Re: +++ SEC Rules Change Ballot
Yesterday I suggested changing the first sentence of:
'There is a requirement for the recirculation ballot process. For
guidance on this process see Section 5.4.3.2: Resolution of comments,
objections, and negative votes in the IEEE Standards Operating
Manual.'
to:
'After comment resolution, a recirculation ballot is required.'
Bob Grow pointed out to me that a recirculation ballot is not always
required. He suggested an alternative text that I basically agree
with. However, I looked at the IEEE reference and noticed two things:
(1) The section of the 802 Rules is dealing with Working Group letter
ballots, while the cited IEEE rules deal with Sponsor Ballot. I think
what our rules are trying to say is that the letter ballot recirc
should follow the principles of the IEEE rules. {Formally, they
aren't quite applicable; for instance, they talk about obligation of
"the Sponsor".}
(2) The name of the IEEE manual isn't cited correctly in our rules.
So, I now propose this version:
'Recirculation ballots are to be handled in accordance with the
principles of Section 5.4.3.2 ("Resolution of comments, objections,
and negative votes") of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations
Manual.'
