Re: [802SEC] straw poll: working practice for voting status



Adrian,

The 802.16 WG procedure is aligned with (A). The 802.16 state machine includes fewer states: there are Members
, and there are Nonmembers (some of whom are Potential Members). Specifically:

LOSING MEMBERSHIP: "Following each 802.16 LMSC Plenary Session, membership is retained only by those who have participated in at least two recent 802.16 Sessions, one of which was an 802.16 LMSC Plenary Session."

GAINING MEMBERSHIP: "Membership is granted at each 802.16 LMSC Plenary Session to the Potential Members who are registered and in attendance."

The following definitions are applied:

*"A Potential Member is a nonmember who has participated in at least two recent 802.16 Sessions, one of which was an 802.16 LMSC Plenary Session."
 

*"A recent 802.16 Session is one of the four most recent 802.16 LMSC Plenary Sessions or another 802.16 Session that took place since the first of those."

See <http://ieee802.org/16/membership.html> for more details.

Dear EC members,

 

In an effort to help Adrian collect the information he's looking for on the current working practice for 802 groups I am conducting a straw poll as defined below.  Adrian, I delegate the data collection and result report of this straw poll to you.  Thank you.

 

Regards,

 

--Paul

 

 

The purpose of this poll is to determine current working practice for 802 working groups and TAGs.

Eligible to respond:   the chairs of all non-hibernating 802 working groups and TAGs or their designee

Duration of poll: 10 days.   If all response are received before then,  the poll will be closed early.

 

Definitions:

1.       Loss of voting status on non-attendance means that the member fails to attend 2 of the last 4 plenaries,  one of which may be substituted by an interim.

2.       “Soft landing” means that the member keeps their previous attendances.  This results in the member transition to aspirant or observer status depending on whether they have a previous attendance in the last 4 plenaries (modulo interim substitution rule).

3.       “Hard landing” means that the member loses credit for their previous attendances.   They necessarily return to observer status.

 

Poll:   Does your working group operate “soft landing” or “hard landing” rules for loss of voting status based on non-attendance.

                A: “Soft Landing”

                B: “Hard Landing”

                C: “Something else not covered by these definitions”
