Dear EC members,
During a joint 802.1/802.11 session Thursday morning we discussed the fact that 1905.1 has a revision PAR
on the December NesCom agenda and agreed that we should become involved in the
project as soon as possible. The joint session unanimously approved the following motion.
Moved, that the Chair of IEEE 802 requests a liaison be established with IEEE 1905.1a.
Both Tony and I forgot to place the item on the closing EC agenda.
To remedy the situation, Paul has authorized me to conduct a 10 day eballot on the motion below.
A draft of the liaison letter is included below the motion.

bi-directional liaison with the P1905.1 WG to allow an exchange of
drafts as needed. In particular, 802 will share requested drafts with 1905.1 for
voluntary review and comment and 1905.1 will share requested drafts and
supporting material (pre and post draft development) regarding the 1905.1a
project with 802.1/802.11 for review and comment.
We request that you express your willingness to
pursue the liaison not later than 01FEB2014 . We also request that
the liaison be established to allow information exchange by March

liaison representative.
Please share this request within your group and let me

Thank you for your prompt attention on this matter.

4.1.2 Voting rules
All EC approvals on motions to progress or establish a project or study group require explicit
vote counts (Yes/No/Abstain) to be reported by the originating subgroup.
At times, it may become necessary for the Sponsor to render a decision that cannot be made prior
to the close of one plenary but must be made prior to the opening of the following plenary. Such
decisions may be made using electronic balloting. Provision shall be made for the IEEE 802
LMSC membership to observe and comment on Sponsor electronic ballots. All comments from
those who are not members of the Sponsor shall be considered. Commenters who are not
members of the Sponsor are urged to seek a Voting Member of the Sponsor (normally their WG
or TAG Chair) to include the viewpoint of the commenter in their vote.
The Sponsor Chair, or a Sponsor member designated by the Sponsor Chair (usually a Vice
Chair), shall determine the duration of the ballot, issue the ballot by e-mail and tally the votes
after the ballot is closed. Sponsor Voting Members shall return their vote and comments by
e-mail.
The minimum duration of an electronic ballot shall be 10 days1. For urgent matters once
sufficient response is received to clearly decide a matter, the ballot may be closed early. This
allows a decision to be reach in less than 10 days. Ballots where the possibility of an early close
exists must be clearly marked accordingly. Otherwise, the tally of votes shall not be made until at
least 24 hours after the close of the ballot to allow time for delivery of the e-mail votes.
