Title: Message
Geoff,
Do you
have the actual text of the change adopted by the BoD? The wording on ML's
slide is very bad. It says that a majority of voting members is required
for approval, rather than "a majority of members voting". That word
reversal can make an enormous difference.

FROM SLIDE 3 OF THE
ATTACHED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
VOTING
RULES
BoD approved changes to IEEE Bylaws that address concerns about how
abstention votes are treated and about email voting
Changes apply to
Standards Board and all other subsidiary committees
Abstentions do not count
in total of votes cast
Only approval by a majority of voting members
needed to approve actions taken by email vote
Most of the changes do not
apply to BOG, since BoD determined that Major Boards must follow BoD
rules
Abstentions still have the effect of a no vote in BOG votes
BOG
email votes must gain unanimous
consent
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that
this contrary to the procedure of the SEC
I do not think that changing to
adhere to this would be an improvement.
That is, I firmly believe that
failure to respond on an SEC mail vote should continue to be counted as a
disapprove.

Hi
all:
I also plan to give a "report card" on the work Mary Lynne, Dave
Ringle, and
I did in 2003 on changes to the Operations Manual; it also
previews 2004
activity and asks for any other changes that you think should
be considered.
This will be at the start of agenda item 5.1 on the BoG
agenda to lead us
into those 8 motions to approve Ops Manual changes in
agenda items 5.1.1
through 5.1.8.
See you
soon.
