>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

>The database now has 322 records:

>>P802.16f was reviewed in IEEE-SA Sponsor Ballot, from 28 March - 27
>>April. By my approximate count, the result was:
>> 57 Approve (79%)
>> 15 Disapprove
>> 10 Abstain
>> 82 Ballots (74.5% out of 82/110)
>>
>>It seems that we may be a vote short of the 75% minimum return
>>rate. We need to await the final vote count from IEEE. However, we
>>all have a right to be annoyed (or worse) at people who join the
>>ballot group and then ignore the ballot.
