Re: [802SEC] Can a maintenance PAR be brought to an EC interim telecon?

Adrian-

Pulling an item from the RevCom agenda is no big deal.

I think it is a misteak to stretch any of our procedures to do that.

What is the scope of your revision?

If it is only merging in amendments and incorporating maintenance items

then it "routine" by our procedures and doesn't even need recirculation before the plenary.

I tend to be a belt and suspenders guy so I would pre-circulate it anyway.

My advice and bottom line: Do it in March.

Best regards,

Geoff

Dear EC members,

The 802.11 WG approved a revision PAR.

According to the established practice,  we would pre-submit it by 10th Feb to get on the March telecon,
seek 802 EC approval in the March plenary,  and pull it from the NesCom agenda if that approval is not
forthcoming.
There is an EC telecon before 10th Feb.  Approval at that telecon would obviate any risk of having to
pull an item from the NesCom agenda.


The 802 Chair's guidelines say (thank you Jon):

4.36 Out of Scope topics for Interim Meetings:

Topics of discussion and decisions that are out of scope for the interim teleconference include topics that require working group input and/or discussion such as PAR approval.

During a plenary session,  our rules allow submission of a maintenance PAR 2 days before the closing plenary,  which does not
allow time for "working group input".

The question is whether it is the intention of 4.3.6 to prevent a maintenance PAR from being brought to the EC interim teleconference.
