[802SEC] +++ 30 day EC email ballot ++++ Proposed changes to 802 P&P

["James P. K. Gilb" <gilb@ieee.org>]

802 EC members

Background:
We received a comment on our proposed P&P.  In our old P&P, public 
statements require only majority vote, however in the new baseline, they 
require super majority vote.

In keeping with our old P&P, I had moved this from super majority to 
simple majority.   However, in that baseline, the super majority items 
are not allowed to be moved to simple majority.

Hence, I have posted a new proposed P&P to mentor at 
https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/12/ec-12-0084-00-00EC-proposed-lmsc-p-p-rev-13.doc 
and I have attached a copy as well.

Motion:
This email serves as the submission 30 days in advance of the conclusion 
of an electronic ballot to approve them.  I propose the following motion 
to be confirmed by an EC electronic ballot that concludes on January 3, 
2013:

-------------
This motion is proposed using the process defined in "Revision of 
Sponsor P&P" in our currently approved Sponsor P&P.

Moved: The 802 EC approves the document ec-12-0084-00-00EC as the IEEE 
802 LMSC Policies and Procedures that will be submitted to AudCom for 
approval, with editorial changes allowed.

Moved: James Gilb
Second: Jon Rosdahl
------------

Reference, from Clause 12 of IEEE 802's approved P&P:

12 Revision of Sponsor P&P

Revisions to these P&P shall be submitted to the sponsor no less than 30 
day in advance of a motion (or conclusion of an electronic ballot) to 
approve them. Amendments in response to comments on the P&P are 
permitted. Insufficient time to consider complex amendments is a valid 
reason to vote disapprove. A motion to revise the Sponsor P&P shall 
require a vote of approve by at least two thirds of all members of the 
Sponsor.

Second Vice Chair's note regarding threshold for passing the motion:
We have 5 officers, 9 WG/TAG chairs, 2 chairs of hibernating WGs and 2 
member emeriti
 - 10 WGs/TAGs, but count Gilb in officers, not as TAG chair
 - 18 members, 2/3 approval is 12 affirmative votes

IEEE 802 Second Vice Chair
