Re: [STDS-802-24] IEEE 802.24 Letter ballot #01 begins today

An excellent question.  The 802.24 TAG, by agreement with the 802 EC, 
meets officially only during the Plenaries.  The January meeting was an 
interim and hence it was an ad-hoc meeting during which we did work, but 
for which the decisions would need to be ratified.

Hence, I will be processing letter ballots for the key decisions we made 
during the interim meeting.

Sorry, I should have explained this to the reflector.  We discussed this 
during the January Thursday PM2 session, but of course, not all of our 
membership was there to hear the discussion.

Thanks for giving me the chance to make this clarification.

As for the EC action, I am going to request approval for the documents 
to be on the consent agenda for the Monday morning meeting.  If taken 
off of the consent agenda, then it would be voted on Monday morning.

There are no deadlines with submitting this to the Standards Board.

James Gilb
Chair IEEE 802.24 TAG
