Re: +++ SEC BALLOT #1 ON FCC SUBMISION (WBFH)




I vote "Yes" to the SEC ballot with the following comments:

(1) We are voting on IEEE802 responding to the FCC NPRM with a specific
document.  We are *NOT* voting on the document itself.  The responses
from some of the members of the SEC seem confused on this point.  I
remind the members of the SEC that we, by our own rules, are chartered
primarily to deal with procedural issues.  (See Section 3 of our
operating rules.)  I was there when the rules were first adopted.  (One
of the founding fathers you might say.)  I can personally testify that
it was the express intention that the SEC not be a technical court.

(2) I suggest that most of the SEC is *NOT QUALIFIED* to vote on the
technical merits of the document.

(3) I certainly am part of the above majority.  My "Yes" vote is based
upon procedural considerations.
