Dear IEEE 802.16 Working Group: I am resigning as Vice Chair of the IEEE 802.16
Working Group, effective at the end of the 802 Plenary on Friday 21 July 2006. I am resigning due to the fact that the Working
Group Chair and I are currently both employed by NextWave Broadband. In
principle, we all participate in IEEE as individuals, and I hope that nothing
in my three years as Vice Chair would give members any cause for concern.
On the other hand, we all work for companies or organizations, and having both
the Chair and Vice Chair employed by the same company might be perceived as
inappropriate. In order to avoid creating the perception that NextWave is
playing too strong of a role in the Working Group, I believe it would be best
for me to step down. I have been honored to serve as Vice Chair. I will
continue to support the activities of 802.16 and will support the Working
Group's choice of a new Vice Chair. Best Regards, Ken Stanwood |
