Hi George, There is no financial obligation, and as IEEE SA is taking on the lead exhibitor role (and thus IEEE 802.1 is not), there is no obligation for IEEE 802. “Lead exhibitor” was the term arrived at between IEEE SA staff (legal), 802.1 leadership and the conference organisers as a term emphasising seniority while avoiding terms such as “sponsor” which are not permissible or applicable. All
is being done in concert with IEEE SA staff. Regards, -- John From: George Zimmerman <george@cmephyconsulting.com> John – forgive me if this is a usual request, but I’m a little confused and the conference is next week. Help me understand this. IEEE SA is the lead exhibitor. IEEE 802.1 doesn’t have direct responsibility.
What exactly then does it mean for IEEE 802.1 to be “a” lead exhibitor, if IEEE SA is already “the” lead exhibitor? I’m not trying to be academic, but I want to understand any obligations, financial or otherwise, IEEE 802 may be taking on, and whether we are putting ourselves at odds with IEEE SA. -george From: ***** IEEE 802 Executive Committee List ***** <STDS-802-SEC@ieee.org>
On Behalf Of John Messenger Dear EC members, Based on the following ePoll taken by IEEE 802.1, I would like to seek EC support for this activity. 802.1 electronic motion: “Approve IEEE 802.1 to be a Lead Exhibitor at the TSN/A Conference 2018 providing booth space is made available. The event is scheduled to occur on September 26-27, 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany.” Passed 49/0/1. After discussion with IEEE staff, as last year, IEEE SA has decided to be listed as the lead exhibitor instead of 802.1. As a result, IEEE 802.1 won’t be taking direct responsibility for participation. Nevertheless, as IEEE SA is participating
based on a request from the 802.1 chair, I would like to seek EC support for this activity. Paul has delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot on the following motion to me. To obtain support as soon as practical I'm announcing the possibility of an 'early close' to this ballot (see below). Regards, -- John Motion ====== The EC supports IEEE SA participation in the TSN/A Conference 2018. Move: John Messenger Second: David Law Start of ballot: Friday 21st September 2018 Close of ballot: Monday 1st October 2018, 11:59PM AOE Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting rules' of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations Manual, this is notice that, to ensure the release is provided in a timely manner, this ballot may close early once
sufficient responses are received to clearly decide a matter. Sufficient responses to clearly decide this matter will be based on the required majority for a motion under subclause 7.1.1 'Actions requiring approval by a majority vote' item (h), 'Other motions
brought to the floor by members (when deemed in order by the Sponsor Chair)' of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Policies and Procedures. -- John Messenger Director, Global Standards ADVA Optical Networking Ltd ADVAntage Houe, Tribune Way, York YO30 4TN, UK To unsubscribe from the STDS-802-SEC list, click the following link:
