Dear EC members,
This weekend Clint and I worked on a response to the draft resolution
and sent to the SASB Chair and Treasurer for review and acceptance, it
is the [bracketed highlighted text] in the attached document. I will
place an item on the opening EC agenda for discussion of the issue at
the upcoming 802 plenary session. My preference is not to have an
executive session. However if one is required, I suggest we reserve
the last 15 minutes of the opening EC meeting for it, with the
understanding we may need to go a little past (later than 10:15) the
10AM scheduled end-of-meeting time, depending on how quickly we make
it through the earlier agenda items.
Regards,
--Paul

Subject: [802SEC] Resolution from IEEE-SA Standards Board re financial
reporting
Dear EC members,
The SASB met this week and produced a resolution as shown below, on
the failure of the LMSC to provide its
financial reports in a timely manner. 802 EC members were excluded
from the meeting that approved this resolution,
although we (Paul, Clint, Steve, Jon, Andrew, …) were present for
some of the discussion, up to the point where they
realized they should deem us conflicted.
I believe being cited by the SASB as failing in our duty warrants an
agenda item in the EC to discuss corrective actions,
and this item may need to be held in executive session. I therefore
ask for such an item to go on the agenda at some time
during the week.
The resolution is at:
<http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/resolutions.html>http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/resolutions.html
and states:
IEEE-SA STANDARDS BOARD RESOLUTIONS
11 June 2015
Resolved that,
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) has failed in its
duty as a Sponsor to complete the 2014 LMSC annual financial report
in a timely manner. Therefore, the following corrective actions are
approved by the SASB:
1. IEEE-SA staff is instructed to set up requested departments in
NetSuite and to keep the NetSuite database unlocked until Wednesday,
17 June 2015.
2. The LMSC Chair and the LMSC Treasurer shall complete the 2014
LMSC annual financial report and certify that the reported financial
data is materially correct on or before Wednesday, 17 June 2015. All
audit material shall be made available to the auditors by 30 June 2015.
3. The LMSC Chair and the LMSC Treasurer are instructed to
provide a plan to meet the schedule shown in item 4. This plan shall
be submitted by 30 June 2015 and shall be acceptable to IEEE-SA staff
and IEEE-SA Treasurer.
4. After completing the 2014 LMSC financial reporting as outlined
in item 2 above, the 2015 LMSC financial data shall be entered in
NetSuite with the following timeline:
o For Q1 and Q2 2015, the financial data of LMSC shall be
submitted through NetSuite by 31 July 2015 and 31 August 2015
respectively;
o For Q3 2015, the financial data of LMSC shall be submitted
through NetSuite by 15 November 2015;
o For Q4 2015, the financial data of LMSC shall be submitted
through NetSuite by 15 February 2016.
o Complete certified 2015 financial data for LMSC shall be
available in NetSuite no later than 15 February 2016.
5. If the SASB determines that the LMSC Chair and the LMSC
Treasurer have failed to satisfactorily execute their duties for the
2014 and/or 2015 LMSC annual financial reporting per the schedule
outlined above, the SASB reserves the right to pursue any and all
additional actions that it deems necessary to bring the LMSC annual
financial reporting into compliance with its operating procedures.
Such actions may include removal of specific LMSC Officers and/or
suspension of all LMSC Sponsor activities (potentially including, but
not limited to, new and modified PAR approvals, Sponsor balloting,
approval of standards, meetings, etc.) as described in IEEE-SA
Standards Board Operations Manual 5.3.6.

Adrian P STEPHENS
