Dear EC members,
This is an EC
email ballot to make a determination on the below EC motion regarding a
request to the IEEE SA BoG for improving IEEE SA Corporate Advisory
Group procedures.
This is an urgent matter, as the IEEE SA BoG
is meeting the morning of Feb 27 to discuss the matter and I want to
have an EC decision completed before then. I will be present at the
BoG meeting.
Since this is an urgent matter and the topic
has been available for review and comment on the EC reflector since Feb 11
(see http://www.ieee802.org/secmail/msg04887.html for
background material), I am setting the duration of the ballot to close the
earlier of 9PM EST Feb 25th (6 days) or within 24 hours after every
member of the EC has cast a definitive vote (approve, disapprove or
abstain).
Please direct your responses to the EC
reflector with a CC directly to me (p.nikolich@ieee.org).
Regards,
-
Paul Nikolich

The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards committee (LMSC) requests the
IEEE-SA Board of Governors take action to protect the value of IEEE-SA as a
standards development organization by requiring proper IEEE-SA, Corporate
Advisory Group (CAG) and working group procedures that:
1. allow CAG
standards sponsorship for truly new standards activities that are outside the
scope of existing working groups;
2. allow CAG standards sponsorship
for new standards that are not effectively amendments to existing standards or
projects of active working groups;
3. recognize that working groups
must make selections between technical alternatives, and prevent the CAG from
becoming a mechanism that can be used for undermining the decision making
process of working groups by sponsoring competing projects to standards and
projects of those working groups;
4. discriminate between disinterest
in a proposed standards project and recognize an established working group's
position that a proposed standards project is within its area of work and that
the proposed project should not be
approved.
