Dorothy – Thank you for bringing this to the reflector that I can see it. I am concerned about this as Treasurer. I am sympathetic to the aims, but it would create a significant loophole in our fee structures. The current rules state that a member of the LMSC needs to certify the student – not really sure what that means. However, they also define a student rather loosely, where a number of employed individuals that I have known (including myself when I was in grad school and working) would qualify as a student and regular attendees would be able to attend
continually as students, specifically: “A student is defined as currently taking at least 50% of a normal full-time academic program in an IEEE designated field of interest for the current academic year.” The academic load isn’t really the discriminator here – it is the affiliation support. I have known a number of individuals taking 80% or even 100% academic loads while working
30+ hours/week, and even classified full time. Allowing affiliations to send people at a student rate isn’t what we are after here. To give the ‘certifying LMSC member’ a better guideline to stand on, I think we need something tied to support. Not sure, exactly of the wording, but the gist would be to add the condition that the individual’s attendance (including travel, etc.) is not supported outside of the claimed academic affiliation. -george From: ***** IEEE 802 Executive Committee List ***** <STDS-802-SEC@listserv.ieee.org>

Dear James and EC members, I request that the following topic be added to the 802 Rules Committee meeting agenda for the upcoming 2022 November Plenary:
Removal of Student registration restriction. Please see the discussion below; let me know of any comments or questions. Thanks, Dorothy ============================== Removal of Student registration restriction Currently, student registration is supported for one time attendance only. See 4.2 in
https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/17/ec-17-0120-33-0PNP-ieee-802-lmsc-chairs-guidelines.pdf . I propose modification of the current rules as shown below: 3) The student discount is based upon: f) Students will not be included in the Membership Data Base for future meeting Background/rationale: - Have had a handful of students attending WG11 during the low-fee ($50) electronic-only period. One student contributed submissions.
