Please note the following. I suggest individuals comment as warranted and
that we (possibly Geoff would do this) formulate a position at the 802SEC
meeting in Tampa.

Subject: Balloting Feedback Request
Dear Standards Developer:
A motion was unanimously approved at the 21 September IEEE-SA Standards
Board meeting to address two important issues regarding balloting. The
motion that was approved would:
1) encourage all IEEE balloting groups to utilize the IEEE balloting
center, and
2) move toward the exclusive use of electronic balloting
To date, there have been more than 30 successful electronic ballots
conducted by the IEEE balloting center. The service provided is
convenient, reliable and valid, and saves both time and money.
Invitations to ballot are still done by mail, and this step will be the
next piece of the process to be "electronicized".
Today, approximately 99% of all ballots conducted are administered by the
IEEE balloting center. Based upon the IEEE Balloting Center's excellent
service and their commitment to expediency, the IEEE balloting staff would
like ALL balloting groups to come under the IEEE balloting center umbrella.
A "chat area" has been set up on the web for the purpose of stating your
views and opinions on the two issues stated above.
