I also take the opportunity to share my thoughts with you all in the attached document.
My affiliation is:

Tel: 732 699 2483
Fax: 732 336 7026

I am eager to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions so that we can work together and make a difference.

<https://mentor.ieee.org/802.21/dcn/10/21-10-0040-00-0000-wg-officer-election-process.doc>

According to the 802 LMSC Policies and Procedures <http://standards.ieee.org/board/aud/LMSC_2009.pdf>:

"IEEE 802 WG Chairs and Vice Chairs shall be elected by the WG and confirmed by the Sponsor.

All confirmed positions become effective at the end of the plenary session where the appointment/election occurs. The term for all WG Chairs and Vice Chairs ends at close of the first plenary session of each even numbered year."

As stated in the WG Officer Election Process,

"Candidates are encouraged to declare their candidacy, in a Working Group meeting or via the Working Group email reflector, as soon as possible before the election.

The names of those eligible who declare their candidacy at least eight days before the scheduled election shall be included on the paper ballot."

Candidacy requires a letter of declaration of your affiliation and an endorsement letter from your employer indicating the support needed to perform the duties of

Chair or Vice Chair for the 2 year term. These must be filed with the 802 EC Recording Secretary during the March Plenary Session.
