Bruce and 802.11 members,

With this e-mail, I am announcing my nomination to stand for election for 802.11 Working Group Chair during the upcoming March 2014 meeting in Beijing.

If elected, I would be honored to undertake the responsibilities of the chair position of the 802.11 WG, building on the current successful processes and working relationships with other organizations to meet the challenges that will certainly appear.

If not elected as Chair, I will stand for Vice-Chair of the IEEE 802.11 WG.

I do have the support of my employer to fulfill the duties of chair/vice chair and will provide the required endorsement letters to the IEEE 802 Recording Secretary.

Thank you,

Dorothy Stanley

Chair, IEEE 802.11mc

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

–        Announcement of Candidate slate

–        Final call for Nominations and close of nominations

•          802.11 Mid-week Plenary on Wednesday March 19

–        Candidate speeches of ~5 minutes each followed by Q&A

–        Elections (voting token required)

•          First candidate for each position to obtain >50% wins

•          Down selection votes if needed

•          Confirmation by EC on Friday March 21

•          802.11 officers officially instated to office after close of EC business Friday

4.       Appointed 802.11 positions will be decided and announced by the 802.11 Chair after the election.

These WG positions are: Secretary , Treasurer, Publicity, ANA Authority, WG Technical Editors

5.       Task Group, Study Group and Standing Committee chairs will be elected during the May 2014 meeting in Waikoloa Hawaii.

Regards,
Bruce Kraemer
Chair IEEE 802.11, President-Elect IEEE SA
