Rules for Voter List Approval for LMSC Electronic Ballots
All, per Jim's suggestion to me, I am opening up this issue to the SEC
reflector. In addition, we will discuss it at the Monday morning SEC meeting in
November. The attached notes contain some of Jim's comments and some of mine.
Let's get this subject well aired electronically so that we don't have to spend
much time on it in November.
Best regards.

Subject: RE: Request for Verification of E-Mail Addresses for 802.5w LMSC
Ballot (2nd Notice) (Document link not converted)
Jim, I strongly disagree with your point of view. Both Vic and I had in our
letters that a requirement to be on the ballot group was electronic confirmation
of their e-mail address. Someone that can't do that doesn't meet minimum
requirements to be a balloter. It is a rather small thing to ask compared to
the effort of reviewing the document.
There is a second reason to require this confirmation. Since e-mail can be
almost immediate, it gives a "last minute" check on the continued validity of
the address information which could be several months old by the time a ballot
is ready to begin
I would be happy to open up this discussion to the Exec reflector to get more
inputs, but did not want you to think that I was strong-arming you with SEC
support for my position. Again, I believe we should set aside some time to
discuss this during the Monday morning exec meeting (5 minutes max), and then
set some time during the meeting to formulate a policy, if the 5 minute
discussion does not come to a natural conclusion.
Best regards.

Bob, they already responded once, so this is a second request. While it is a
small issue, getting everyone to respond is always difficult.

Jim, its likely, but not good enough. It is a small enough requirement to
place
on people that are committed to carefully review a draft standard to ask
them to
have the courtesy to respond to an e-mail.
However, I will take this response as verification of your e-mail. You are
now
on the list on 802.5w LMSC balloters.
Best regards.

Hi there! By the way, my view is that if an EMAIL doesn't bounce it was
received.

Subject: Verification of E-Mail Addresses for 802.5w LMSC Ballot
Dear LMSC Ballot Pool Member,
Thank you for responding positively to the request to participate in voting
on
the 802.5w draft, the Errata document for 802.5:1998, and for 802.5 :1998
Amd1:1998. At the last IEEE meeting, the document title was changed from
"Errata" to "Corrigenda" to conform with IEEE requirements. This change
does
not effect the scope or contents of the document.
The final requirement for confirming you as a participant in the ballot
process
is that you respond to this e-mail to confirm the accuracy of your e-mail
address. Automatic confirmation from a "detached machine" is an acceptable
verification of your e-mail address.
Please send replies to me, at rdlove@us.ibm.com, including your name,
address,
e-mail address and phone number in the body of the note by Friday, July
30th.
If a detached machine replies for you, please follow-up on your return to
the
office with a note to me containing this requested information.
Thank you for volunteering to participate in this ballot.
Best regards.
