RE: +++ IEEE 802 BALLOT: Approve $4K Funding for FCC to attend IEEE 802 meeting
Further to my one line approval of this ballot. I do believe this motion
will fail sadly. I hear the concerns and views, and concur with Bob Heile on
this matter.
I would like to make it clear that, as chair of 802.11 I have approved per
the wishes of my membership, and feel that we are not allowing a (poor
staving administration, pun definitely intended) the chance to have industry
and standards making involvement in their already overburdened process.
Don't forget, they have layed the olive branch on the table for us to take
up. As Chair of 802.11 I am seeing more and more concerns being raised on
FCC, and other administrations Regulatory matters and would like to make
progress in our standards making process.
With this, I have said my piece .........
Regards,
Stuart

I do not necessarily like this little FCC tradition of travel
reimbursement, but it is the way they operate. I don't like taxes
either. I do like the fact that the FCC is looking to organizations like
802 to recommend better ways of using spectrum rather than just having to
write standards that comply with limited rules. To that end, I think it
would be extremely useful to have interaction time with the FCC on how to
best take advantage of this more open policy making and since they are
there it could make for a good general interest tutorial for 802 as well.
I have been on panels with Knapp and he is a good speaker and is
responsible for many interesting things at the FCC. All the soap boxes
aside, I vote for building a key relationship.
ie I approve of the expenditure of funds for this purpose
