7.2 Procedure for public statements to government bodies
The rules in this subclause and its subsidiary subclauses may be suspended by 2/3 vote of the
IEEE 802 LMSC.
These procedures apply to public statement to government and intergovernmental bodies. All
interactions with the ITU will be treated as interactions with an intergovernmental body.
7.2.1 IEEE 802 LMSC public statements to government bodies
a)
IEEE 802 LMSC public statements to government bodies shall not be released without
prior approval by 2/3 of the IEEE 802 LMSC.
b)
All IEEE 802 LMSC public statements to government bodies shall be issued by the IEEE
802 LMSC Chair as the view of IEEE 802 LMSC (stated in the first paragraph of the
statement). Such public statements shall be copied to the IEEE 802 LMSC and the IEEE-
SA Standards Board Secretary and shall be posted on the IEEE 802 LMSC web site. The
IEEE 802 LMSC web site shall state that all such public statements shall expire five years
after issue.
7.2.2 IEEE 802 LMSC subgroup public statements to government bodies
a)
IEEE 802 LMSC subgroup public statements to government bodies shall not be released
without prior approval by an action of the IEEE 802 LMSC subgroup, per the “Approval
of an Action” requirements of IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures,
with a 75% approval threshold. Such public statements may proceed unless blocked by a
IEEE 802 LMSC vote. For public statements not presented for review in a sponsor
meeting, IEEE 802 LMSC members shall have a review period of at least five days; if,
during that time, a motion to block it is made, release of the public statement will be
withheld until a letter ballot of the IEEE 802 LMSC is held to determine if it is approved.
b)
IEEE 802 LMSC subgroup public statements shall be identified in the first paragraph as
the view of only the IEEE 802 LMSC subgroup and shall be issued by the IEEE 802
LMSC subgroup(s) Chair(s) and shall include the IEEE 802 LMSC Chair in the
distribution. Such public statements shall not bear the IEEE, the IEEE-SA, or IEEE 802
LMSC logos.
8. Use of IEEE 802 LMSC funds
The purpose of the IEEE 802 LMSC treasury is to allow the IEEE 802 LMSC to collect and
disburse funds for activities that are appropriate to the orderly development of IEEE 802 LMSC
standards. Use of such funds includes:

Payment for the expenses of conducting IEEE 802 LMSC hosted sessions and related
