10.3 Plenary review
In order to ensure wide consideration by IEEE 802 LMSC members, ICAIDs shall pass through
the following process during the IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session week in which IEEE 802
LMSC approval is sought.
Prior to the start of the IEEE 802 LMSC session, draft ICAIDs under consideration for approval
by the IEEE 802 LMSC shall be available at a publicly accessible URL and an email sent to the
IEEE 802 LMSC reflector should contain the URLs required for viewing the ICAID and
associated documentation. Working Group chairs should inform their Working Groups of the
ICAIDs that have been circulated to the IEEE 802 LMSC. Once approved or disapproved by the
IEEE 802 LMSC, ICAIDs and supporting material should be removed from the public URL.
Supporting material shall be available in sufficient detail for members of other Working Groups
to understand if they have an interest in the proposed ICAID (i.e., if they would like to contribute
to/participate in the proposed work, or identify if there is conflict with existing or anticipated
work in their current Working Group).
Subgroups, other than the proposing subgroup, shall express concerns to the proposing subgroup
as soon as possible and shall submit comments to the proposing Working Group and the IEEE
802 LMSC by e-mail not later than 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday of the plenary session.
The proposing Working Group shall post a response to the commenting Working Group and to
the IEEE 802 LMSC together with a Final ICAID on a public website and circulate the relevant
URL on the IEEE 802 LMSC reflector not later than 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday of the plenary
session. It will be assumed that insufficient coordination and/or inter-Working Group
consideration had occurred prior to the submission of the ICAID if this deadline is not met, and
the proposed ICAID will not be considered by the IEEE 802 LMSC at the closing IEEE 802
LMSC meeting.
11. Policy for distribution of new IEEE 802 LMSC standards
publications
All IEEE 802 LMSC standards will be distributed on an annual basis to registered attendees.
12. Procedure for conditional approval to forward a draft standard
This procedure is to be used when approval to forward a draft standard to sponsor ballot or to
RevCom is conditional on successful completion of a Working Group or sponsor recirculation
ballot, respectively.
Conditional approval is only appropriate when ballot resolution efforts have been substantially
completed and the approval ratio is sufficient. "Substantially complete" is when there is a very
low likelihood of receiving valid new Disapprove comment(s)/vote(s) upon the next recirculation
ballot. If the requirements for conditional approval have not been met at end of that recirculation
ballot, then one subsequent recirculation ballot may be conducted in an attempt to meet the
conditional approval conditions. If the conditions are not met by the subsequent recirculation
ballot, the conditional approval terminates. Conditional approval expires at the opening of the
next plenary.
Agenda Items and motions requesting conditional approval to forward when the prior ballot has
closed shall be accompanied by:
