Please read the 802 LMSC P&P  section 7.4.2


***********************
7.4 Study Groups 
 
Study groups are formed when enough interest has been identified for a
particular area of study,
such as a new access method or modified use of an existing access method.
Two types of Study 
Groups are specified:
 
a) An Executive Committee Study Group (ECSG) is initiated by vote of the
Executive 
Committee and the ECSG Chair is appointed and approved by the Executive
Committee. 
The ECSG Chair has the same responsibilities as a Working Group Chair as
specified in 
subclause 7.2.4.1 but does not have Executive Committee voting rights.
 
b) A Working Group Study Group (WGSG) is initiated by vote of the Working
Group or 
TAG and approved by the Executive Committee. The WGSG Chair is appointed and
approved by the Working Group or TAG.
 
The Study Group shall have a defined task with specific output and a
specific time frame
established within which it is allowed to study the subject. It is expected
that the work effort to
develop a PAR will originate in an ECSG or WGSG. A Study Group shall report
its 
recommendations, shall have a limited lifetime, and is chartered
session-to-session. A study
group is expected to submit a PAR to the EC for consideration within two
plenary sessions of
it¹s initiation.  After the Study Group recommendations have been accepted
by the parent body,
the Study Group will be disbanded no later than the end of the next Plenary
Session. 
 
The decision of whether to utilize an existing Working Group or TAG, or to
establish a new 
Working Group or TAG to carry out recommended work items shall be made by
the Executive 
Committee with due consideration of advice from the Study Group.
 
7.4.1 Study Group Operation
 
Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at Opening Plenary meetings
by the Working 
Group, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the
Chair, if necessary,
LMSC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REVISED JANUARY 4, 2006 PAGE 25 OF 42
  FILE: LMSC_P&P_NOVEMBER_2005_R051204.DOC
 
and will follow the general operating procedures for Working Groups
specified in subclauses
7.2.3.5 and 7.2.4. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no
letter ballots are 
permitted. 
 
7.4.2 Voting at Study Group Meetings
 
Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions
(including recommending
approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting
³Approve² or 
³Disapprove.²

I am a little surprised at the procedure that was mentioned to choose
the SG Chair. If the SG is approved as a WGSG then how is it that anyone
present for the SG could vote for a SG Chair. I would think that only
the WG members are eligible for this vote.
