[802SEC] Definition of "Affiliation"--discussion during rules meeting 8-8:30pm Sunday 5MAR



Dear EC members,

Mat Sherman has agreed to allocate 30 minutes of time (8-8:30pm) during 
tonight's (Sunday 5MAR) rules meeting to developing a definition of 
'affiliation' with regards to my request on the disclosure of affiliation 
for EC members and their WG/TAG leadership.  Attached below is the ANSI 
definition, which I think is a good starting point--but we may be able to 
improve it for 802 LMSC application.  The IEEE SA counsel, Michael Lindsay, 
may be able to join us for this discussion and I encourage all the EC 
members that have raised concerns about a developing proper definition 
participate.

My objective will be to develop a draft definition tonight that I can 
present to the EC (perhaps for approval at the opening EC meeting) and to 
the body of 802 during the opening plenary meeting.

Regards,

--Paul
