Subject: [802SEC] need UC-EC second for Motion to return 802.20 to individual voting rights

All,

Can we please get someone to second this motion?

The motion will be decided by the UC-EC, so we'll need a UC-EC member to 
second it.  As a reminder, the UC-EC consists of: voters: Gilb, Lemon, Law, 
Lynch, Kraemer, Hawkins, Rigsbee, Jeffree, Heile and non-voters Thompson, 
Nikolich.

Regards,

--Paul
