[802SEC] Re: Fw: SLR Invitation to ballot on P260.1-SCC14
Because virtually all of our standards involve Quantities, Units and
Letter Symbols,
I strongly encourage members of the LMSC to join the ballot pool for SCC14
standards. At the very least, I would hope that each WG in 802 can find
some one
who is willing to join the ballot pool.

>>Obligations and Responsibilities of Balloters
>>=============================================
>>
>>If you choose to participate in this electronic ballot, once the ballot
>>opens you will be provided the URLs for the subject document and the

>>return the ballot with your vote. The IEEE requires that a minimum of

>>valid. As such, by agreeing to participate in this ballot you have an
>>*obligation* to respond.
>>
>>Failure to return a completed ballot may cause your name to be removed

>>your receiving Invitations to participate in future Sponsor Ballots.
>>
>>NOTE: This obligation to respond described above does *not* apply to
>>Recirculation Ballots (an additional ballot of a document you have
>>previously voted on). You only need to respond to a Recirculation Ballot
>>if you wish to change your initial vote. If you do not respond to a
>>Recirculation Ballot, your last recorded vote will be carried forward.
>>
>>The names of all voters will be listed in the front matter of the standard
>>when it is published. No contact information or how you voted will be
