IEEE 802.11 Letter Ballot 217

Instructions

Step 1 - Voting

When prompted, Enter your IEEE web account credentials. You won't be prompted if you have already logged in to mentor, e.g., to access the 802.11 documents. You should see a voting screen. Enter your affiliation from the drop-down list and select one of the available votes. Press OK.

You will receive an email notifying you of your vote. You can also check that your vote has been recorded as follows: re-enter the voting page by pressing the green voting button. You should see that the radio buttons now reflect the state of your current vote. You can press the green button at any time during the ballot to check or change your vote. See: ePoll User Guide 5.1

Note that you should never need to acquire a new IEEE-SA web account, if you already have one. This document describes how to change the primary email address and affiliation associated with a web account. If you are eligible to vote and do not have an IEEE-SA web account, then follow the instructions in the document to get an IEEE-SA web account, and then email the 2nd vice chair with your SA pin. This is necessary before ePoll will allow you to vote.
Step 2 - commenting
Once you have voted, the links "Add comment" and "Upload comments" will appear on the voting screen.
These links do not appear until you have recorded a vote.

You can re-enter the voting screen as often as you like by pressing big green button above in order to enter comments.

If you wish to enter comments, please vote either approve or disapprove.

See ePoll User Guide 5.2
- Single comments
  
  Press the "Add comment" link from the voting screen.
  
  Enter values for the fields (see table below for help on what to put in these fields).
  
  Then press "OK".
- Multiple comments
  
  To upload multiple comments press the "Upload comments" link from the voting screen. There are two formats that you can use for the upload file: .xls or .csv.
  
  The "upload comments" page provides links to template files in .csv and .xls formats. The .xls template includes some field validations. If this doesn't work with your spreadsheet program, use the .csv format.
  
  Fill in your comments. Then browse to the file and press the OK button.
  
  The system will not let you upload comments that do not meet the requirements described below in "Comments".

Notes

This is a 30-day Technical letter ballot and the ballot group (i.e., those that may vote) for this ballot is all IEEE 802.11 voters as of the start of this letter ballot.
All current voter members of 802.11 are required to vote on this ballot.
If you cast a "Do not approve" vote on this ballot, it must be accompanied by "must be satisfied = yes" comments for your vote to be valid.
You must follow these instructions to vote. Do not send an email to vote. Voting by any method other than the web-based process described here will invalidate your vote. Failure to follow these instructions will result in your vote being discarded as an invalid vote. Not voting on letter ballots or sending an invalid vote can affect your voting privileges.
The draft is password protected in accordance with IEEE 802 Policies and Procedures. To obtain the draft, use the username and the password supplied to active members for the 802.11 WG private area.
You need an IEEE-SA web account to vote. Instructions for getting an account, changing the registered email address and affiliation are here. If you get a new IEEE-SA web account, you will need to record an interest in C/LM/WG802.11, and let the WG chair know your new SA pin before you can vote using this account.

Comments
Should you wish to submit comments, the following instructions indicate how to fill in the fields of the comment.

Comment	Describe the problem here.
Category	Select one of: Technical, Editorial or General. If you are filling in a comment spreadsheet, be sure to use the full word spelled out as above. If you don't exactly match one of these three terms, the system will not let you upload your spreadsheet.
Page Number	If you choose to include a page / line number reference in your comments, please do so by entering a non-negative integer in these columns (or roman numeral page number). In recirculation ballots make sure you quote the page number printed at the bottom of the page in the clean draft, not the redline draft, as they will be different.
Line Number
Subclause	Include there the number of the heading that your comment applies to (e.g. 5, 2.1, 4.2.3., C, C.3, 8.2a.4b). If you have a comment that applies to the entire document put "General" in the section field. Don't put "all", "many", "various" or any other word you may personally fancy. If the field contains anything other that a (sub)clause number or "General", the comment may be discarded and your vote possibly invalidated. If your comment relates to a table/figure, place the clause in which the table/figure resides in this column and put a reference to the table/figure at the start of the comment. Put only the clause number and not any words such as "clause" or "annex".
Proposed Change	If you do not recommend a change the comment may be skipped as you have not asked the group to do anything. Please keep the explanation of the comment separate from what you want done as a result of your reasoning. The voting group is too large for the task group to be interpreting what you are requesting. Please remember that the operating rules state that all "No" votes MUST be accompanied by comments which include specific reasons and enough information for the group to understand what you desire in order to change your "no" to a "yes". Simply saying "not good enough" is insufficient as the task group cannot reasonably be expected to understand what would satisfy the commenter and so invalidation of the vote is justifiable.
Must Be Satisfied	This field appears on the web user-interface only if you have voted "no". Clearly it is present in the spreadsheet regardless of vote. This field indicates whether the comment must be satisfied in order for you to change your vote to "yes". Any voter that votes "no" must have at least one comment marked "must be satisfied=yes" as to support for their "no" vote. This field must not be left blank for any comment accompanying a "no" vote, as the intent of the voter regarding this comment would be ambiguous. If you are uploading a spreadsheet, be sure to use either "Yes" or "No" in this column, as any other value might stop the system accepting your comments. Any voter that votes "yes" should not have any comments marked "yes" in this column.
Other notes related to writing comments:
Redline drafts	The redline draft (if present) is there to show differences between a version being balloted in the current ballot and a previous version. Due to limitations of the tools used to produce the redline, this version of the draft may contain artifacts arising from the comparison process. Before reporting a comment against a problem found in a redline draft always check that it is also present in the clean draft. Regardless of the above, always report any page and line numbers from the clean draft.
