Re: [802SEC] EC Motion to allow ITU Staff to Attend the White Space Standardization in IEEE 802 Show and Tell Meeting

[Michael Lynch <MJLynch@MJLALLC.COM>]

Apurva,

 

A question for clarification.

 

Based on the status of the IEEE membership under the terms of the ITU Constitution and Conventions (CS & CV) all of our non-executive meetings held there are open (and no charges are allowed) to ITU staff and members. That topic came up several times during the process of setting up this Plenary session at the ITU facilities in Genève..

 

So my question is why are we having a special motion to open up this particular session on White Spaces to the ITU staff and members and at no charge when they are exempt from charges in the first place? As I understand it all those with an interest are allowed to attend our meetings if they happen to be in Genève that week and have the desire to do so. Again, that is quite clear according to the ITU CS & CV.

 

On the other hand could you be wanting the EC to extend a special invitation to the ITU staff and members to attend this particular presentation?

 

If it is this first case I do not think that this motion is needed. If the second then yes, this is something that the EC could consider.

 

As regards the ITU-R WP5A Seminar in Genève on 18^th November free attendance at that event should be able to be arranged by registering for the WP5A meeting through the IEEE SA Designated Focal Point (DFP).

 

Glad to discuss.

 

Best regards,

 

Mike
