Subject: [802SEC] +++ EC Ballot closing Friday Nov 29 - liaison motion regarding 1905.1a +++

 

 

 

Dear EC members,

During a joint 802.1/802.11 session Thursday morning we discussed  the fact that 1905.1 has a revision PAR

on the December NesCom agenda and agreed that we should become involved in the

project as soon as possible. The joint session unanimously approved the following motion.

 

Moved, that the Chair of IEEE 802 requests a liaison be established with IEEE 1905.1a.

 

Both Tony and I forgot to place the item on the closing EC agenda.

 

To remedy the situation, Paul has authorized me to conduct a 10 day eballot on the motion below.

A draft of the liaison letter is included below the motion.

Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting Rules' of the IEEE project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee
 (LMSC) Operations Manual (v15 As approved 19 July 2013) , this is notice that
 this ballot may close early once sufficient responses are received to clearly decide a matter.

 

 

 

P1905.1 WG Chairman

Dear Purva Rajkotia,

 

The 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee would like to establish a formal

 bi-directional liaison with the P1905.1 WG to allow an exchange of

 drafts as needed. In particular, 802 will share requested drafts with 1905.1 for 
voluntary review and comment and 1905.1 will share requested drafts and 
supporting material (pre and post draft development) regarding the 1905.1a 
project with 802.1/802.11 for review and comment.

We request that you express your willingness to

 pursue the liaison not later than 01FEB2014 .  We also request that

the liaison be established to allow information exchange by March

1, 2014. When the liaison has been established 802 will designate a 

liaison representative.

Please share this request within your group and let me

know the outcome of your discussions on this request .

 

Thank you for your prompt attention on this matter.

 

Regards,

 

  Paul Nikolich

802 Chairman

 

 

4.1.2 Voting rules

All EC approvals on motions to progress or establish a project or study group require explicit

vote counts (Yes/No/Abstain) to be reported by the originating subgroup.

At times, it may become necessary for the Sponsor to render a decision that cannot be made prior

to the close of one plenary but must be made prior to the opening of the following plenary. Such

decisions may be made using electronic balloting. Provision shall be made for the IEEE 802

LMSC membership to observe and comment on Sponsor electronic ballots. All comments from

those who are not members of the Sponsor shall be considered. Commenters who are not

members of the Sponsor are urged to seek a Voting Member of the Sponsor (normally their WG

or TAG Chair) to include the viewpoint of the commenter in their vote.

The Sponsor Chair, or a Sponsor member designated by the Sponsor Chair (usually a Vice

Chair), shall determine the duration of the ballot, issue the ballot by e-mail and tally the votes

after the ballot is closed. Sponsor Voting Members shall return their vote and comments by

e-mail.

The minimum duration of an electronic ballot shall be 10 days1. For urgent matters once

sufficient response is received to clearly decide a matter, the ballot may be closed early. This

allows a decision to be reach in less than 10 days. Ballots where the possibility of an early close

exists must be clearly marked accordingly. Otherwise, the tally of votes shall not be made until at

least 24 hours after the close of the ballot to allow time for delivery of the e-mail votes.
