RE: stds-802-16: ***IEEE 802.16 Working Group Letter Ballot #5:Announcement
Thanks for the clarification, although I would personally have hoped that a
Letter Ballot which could affect a member's status should only be initiated
after discussion and approval by the WG at a duly constituted meeting - or
at least approved on a contingency basis. Can you please specify which (or
how many) "key members" of the WG you discussed this with. I thought that
all members were equal (but some might be more equal than others ...)
I would still prefer to amend the motion on the letter ballot as proposed
(presumably as a friendly amendment) but I am willing to seek a seconder if
necessary. I believe that we should NOT be pre-supposing (or pre-judging)
the outcome of the meeting.

Yes, because it's a Working Group Letter Ballot.

The motion would permit the WG to "carry out Working Group business".
This would allow courses of action outside the particular ones cited.
I think it covers the contingencies.
