Subject: [802SEC] Further Info re. 802.11g to Sponsor Ballot


Dear SEC members,

                I am writing to provide further clarification on the status of 802.11g
balloting.

                The recirculation of Draft 6.1 closed on Tuesday, February 4, 2003.  
Note that there was an error in the e-mail below, where this date was
incorrectly stated.

                As a results of the recirculation ballot, we have NO new disapprove
votes.  There are also NO new valid disapprove comments.

                The results of the original balloting (Draft 5.0) and the
recirculation ballot (Draft 6.1) are as follows:

                                 Draft:                                                     5.0
                                 Closed:                                                   1/8/03
                                 Voting Pool:                                   321
                                 Ballots returned:                  308    96.0%
                                 Affirmative:                                   256    88.3%
                                 Negative:                                                    34       11.7%
                                 Abstentions:                                   18

                The results of the recirculation are as follows:

                                 Draft:                                                   6.1
                                 Closed:                                                   2/4/03
                                 Voting Pool:                                   321
                                 Ballots returned:                  310    96.6%
                                 Affirmative:                                   285    97.6%
                                 Negative:                                                         7       2.4%
                                 Abstentions:                 18
               
                Of the seven negative votes, six of them are carried forward due to
lack of response (multiple attempts have been made).  One of the seven is a reaffirmed negative vote from
Carl Temme, who indicated that he wanted to see the draft move to
Sponsor Ballot despite his NO vote.  There were 27 voters that changed
there vote from negative to affirmative during the recirculation.

                No technical changes have been made to Draft 6.1.  The IEEE editorial
staff has requested approximately two editorial changes such as making
sure the footer of the document has the most up-to-date copyright
language.  These changes are editorial in nature only, and the 802.11g
editor has made these changes, updated the draft to Draft 6.2 and
provided this draft to the IEEE SA staff.

                We plan to forward Draft 6.2 to Sponsor ballot, as all conditions of
Procedure 10 have been met.  The IEEE SA staff intends to issue the
802.11g Sponsor Ballot today, Thursday, February 6, 2003.

Best regards,
Stuart J. Kerry
