Re: Another rules change proposal
Bob-
One word change. I would recommend revision to read:
"Working Group members shall be encouraged to join the Computer Society and
Standards Association of the IEEE. Working Group members shall be informed
that IEEE-SA membership is required if they wish to particpate in a Sponsor
Ballot group. Working Group members shall participate in the consensus
process in a manner consistent with their professional expert opinion as
individuals, and not as organizational representatives."
The text probably needs to be further modified since the IEEE now allows
both individual and organizational balloting. Fortunately 802 has no
current plans to open any PARs under the latter.
