[STDS-802-16] +++ 10-day EC Email Ballot: P802.16m to Sponsor Ballot (conditional) +++

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

To: 802 EC

cc: 802.16 Reflector

Colleagues,

Paul has authorized me to issue the following motion for your consideration. 

Motion: To grant conditional approval, per the IEEE 802 Operations Manual, to forward P802.16m for Sponsor Ballot.

Moved:    Roger Marks
Seconded: Subir Das

Start of ballot: Friday 14 May 2010, 10:00 ET
Close of ballot: Monday 24 May 2010, 12:00 ET 

Early close: Not requested.

Information:

(1) I have provided all the supporting material in document IEEE 802.16-10/0037r1 <http://ieee802.org/16/docs/#10_0037>. The summary results from WG Letter Ballot are as follows:
Approve: 291 (98.3%)
Disapprove with comments: 5
Abstain: 5

(2) I know that many of you are busy with interim sessions this week, and I'm sorry to bother you with this. However, I am fully confident that conditional approval is justified, and we have a window of opportunity to run Sponsor Ballot prior to the July Plenary.

(3) Please recall that I notified the EC at our last meeting (19 March) of my intent to bring this 10-day ballot. We agreed that it would be OK to proceed with it.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Roger
