MOTION
Because of the possible confusion in what has been said and promised (19
messages) , I will take a motion (also to make sure the SEC knows
specifically what we are agreeing to and I can count the votes.

Jim, By your numbers:
1.) The Sacramento meeting is two weeks after the Orlando meeting (so Dawn
could easily do both).
May 27 - June 1, 2001 vs. May 13-18, 2001
2.) Geoff is out of town for 2 weeks. Steve Carlson says Geoff would leave
it up to his SubGroup chairs anyway, so Steve is running a poll of the 802.3
SGCs to see what is most preferred. He has contacted everyone but Jonathan
Thatcher and he should have that soon.
3.) We have already passed a motion in Tampa to do this meeting. So I
don't think we need another email ballot. I'm just checking preferences to
make sure we book the right thing, as far as our attendees are concerned.
So far we have Option #2 by a landslide (except for Bob Grow who wants #1 or
#3 only) with most folks agreeing that if 802.3 actually wants to come to
Orlando that Option #1 is OK too. Howard has indicated that he thinks that
802.1 and 802.17 would also want to meet in Sacramento along with 802.3. We
would need to get definite agreement from the host that they would be
willing to accommodate this, and have the 802.1 and 802.17 WG chairs
request this specific arrangement, but I have no problem with it in general.
It would give us two nearly identically-sized meetings, which would make for
a pretty fair comparison all things considered.
I hope this gets you up to speed on where we are. I need to sign the
contract tonight if at all possible.
Thanx, Buzz

your Task Force and Study Group chairs.
