Re: [802.21] Letter Ballot #1 Voting Reminder



Title:
75%, yes. And I am sure Brian will correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot remember an 802.16 Working Group Letter Ballot or Sponsor Ballot that was forwarded to the next step in the approval process with less than 96% approval. In fact, it was/is very common for 802.16 to recirculate documents several times even when approval numbers are in the 90% range already. 16f re-circulated (in WG letter ballot) three times after it already had a 93% approval rating.
 
The 802 EC and the IEEE-SA love to see these kind of approval numbers, especially with large volumes of resolved comments. It demonstrates that the relevant Working Group has given due time and careful consideration in the preparation of their standard, and gives great comfort to approving parties (IEEE 802 EC, Revcom, IEEE-SA Board) that an open and inclusive process has achieved a broad consensus document with substantial and diverse participation.

Vivek:

As far as I remember, 802.16 approvals in the letter ballot stage required 75% approval.

Srini,

The P&P rules specify 50% and that’s what we have adopted. 802.16 also specifies 50%.

We had a lengthy discussion on this in a telecon several weeks back.

Please check the minutes of the telecon as well.

However in practice, to progress to the Sponsor ballot stage we would need to be in the > 90% category.

Best Regards

Is the approval rating only 50%?  This looks quite low considering this is a standards specification...

 4.1.2 75% approval rate

[Vivek G Gupta] should actually be 50%
