[STDS-802-16] P802.16f/D3 Sponsor Ballot now closed
The P802.16f/D3 Sponsor Ballot has now closed. The official result was:
60 Approve (80%)
16 Disapprove
7 Abstain
83 Ballots (75.5% of the 110 members)
IEEE counts the approval ratio as 80% (60/75). They count only 15 of
the 16 Disapprove votes, because one of the Disapprove voters (Mike
Geipel) submitted no comments. This is unfortunate, because he
informed us after the first ballot closing that he had missed the
deadline. When the ballot was extended, he voted Disapprove but did
not submit comments, formally or informally. Perhaps he will upload
the comments later, but it seems that we won't have time to review
them.
The database now has 322 records:
<http://ieee802.org/16/docs/05/80216-05_022r1.zip>
with the addition of one new one from Mark Cudak received during the
ballot extension. Also, 16 comments have been voided; these were
intended for the 802.16e ballot and included by mistake in the first
version.
The Call for Reply Comments remains open, per the instructions below.
