stds-802-16: Status Report: Letter Ballot #4
I have posted a Letter Ballot #4 status report:
http://ieee802.org/16/tga/ballot04/report.html
I'll update it aperiodically. You may wish to comfirm your vote.
We now have 56 ballots cast. This leaves us 33 ballots short. Since a
large number of our members are inactive, we will need a large
turnout from the remaining set of active members.

>Happy New Year, IEEE 802.16 Members and Friends!

>IEEE 802.16 Working Group Letter Ballot #4 closes TOMORROW! This is
>the ballot of IEEE 802.16a/D1 (the full 2-11 GHz air interface
>draft).
>
>Currently, I have votes from 10 members out of 178 (list below).
>Unless we receive a ballot from 79 more members, the ballot will
>fail by missing the 50% return rate requirement. This would
>seriously damage our schedule. Furthermore, members who fail to
>return an appropriate ballot are in danger of losing their
>membership ("Membership shall be lost if two consecutive, or two of
>any three consecutive, Working Group Letter Ballots for which the
>member was eligible are not returned or are returned with an
>abstention other than for 'lack of technical expertise.'").
>
>I urge you to take action. You may cast a ballot now and still
>submit additional comments before the deadline. I also encourage
>everyone interested in the progress of this draft (not only those in
>leadership positions) to encourage their colleagues to participate.
>
>The full instructions are in
><http://ieee802.org/16/docs/01/80216-01_63.pdf>. Note also:
>
>*To submit a ballot with no comments, you may reply to this note
>with one of the following messages:
>- Approve with no comments
>- Abstain for Lack of Technical Expertise
>- Abstain for Lack of Time (This last choice does not fulfill your
>voting obligation. However, it does count toward meeting our return
>rate. If you are no longer interested in IEEE 802.16, you might
>consider this option).
>
>*Commentary asks you to save your ballot file with the extension
>".fp5". However, ".USR" will work as well.
>
>*As noted in Commentary, ballot files must be submitted to
>"stds-802-16-ballot@ieee.org".
>
>The ballot remains open as long as it is 4 January 2002 anywhere in
>the world. This gives many of you until Saturday morning to submit
>your ballot. I look forward to hearing from you.
