> Issue Date: 19Feb2001 Closing Date: 29Feb2001
> Moved By: Roger Marks
> MOTION: To forward IEEE Draft 802.16.2/D2-2001 ("Recommended Practice

> Notes: From Roger Marks
> Here is an explanation:
> (1) The Working Group Letter Ballot results are clean. 802.16's
> Letter Ballot #2, ("To approve Document IEEE 802.16.2/D1-2000 and
> forward it for Sponsor Ballot") ran from 11-17 to 12-27-2000. The results were:
> Approve: 69 Disapprove: 4 Approval Ratio: 94.5% [75% required]
> Abstain: 10 Members: 134 Return Ratio: 61.9% [50% required]
> Comments: 147
> Following the 10-day Recirculation Ballot #2a of the resolutions
> developed by the editorial committee, the vote status was:
> Approve: 70 Disapprove: 3 Approval Ratio: 95.9% [75% required]
> Abstain: 10 Members: 134 Return Ratio: 61.9% [50% required]
> Comments: 23
> Following comment resolution at 802.16's January interim, all three
> of the negatives voters agreed to vote Approve. Therefore, there were
> no negative comments to include in the following 10-day Recirculation
> Ballot #2b. The recirc referred only to the set of comment
> resolutions, an updated draft (802.16.2/D2-2001), and a marked-up
> draft showing the changes between D2 and D1. Recirc #2b stated the
> motion as follows: "To approve the proposed resolutions (as
> represented in Document IEEE 802.16-01/06) of comments received in
> 802.16 Recirculation Ballot #2a, and to forward, for Sponsor Ballot,
> the resulting Draft Standard (IEEE 802.16.2/D2-2001". Only three
> votes were received in this final recirc; these were votes of
> "Approve without comments" received from the three voters who were
> negative following Recirc #2a. Therefore, ballot is declared closed
> and final. The final vote tally is:
> Approve: 73 Disapprove: 0 Approval Ratio: 100% [75% required]
> Abstain: 10 Members: 134 Return Ratio: 61.9% [50% required]
> In summary, the document we want to send for Sponsor Ballot is
> identical to the one that completed Recirc #2a with 100% approval and
> no new comments.
> At our January interim, following a presentation of the comment
> resolution results, 802.16 unanimously passed a motion "To initiate
> Sponsor Ballot of IEEE 802.16.2/D1-2000, subject to successful
> completion of final recirculation ballot."
