Fwd: Re: +++ SEC Rules Change Ballot



I vote Disapprove--see comments below from my 1/7 email plus I want to ballot times to be 30days and 10days for recirc.

We need to do something.  I especially want to see the reduced times.

a)   I agree with Bob Love's comments of 11/18, namely---

I have one proposed minor change:

Change the line:

Working Group motions and votes in between 802 Plenary meetings are at the
discretion of the Working Group Chair

to

Working Group motions and votes in between Working Group (strikethrough:
802 Plenary) meetings are at the discretion of the Working Group Chair.

I don't think the intent of the sentence was to state that motions and
votes at interim Working Group meetings are at the discretion of the chair.

b)   Also, I agree with Roger's amended comments, namely---

(1)change first sentence:

"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:

'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.'


(2) I don't like the last sentence of:

"Votes at Working Group interim meetings are conducted according to normal Working Group voting procedures. Examples include but are not limited to voice votes, raise hand votes and roll call votes. A vote is carried by by a 75% approval of the sum of those members voting "Approve" and "Do Not Approve". A quorum of 50% of the Working Group voting membership is required to be in attendance at Working Group interim meetings."

It says that the meeting requires a quorum; this seems to imply that a meeting without a quorum is out of order. I suggest that the sentence read:

"The vote is not binding unless a quorum of at least 50% of the Working Group voting membership is in attendance."
