RE: IEEE 802 Rules Change Ballot--opens Jan 10 2001, closes March 9 2001
Jim-
I would say that Observers and Liaisons have the right to "Enter Comments"
on ballots rather than vote.
This is presumably only at the Working Group Ballot level as it might
conflict with the ANSI requirement regarding the right to vote DISAPPROVE
WITHOUT COMMENT at the Sponsor level.
