15.2 Working Group financial operation with joint treasury
Two or more Working Groups with the approval of the IEEE 802 LMSC may operate with a
single joint treasury. Working Groups that operate with a joint treasury shall have no other
treasury. The merger of separate Working Group treasuries into a joint treasury or the splitting of
a joint treasury into separate Working Group treasuries requires approval of the IEEE 802
LMSC. Each such action shall be supported by a motion from each of the involved Working
Groups that requests the action and that has been approved by the Working Group.
The operation of a joint treasury is subject to the same rules as a Working Group operating with
treasury with the following exception: The Executive Committee overseeing the joint treasury
shall be a Joint Executive Committee that is the union of the Executive Committees of the
Working Groups operating with the joint treasury. The Chair of the Joint Executive Committee
shall be selected by the Joint Executive Committee and shall be the Chair of one of the
participating Working Groups.
