[802SEC] Appeal panel decision on the Appeal of Dr. David V James



Dear EC members, IEEE SASB Chair, CS-SAB Chair and IEEE-SA Secretary,

On 19AUG I received the decision of the appeal panel on the appeal of the resolution of sponsor ballot comments on the revision of IEEE Standard 802.3 by Dr. David V. James.  The hearing was held 20JUL.   A summary of the findings are below.

My thanks to the members of the appeal panel (Bob O'Hara Chair, Mat Sherman and John Hawkins) for their excellent work on this task.

Regards,

--Paul Nikolich 

Summary of the findings of the appeal panel

The appeal panel has examined all of the evidence and references in the light of the testimony provided by the Appellant and Appellees. We find the following:
1. as to the Appellant's objection regarding "Obscure responses. Responsive responses to rejected comments were not provided", we find that the objection is without merit and the requested actions are denied. 
2. as to the Appellant's objection regarding "Content violations. Document content and responses knowingly violate the IEEE Style Manual", we find that the objection is without merit and the requested actions are denied. 
3. as to the Appellant's objection regarding "Procedure violations. No attempts were made to reconcile rejections; the commenter was effectively excluded from key comment-resolution discussions", we find that the objection is without merit and the requested actions are denied.
