At Session #78 <http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg78>, the IEEE 802.16 Working Group will hold elections for Chair and Vice Chair. Here are the details.

According to the IEEE 802 Working Group Policies and Procedures, the "term for all WG officers ends at the close of the first plenary session of each even numbered year."

As stated in the IEEE 802.16 Working Group Officer Election Process, "Candidates are encouraged to declare their candidacy, in a Working Group meeting or via the Working Group email reflector, as soon as possible before the election. The names of those eligible who declare their candidacy at least eight days before the scheduled election shall be included on the paper ballot."

Per the procedures, these elections will be on the agenda for the Session #78 Opening Plenary meeting, which is scheduled for the afternoon of Monday 12 March 2012.

According to the IEEE 802 Working Group Policies and Procedures, the Chair and Vice Chair elections are subject to IEEE 802 EC confirmation. IEEE 802 has policies on endorsement and affiliation letters in conjunction with confirmation. 802 EC Recording Secretary James Gilb has kindly provided guidance on this topic.

Regards,

Roger
