Andy, You are absolutely right. This is an excellent point and it would be
good to discuss this in the telecon in a little while. Best Regards -Vivek From: andy.sago@bt.com
[mailto:andy.sago@bt.com] Vivek Although I am not in the ballot pool, I
would like clarification of one clause in the Letter Ballot instructions. It
would be good to have things right before the ballot starts, to avoid
procedural problems later. The sections is: "4.1.1 75% Return Rate The ballot will not be considered successful if less than
75% of the ballot group members return a vote. If this return rate has not been
achieved by the specified closing date, the ballot may be extended by the WG
Chair. If extended, the ballot may however be closed immediately when 75%
return rate has been reached." Although 75% return rate would be
excellent and an achievable aspiration, the LMSC Policies and Procedures
only require 50%. Raising this to 75% for 802.21 would set a precedent. On
February 16th Ajay wrote: "To forward a draft standard or a
revised standard to the Executive Committee for approval for Sponsor Ballot
Group voting, a letter ballot (or confirmation letter ballot) must be done
first within the Working Group. A 75 percent approval of the Working Group
confirmation letter ballot is necessary with at least 50 percent of the members
voting." Has the group agreed to
raise the requirement to 75% of the members voting, in contradiction of
the P&P? Note that if the 75% figure is changed to
50%, it also needs changing in clause 4.3. I may be able to attend the teleconference
today if it is still taking place. I have not received bridge details, but also
I am not an 802.21 member so understand if I am ineligible. Regards |
