[STDS-802-16] Fwd: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ Creation of Operations Manual

The 802 EC has initiated a ballot on a complicated and potential important set of changes to the 802 Policies and Procedures. The details are at:
 <http://ieee802.org/secmail/msg10533.html>.

I don't expect to personally have enough time to study all of this material as carefully as I would like. I would appreciate any assistance. If you can spare any time and energy for review, please let me know and perhaps we can find a way to share the work.

Dear EC members,

Attached you will find the ballot document for an LMSC P&P revision
ballot titled 'Creation of Operations Manual'. This ballot was approved
at the Friday March 21, 2008 EC meeting. The actual revisions to the P&P
/ OM are in the EC e-mail archive as indicated in the ballot document.
The text is identical to that presented at the meeting.  The purpose and
rationale for the ballot are as given in the attached ballot document
but relates to objections AudCom had to our P&P and a desire to address
the objections before the end of the year deadline imposed by AudCom.

There are some differences in this ballot relative to prior P&P revision
ballots.  I've allowed closer to 45 days because the changes involved
are so extensive.  I have attached a ballot response form and request
that all EC members use it to ease the task of compiling and addressing
comments.  The ballot response form that is in Excel. I recognize
different WG have different traditions about ballot response forms, and
not everyone will be pleased with my selection.  But since I will bear
the brunt of compiling the comments I ask that you please work with me
on this.

Finally I am scheduling two comment resolution teleconferences prior to
the July Plenary.  The first will be a week after the close of the
ballot, and the second will be about a month after that.  Here are the
details:

Ballot Opens: April 9, 2008
Ballot Closes: June 24, 2007 11:59 PM EDT. 

First Ballot Resolution Teleconference:  May 30th, 2008 @ 11 AM EDT
Second Ballot Resolution Teleconference:  June 27th, 2008 @ 11 AM EDT

Details on the ballot resolution teleconferences will be provided at a
later date.

WG chairs, please distribute this P&P revision ballot to your WG, and
invite them to comment through you. 

Thanks & Regards,

Mat
