Dear SEC,
This is a reminder to those who haven't cast their ballot to do so.
The ballot closes October 6. (Remember, the lack of a vote will
count as a disapprove. So far I have responses from Carlo, Jeffree
and Thompson)

Dear SEC and 802 members
At the July 2000 plenary the 802 Sponsor Executive Committee (SEC) agreed
to initiate a rules change ballot to add Procedure 10 in our operating
rules.
"Procedure 10 PROCEDURE FOR COMMUNICATION WITH GOVERNMENT BODIES
o IEEE 802 position statements
- All
communications with government bodies shall be approved by the Executive
Committee prior
to release.
- All
communications shall be sent under the signature of the LMSC Chair as the
position of IEEE 802 (stated in
the first paragraph) and shall be copied to the SEC and the IEEE SA
Standards
Board Secretary and shall be posted on the IEEE 802 web site and reviewed
after 5 years.
o Working group position statements
- All
communications with government bodies shall be approved by a majority of
the working group and shall
reviewed by the Executive Committee prior to release.
- All
communications shall be sent under the signature of the Working group
Chair(s) as the position of the
working group(s) (stated in the first paragraph) and shall include the
LMSC Chair in the communication
distribution list.
o Incoming liaison letters to Executive Committee members shall be sent,
as a minimum to the LMSC Chair.
o Informal communications are encouraged but should not imply that they
are a formal position of the IEEE 802 or of the working group
o Proposed position statements that need to be authored by other IEEE
entities shall be approved by the SEC and forwarded to the IEEE SA
Standards Board Secretary for further processing."
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.
