Re: [802SEC] +++ SEC Rules Change Letter Ballot +++ Ballot on WG electronic voting
Bill,
My interpretation of this rule is that the WG chair is empowered to decide
procedural issues. In practice, the WG chair usually puts such matters to
a vote, after declaring them to be procedural.
A good chair refrains from exercising his or her authority to the limit. You
save your silver bullets for the day when the werewolf is on the loose and
hungry.
