Under "Operation of the Working Group," the 802 Rules say:
"Voting by Letter Ballots: The decision to submit a draft standard or
a revised standard to the Sponsor Ballot Group must be ratified by a
letter ballot. Other matters may also be decided by a letter ballot
at the discretion
of the Working Group Chair."
I have used my discretion to have this "other matter" decided by a
letter ballot.

Some members have special status. Brian Kiernan, who is the TGa
Chair, made the motion. Paul Struhsaker, the 802.16 Vice Chair,
seconded it. I consider both to be "key members."

As I said earlier, the motion would permit the WG to "carry out
Working Group business".
