Dear SEC members,
I have been notified that did in fact not record
votes. Bob Heile Voted APPROVE and Stuart Kerry Voted APPROVE
before the close of ballot. These two approves change the result to
PASS from FAIL. (To the remaining DNV voters--please either call or email
me if I did not record your vote correctly). Mat, since the ballot PASSED, there is no need for a revised
motion.
Given the ballot PASSED, the interpretation of
the membership rules shall be followed as defined in the
motion:
"Motion that until the P&P revision titled "WG membership" being
balloted starting March 27th, 2003 is completed (estimated to occur at the end
of the July 2003 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section
5.1.3.2 titled "Retention" reading:
’Membership is retained by
participating in at least two of the last four Plenary session
meetings.’
Should be interpreted as reading:
’Membership is
retained by participating in at least two of the last four Plenary sessions. (An
individual who attains membership by participation and attendance at the first
meeting of a new Working Group is assumed to have the right to retain that
membership by the granting of credit for 'full virtual attendance' at the
plenary session that would be immediately previous to the first working group
plenary session.)’”

Result: FAIL-- Motion for WG Initial membership interpretation
Dear SEC members,
The ballot closed as of
9PM April 29, 2003. The ballot result is FAIL.
However, there are many DNVs (did not votes)--5-- in this email ballot, which
makes me concerned I might have missed counting votes. If I
mistakenly did not count your vote, please notify me immediately.
Mat, Geoff, given this interpretation
failed, please review the comments on the ballots and
consider submitting a new motion to resolve the
DISS/DNVs.
Regards,

Subject: Motion for WG Initial membership
interpretation
Paul,
I wish to formally make a motion
concerning the interpretation of the current initial membership rules.
The motion I would like to make is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Motion that until the P&P
revision titled "WG membership" being balloted starting March 27th, 2003 is
completed (estimated to occur at the end of the July 2003 IEEE 802 Plenary
meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section 5.1.3.2 titled "Retention"
reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of
the last four Plenary session meetings.’
Should be interpreted as
reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of
the last four Plenary sessions. (An individual who attains membership by
participation and attendance at the first meeting of a new Working Group is
assumed to have the right to retain that membership by the granting of
credit for 'full virtual attendance' at the plenary session that would be
immediately previous to the first working group plenary
session.)’”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geoff Thompson helped develop
this motion, and has agreed to second it. Note that based on recent
discussions it is somewhat different than the motion I said I would first
make on the reflector. This motion maximally protects the voting
rights of initial members by ensuring retention of their rights through the
first 4 plenary sessions. We believe this is the motion that has the
greatest chance of success. If this fails, we may want make a second
motion which we would want to complete before the end of the upcoming
wireless interim session. Since the motion is reasonably concise we
would prefer a 15 day ballot period for this interpretation to allow time
for a second round if needed.
