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.
