Re: [802SEC] March Plenary Registration



Although the right links exist, it's clear that the page is confusing. Also, there is no apparent need to include dates, which simply lead to a maintenance requirement.

Here's a proposed update, with changes in red.

PS: "Meeting" could also be changed to "Session" throughout.

As Pat has pointed out the only 'Meeting Information & Registration' link on that page reads 'IEEE 802 Wireless Interim Session - January 2013' although if you click on that link it actually takes you to the May 2013 Wireless Interim Session registration. There is no link on the IEEE 802 Home Page to the <http://802world.org/plenary> URL you mention.

Perhaps the text label on the link should be something like "IEEE 802 Wireless Interim Information Page", and perhaps it should be moved down into the list below. And there is no need to reference the meeting date; that just makes it a maintenance item.

We can easily extend the deadline by 1 or 2 weeks to avoid some serious push-back from our members.   We have done this before and I believe we could do it again for this time to give folks some more leeway.    Going early makes sense for nNA sessions where we need the extra time, but not for NA sessions.

However, when I go to the webpage (clicking on registration on this page - http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/index.htmland it directs you to http://802world.org/wireless/)  - I can not get to registration for the March Plenary. Instead I am forwarded to the May 12-17, 2013 Waikoloa, HI meeting.
