RE: [802SEC] Standards CD-ROM and MOTION




I vote NO for all of the aforementioned reasons.  

And Jim was right,  Pat is wrong; this is not just a volunteer job.  After Geoff started us off 
and proved it was a doable task, the job was assigned to the Recording Secretary (then 
Howard Frazier) as an ongoing task.  So Bob O'Hara inherited the responsibility, when 
he took over from Howard.  

C'mon guys, were all volunteers.  I think we have an obligation to our members.   

Thanx,  Buzz
