Re: [802SEC] Motion to return 802.20 to individual voting rights
All,
I have my hands full with other stuff so I'm trying to stay out of this
fray, but we really should check if IEEE802 rules support entity voting.
As I understand things, the baseline Sponsor P&P (that we are now
modeled after) was set up specifically to support individual voting.
There are other model P&P within IEEE to support entity voting. While
AudCom is trying to combine them, the current baseline and our current
P&P were designed for individual balloting. We only do Entity balloting
as a special case (or when told to from on high...).
If you are going to allow 802.20 to continue entity balloting (I am
conflicted so I won't vote on this motion) I do recommend you consider
how that gels with our existing P&P.

James -
I believe reverting 802.20 to individual voting rights without giving
the WG a chance to make their views known is premature - they may
feel that the existing voting regime is working for them and they
want to keep it that way. I suggest we leave it up to the WG to make
a request of the EC in July if that is what they want.
Regards,
Tony
