Re: Rules Change Ballot; Addition of Scope Statement
Re: "promote"
Does that mean that we are doing a change of direction and, in addition
to our current tasks, taking on the marketing task that has been done in
the past (for 802.3 at least) by supporting alliances?

Dear SEC,
At the July 2000 plenary the 802 Sponsor Executive Committee (SEC) agreed
to initiate a rules change ballot to add a scope statement to our
operating rules.
The scope statement:
"The scope of IEEE LMSC is to develop, maintain, enable and promote,
on a global basis, accredited networking standards and recommended
practices"
would be added as a separate paragraph to the end of section 1 Overview.
The official SEC ballot period will open on August 8, 2000 5pm EDT and
close on October 6, 2000 5pm EDT.
As a member of IEEE Project 802 you are encouraged to carefully review
the proposed rule changes and ask questions of, or forward any comments
to me or any other representative on the LMSC SEC well before the closure
of the SEC ballot. SEC members will carefully consider your comments and
suggestions as part of the balloting process.
