RE: IEEE 802 Rules Change Ballot--opens Jan 10 2001, closes March 9 2001
Need to be a little careful. In reality, we cannot block an individual from
attending a WG meeting for any reason (due to ANSI openness). However, I
think the wording below is fine, since it only talks on the positive (Open
to Anyone), rather than specifically stating that we would deny someone
access for any reason.

Paul -
One minor niggle:
Change
"5.1.3.5 Meetings and Participation
Working Group meetings are open to anyone who is registered. ...."
To:
"5.1.3.5 Meetings and Participation
Working Group meetings are open to anyone who has complied with the
registration requirements (if any) for the meeting. ...."
Rationale:
- Proposed text doesn't specify what the "anyone" needs to be registered
for.
- Some WG meetings (notably interims) do not have registration.
I will approve subject to this modification.
Regards,
Tony
