Schedule for recirculation ballot and resolution meeting.
Where a voter has accepted some comment resolutions and rejected others, only the comments of
which the voter has not accepted resolution should be presented.
When conditional forwarding to sponsor ballot has been approved, the conditions shall be met
before initiating sponsor ballot. When conditional forwarding to RevCom has been approved by
the IEEE 802 LMSC, the submittal may be forwarded to RevCom before the conditions have
been fulfilled in order to meet the submittal requirements for the next RevCom meeting.
However, the submittal shall be withdrawn from the RevCom agenda if the conditions have not
been met one week before the RevCom meeting.
Conditions:
a)
Recirculation ballot is completed. Generally, the recirculation ballot and resolution
should occur in accordance with the schedule presented at the time of conditional
approval.
b)
After resolution of the recirculation ballot is completed, the approval percentage is at
least 75% and there are no new valid DISAPPROVE votes.
c)
No technical changes, as determined by the Working Group Chair, were made as a result
of the recirculation ballot.
d)
No new valid DISAPPROVE comments on new issues that are not resolved to the
satisfaction of the submitter from existing DISAPPROVE voters.
e)
If the Working Group Chair determines that there is a new invalid DISAPPROVE
comment or vote, the Working Group Chair shall promptly provide details to the IEEE
802 LMSC.
f)
The Working Group Chair shall immediately report the results of the ballot to the IEEE
802 LMSC including: the date the ballot closed, vote tally and comments associated with
any remaining disapproves (valid and invalid), the Working Group responses and the
rationale for ruling any vote invalid.
Submissions may be forwarded to RevCom without IEEE 802 LMSC Approval or Conditional
Approval in order to meet the submittal requirements for the next RevCom meeting, provided
that the IEEE 802 LMSC Chair first notifies the IEEE 802 LMSC email reflector that, in the
IEEE 802 LMSC Chair’s view based on the complete RevCom package, there is a reasonable
expectation that the submittal will be approved by the IEEE 802 LMSC before the RevCom
meeting. If it becomes apparent that approval will not be completed, the submittal shall be
withdrawn from the RevCom agenda as early as possible.
NOTE: Withdrawal of an agenda item is a significant discourtesy to the volunteer members of
RevCom.
