Re: [802SEC] straw poll--is it time to abolish the non-conflicted EC?
One further note,
If I were an 802.20 member or worked at a company with an interest in
802.20 where I actively participated in the technology, I probably would
recuse myself on 802.16 matters....

Pat,
Your assumption is correct--I want all members of the EC to provide
their
input. I apologize for the late notice, but it just occured to me this
week--so better late than never. We are at least getting the discussion
going, regardless if we can take any action next week.
Regards,
--Paul
