Title: Message

Paul,  I also thought I had voted APPROVE on this ballot, but it could have got lost in the reflector schmaze.

Dear SEC members,

 

I have been notified that I did in fact not record votes.   Bob Heile Voted APPROVE and Stuart Kerry Voted APPROVE before the close of ballot.  These two approves change the result to PASS from FAIL.  (To the remaining DNV voters--please either call or email me if I did not record your vote correctly).  Mat, since the ballot PASSED, there is no need for a revised motion.

 

Given the ballot PASSED, the interpretation of the membership rules shall be followed as defined in the motion:

 

"Motion that until the P&P revision titled "WG membership" being balloted starting March 27th, 2003 is completed (estimated to occur at the end of the July 2003 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section 5.1.3.2 titled "Retention" reading:

’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four Plenary session meetings.’

Should be interpreted as reading:

’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four Plenary sessions. (An individual who attains membership by participation and attendance at the first meeting of a new Working Group is assumed to have the right to retain that membership by the granting of credit for 'full virtual attendance' at the plenary session that would be immediately previous to the first working group plenary session.)’”

 

Regards,

Dear SEC members,

The ballot closed as of 9PM  April 29, 2003.   The ballot result is FAIL.  However, there are many DNVs (did not votes)--5-- in this email ballot, which makes me concerned I might have missed counting votes.  If I mistakenly did not count your vote, please notify me immediately.

 

Mat, Geoff, given this interpretation failed,  please review the comments on the ballots and consider submitting a new motion to resolve the DISS/DNVs.

Regards,

 --Paul Nikolich

Subject: Motion for WG Initial membership interpretation

 

Paul,

 

I wish to formally make a motion concerning the interpretation of the current initial membership rules.  The motion I would like to make is as follows:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Motion that until the P&P revision titled "WG membership" being balloted starting March 27th, 2003 is completed (estimated to occur at the end of the July 2003 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section 5.1.3.2 titled "Retention" reading:

’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four Plenary session meetings.’

Should be interpreted as reading:

’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four Plenary sessions. (An individual who attains membership by participation and attendance at the first meeting of a new Working Group is assumed to have the right to retain that membership by the granting of credit for 'full virtual attendance' at the plenary session that would be immediately previous to the first working group plenary session.)’”

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Geoff Thompson helped develop this motion, and has agreed to second it.  Note that based on recent discussions it is somewhat different than the motion I said I would first make on the reflector.  This motion maximally protects the voting rights of initial members by ensuring retention of their rights through the first 4 plenary sessions.  We believe this is the motion that has the greatest chance of success.  If this fails, we may want make a second motion which we would want to complete before the end of the upcoming wireless interim session.  Since the motion is reasonably concise we would prefer a 15 day ballot period for this interpretation to allow time for a second round if needed.

 

Regards,

 

Mat
