Dear 802.11 members,

1. As previously noted, elections for 802.11 officers will occur at the upcoming March 2014 Plenary session being held in Beijing China.

For 802.11 that means that the Chair and two Vice-Chair positions must be decided

Nominations for these positions are open.

2. Although it is possible that a candidate could be nominated at the opening March plenary it is traditional, and recommended, that candidate nominations occur by about 30 days prior to the election event. This time period allows adequate time for members to consider the candidates and for candidates to prepare for the election..

Note that properly completed endorsements will be required prior to confirmation:

According to the IEEE 802 LMSC P&P, "Any person to be confirmed by the Sponsor shall, prior to confirmation by the Sponsor, file with the Recording Secretary a letter of endorsement from their supporting entity"

Appointed members of the EC, WG Chairs and WG Vice Chairs are all confirmed by the Sponsor and so anyone who would like to run for one of these positions or anticipates being appointed to one, will be required to submit an endorsement letter signed by the Sponsor member and "an individual who has management responsibility for the Sponsor member."

prior to a confirmation vote.

In addition, the 802 EC Chair requires that members who are to be confirmed also file signed statement of affiliation with the Recording Secretary.

Acceptable templates for these two documents can be found under the heading Documents for EC members at: http://www.ieee802.org/devdocs.shtml

3. An outline of the election process we will use when we convene in March follows:

• 802.11 Opening Plenary on Monday March 17
