RE: [802SEC] Wednesday deadline for 802 News Bulletin info




Paul:

As previously mentioned, 802.3 has an alternative PR arm (the various
alliances).  With PR already covered, being two weeks behind on email, a
very heavy personal workload ... then, writing a "no news blurb" for the
meeting assumes very low priority.

If staff wants to build this function they need to drive it.  Why isn't the
chair's closing report the basis for staff writing the PR piece, which they
then request the chair review?

All,

The response to the call for summary info from the WGs is disappointing.
Why are 802.3, 802.11, 802.15 and 802.17 not responding?  What can be done
to improve the process?

It would be beneficial for 802 to publicize an 802-wide summary and promote
what we've accomplished at our plenary session.  From that summary, pointers
can be made to WG web sites detailing the specific accomplishments.

Let's make a more concerted effort to provide the summary information to
Karen McCabe.

Thanks,

--Paul Nikolich

Here is an update on the 802 News Bulletin:

*The deadlines of last Monday and last Wednesday are well behind us.
*To me knowledge, only 802.1 and 802.16 have contributed 802 News
Bulletin input.
*No one else has said anything (e.g., "I'll send something"; "I won't
send something", ...)
*802.15 identified Jim Meyer the Working Grop point of contact.
