March 2024 802 EC Election Process


Per the LMSC P&P (8 Feb 2021) sections 3.0 (Officers), and 4.0 (Membership), the “term for all officers of the Standards Committee ends at close of the first plenary session of each even numbered year.” Accordingly, election/appointments are scheduled to occur at the March 2024 Plenary Session.  

 

As noted in March 2022, I will not stand for re-election as Chair of 802 LMSC.  To date, one candidate – James Gilb – has announced an intention to stand for the Chair position.  

 

Each LMSC Chair candidate should, prior to the start of the March 2023 Plenary Session, identify individuals to serve in the LMSC Appointed Officer positions:

Appointed Voting Members:

·         first Vice-Chair, second Vice-Chair, Recording Secretary, Executive Secretary and Treasurer.

Appointed Non-Voting Members:

·         Members Emeritus (at the discretion of the LMSC Chair)

·         Hibernating Working Group Chairs: 802.16 WG, 802.21 WG, and 802.22 WG

·         Standing Committee (SC) Chairs: 802 Wireless Chairs SC, 802/IETF SC, 802/ITU SC, 802/JTC1/SC6 SC

 

According to the P&P, all “appointed and elected positions become effective at the end of the plenary session where the appointment/election occurs.” Since, per the P&P, the officer and other member appointments are made by the “Standards Committee Chair,” rather than the Chair-Elect, the Chair-Elect would not have the opportunity to make appointments until after the close of the session, when the membership terms have expired. All appointments would then remain filled on an “acting” basis pending confirmation at a subsequent plenary session. To avoid this delay, it is my intention to, as Chair, appoint individuals as previously identified by the Chair-Elect. The resulting appointments could then proceed directly to confirmation during the March plenary.
