Paul, I also thought I had voted APPROVE
on this ballot, but it could have got lost in the reflector schmaze.

BALLOT+++ Updated Ballot Result: PASS-- Motion for WG Initial membership
interpretation
I have been notified that I did
in fact not record votes. Bob Heile Voted APPROVE and Stuart
Kerry Voted APPROVE before the close of ballot. These two
approves change the result to PASS from FAIL. (To the remaining DNV
voters--please either call or email me if I did not record your vote
correctly). Mat, since the ballot PASSED, there is no need for a revised
motion.
Given the ballot PASSED, the
interpretation of the membership rules shall be followed
as defined in the motion:
"Motion that until the P&P
revision titled "WG membership" being balloted starting March 27th,
2003 is completed (estimated to occur at the end of the July 2003 IEEE 802
Plenary meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section 5.1.3.2 titled
"Retention" reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four
Plenary session meetings.’
Should be interpreted as reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four
Plenary sessions. (An individual who attains membership by participation and
attendance at the first meeting of a new Working Group is assumed to have the
right to retain that membership by the granting of credit for 'full virtual
attendance' at the plenary session that would be immediately previous to the
first working group plenary session.)’”

EMAIL BALLOT+++ Ballot Result: FAIL-- Motion for WG Initial membership
interpretation
Dear SEC members,
The ballot closed as of 9PM April 29, 2003. The ballot
result is FAIL. However, there are many DNVs (did not votes)--5-- in this
email ballot, which makes me concerned I might have missed counting
votes. If I mistakenly did not count your vote, please notify me
immediately.
Mat, Geoff, given this
interpretation failed, please review the comments on the ballots and
consider submitting a new motion to resolve the DISS/DNVs.
Regards,
--Paul Nikolich

Subject: Motion for
WG Initial membership interpretation
Paul,
I wish to formally make a motion
concerning the interpretation of the current initial membership rules.
The motion I would like to make is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Motion that until the P&P
revision titled "WG membership" being balloted starting March 27th,
2003 is completed (estimated to occur at the end of the July 2003 IEEE 802
Plenary meeting) the line in the LMSC P&P section 5.1.3.2 titled
"Retention" reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four
Plenary session meetings.’
Should be interpreted as reading:
’Membership is retained by participating in at least two of the last four
Plenary sessions. (An individual who attains membership by participation and
attendance at the first meeting of a new Working Group is assumed to have the
right to retain that membership by the granting of credit for 'full virtual
attendance' at the plenary session that would be immediately previous to the
first working group plenary session.)’”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geoff Thompson helped develop this
motion, and has agreed to second it. Note that based on recent
discussions it is somewhat different than the motion I said I would first make
on the reflector. This motion maximally protects the voting rights of
initial members by ensuring retention of their rights through the first 4
plenary sessions. We believe this is the motion that has the greatest
chance of success. If this fails, we may want make a second motion which
we would want to complete before the end of the upcoming wireless interim
session. Since the motion is reasonably concise we would prefer a 15 day
ballot period for this interpretation to allow time for a second round if
needed.

Mat
