RE: [RPRWG] [Fwd: [802SEC] +++ SEC Rules Change Letter Ballot +++ Ballot on WG electronic voting]
Hi There,
I would like to support Italo's point. Unless we are very careful, this
could prove to be a procedural nightmare. How many motions per day would we
have to vote on?
A couple of things that may be worth considering.
* What if someone is on leave and not reading email for 3 weeks.
* Use a separate reflector form motions/voting - this should be
members only (to allow the working group to discuss motions somewhat
privately). Membership of this could be restricted to voters if appropriate.
* Use email voting like a straw poll - to gauge general feeling on a
subject more formally
We want to make sure that email voting is an improvement - not a step
backward.
regards
peter

I would like to add my opinions/suggestions/questions on this issue.
I think that the voting period can never be less than 2 weeks.
Most of us are used to travel, so we cannot ensure a timely reaction to
any motion in terms of comments and/or votes.
I think that the mail announcing the voting period shall be sent as an
"high priority" (sic) mail.
This will help anybody who is flooded by a huge number of daily mails
to recognize it.
I think that the rule "if you fail to respond, or abstain (for reasons
other than lack of technical expertise) for 2 out of the last 3
ballots, you lose your voting rights" should not apply for motions
other than draft balloting.
I am not forced to come to all the meetings nor to vote to all the
motions called in a meeting, so I do not understand why I should be
forced to vot to all the electronic motions.
How do you plan to manage "message loss"?
Italo
