END PASTE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Issue: That some 802 working groups regularly schedules meetings on top of the tutorial slots.
Issue: tutorial and CFI at Kauai had double booking in 3 of 4 slots.
Based on current guidelines it appears that conflicting meetings / tutorial are allowed (though perhaps discourage).
Motion: Move to make Tuesday evening tutorial slots from 8-9:30 exclusive of all other 802 meetings. (Paul / Mat)
4 yes, 0 no, no abstains
Clarifications: Exclusive means no other meetings or tutorials will run during slot. The SEC may schedule additional exclusive tutorials should they be needed.
Issue: Formation of a new working group based on CFI requires attention across 802. Need to guarantee availability of 802 participants.
Motion: A CFI relating to the formation of a (potentially) ECSG has rights to an exclusive Tutorial slot. (Geoff / Mat)
4 yes, 0 no, no abstains
Clarification: A potential ECSG is any study group formation activity that any SEC member believes may be pushed into and ECSG.
Clarification: Call for Interest (CFI) is a meeting who's sole purpose is to determine the interest and support in forming a study group and to formulate presentation to the next higher body for doing so.
Clarification: The chair's cutoff date for holding Tutorial Slots open for 802 use is 21 days before the opening plenary.
It is recommended that the Chair's Guidelines be adjusted as indicated in these minutes.
9 AM: Meeting adjourned.
