RE: [802SEC] PASS: +++ RIP FR - Exec 30 day Ballot




The FRD has now been updated with the motion that deprecated its use.  The
index page to the archived documents has also been updated to reflect the
date of the announcement of the passage of the motion as the start of the
5-year clock.

The archived document(s) is reached from the 802 home page.

Bob -

Looks great so far - the only thing missing is to add the wording of the
motion we passed to the top of the FRD document itself, so we have a record
of why the document is now obsolete.

Regards,
Tony
