stds-802-16: 802.16a Sponsor Ballot Group list
Folks,
Thanks to Angela Ortiz of IEEE, we now have a list of those in the 802.16 Sponsor Ballot Pool:
http://ieee802.org/16/members_pool.html
These people will be sent an invitation to ballot on P802.16a. [I can't guarantee they will receive the invitation; that depends on whether their email address is correct in the database. If you want to confirm your address, you can ask me and I will look it up. As a privacy measure, I don't post lists of email addresses.]
If you would like to receive an invitation, you have until tomorrow to join the Sponsor Ballot Pool by completing the on-line form:
<http://standards.ieee.org/db/balloting/ballotform.html>.
If you haven't signed up, I encourage you to do so.
Roger

>the draft will enter Sponsor Ballot on April 12. This second round of balloting is in the hands of a Sponsor Ballot Group that is open to the outside world. Working Group membership is not required to participate in the Sponsor Ballot Group. However, I encourage all interested parties, including Working Group members, to participate. I expect that the draft will see substantial refinement during the Sponsor Ballot phase.

>Today, I asked IEEE to prepare to form the Sponsor Ballot Group. To form it, IEEE will send an "Invitation to Ballot" to the members of the 802.16 "Balloting Pool".
>
>If you have previously signed up to join the 802.16 Balloting Pool (e.g., if you received an Invitation to Ballot on IEEE 802.16), then you need do nothing at this time.
>
>If you are not a member of the 802.16 Balloting Pool, you join the Pool by completing the on-line form:
> <http://standards.ieee.org/db/balloting/ballotform.html>.
>You may join other IEEE Balloting Pools with the same form.
>
>If you are not an IEEE Member, just ignore the box requesting your IEEE Membership Number. However, in order to actually participate in a Sponsor Ballot Group, you must be a Member of the IEEE-SA or else pay a Balloting Fee.
>
>If you plan to join the Balloting Pool, I suggest you act soon. I have asked IEEE not to finalize the invitation until after the end of this week.

>Regards,
