[802-LMSC] Agenda request and Meeting Fee requirement for LMSC meetings
All
I am requesting 15 minutes, II at our Monday opening session as follows:
Subject: IEEE Spain Section
Presenter: Antonio Robles Gómez, Vice-Presidente electo de IEEE España (2024-2025)
Also, I have been having an off-line discussion regarding meeting fee requirement for IEEE 802 LMSC meetings.
For conference calls outside of a plenary, we have never required a fee and I don't expect that we will.
The question remains for IEEE 802 LMSC meetings that happen during the Plenary session (from the opening meeting to the end of the closing meeting). These include:
Opening and closing meeting
Meetings of Standing Committees (IETF, JTC1, ISO, Publicity)
Other sessions (e.g., Chair's office hours, future venue planning)
Note that the WCSC and Rules meetings generally occur before the Plenary session.
George helpfully found that the IEEE 802 LMSC Operations Manual is the controlling document with regards to this and says that the registration requirement applies to "any portion of a technical meeting".
It further says: For the purposes of this OM, a technical meeting is defined as, but is not limited to, any meeting of a Working Group, Technical Advisory Group, PAR Study Group, any of their subgroups, or any call for interest at an IEEE 802 LMSC session.
Based on that, I would assert that all of the IEEE 802 LMSC meetings that occur during the Plenary Session, with the possible exception of the closing meeting, are governance meetings and are not technical meetings. Hence, the registration requirement would not apply.
But there is the "is not limited to" in the text. Hence, I am sure there will be lots of opinions on this. We have the wonderful rules meeting (registration is not required) that you can attend in July (even virtually) in which to express your view.
But, just in case, I have requested a fee waiver for Antonio.
