Re: [802SEC] July 2020 IEEE 802 Executive Committee election process



James,

 

                I do not think Webex/Zoom would work too well for on-line motions.

 

                I think we want a system that validates (by email or login/password) seems fine.

 

                I also think the tool should automate the counting, for real-time results

 

                If you wanted to use the honor system we could consider Webex/Zoom and write some code to processes the downloaded file from those systems.  I do not know the format, since I have not run those straw polls, but I did participate in lots of polls. J

 

Regards,

Steve

With a poll sent to specific email addresses, we can reasonably assume that the correct person responds.

 

How would we verify that with Webex/Zoom?

 

Of course, we could just trust people.
