[802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meeting registration

Dear Colleagues,

This is the announcement of registration to vote at IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meetings.

With the cancellation of the March 2020 IEEE 802 plenary meeting, the IEEE 802.3 Working Group agreed to suspend two requirements in the IEEE 802.3 Operations Manual that permitted IEEE 802.3 Study Groups and Task Forces to hold telephonic interim meetings to consider motions. Subclause 3.4.2 'Voting' with respect to IEEE 802.3 Task Force telephonic interim meetings includes the requirement 'In such meetings only IEEE 802.3 Working Group members may make and vote on motions. If a motion is not approved by unanimous consent it shall be taken as a roll call vote.'.

With respect to IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meetings, subclause 4.4 'Study Group Operation' states that 'Study groups follow the operating procedures for Task Forces specified above with the following exceptions.', subclause 4.4.1 'Voting at Study Group Meetings' states 'Any person attending a Study Group meeting may participate in SG discussions, make motions and vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR and five criteria) if the person feels qualified to do so.'.

As a result I want to clarify that any person attending an IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meeting may vote, however the requirement to conduct a roll call vote if a motion is not approved by unanimous consent stands. Due to the latter, and the ability for anybody attending an IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meeting to vote, I'm announcing that IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meetings will include registration to attend that will close twenty-four hours before the meeting start time. This will enable the IEEE 802.3 Study Group Chair to build a roll in preparation for possible roll call votes during the interim.

Details on how to register for an IEEE 802.3 Study Group telephonic interim meeting will be announced by the IEEE 802.3 Study Group Chair. 

Best regards,
  David
