Re: [802SEC] IEEE-SA Policy and Procedures (P&P) Changes- January 2012 - Important - Please read



Geoff -

I think you have perfectly made my point - i.e., the existing wording is a
no-op. However, I am not at all sure that the steps taken would be so few,
so simple, or over such a short time-scale. I admire your optimism.

HNY to you also!

Regards,
Tony
