Re: [RPRWG] From the Vice Chair
Let me add one requirement to Mike's list for 802.17 Vice Chair
qualifications. The Vice Chair must have support from their company to take
on this obligation. If you are seeking the office, either come to the
meeting with a letter of commitment fro appropriate management within your
company, or line up a company official that will be able to get such a
letter to you prior to the Friday SEC meeting, if you are elected at the
closing 802.17 plenary session.
Best regards,
