate a reason by entering a ballot comment containing: "Reason for abstain: <your reason here>". If you do not indicate a reason, a implicit declaration of "lack of technical expertise" is assumed.
Note that abstaining for any reason that is not "lack of technical expertise" is treated as a valid return for the purposes of calculating the return ratio, but does not go towards maintaining voting membership of 802.11 -- i.e., repeated abstains that are not due to lack of technical expertise might result in loss of voting membership.
Commenting
