FW: [802SEC] Sponsor Ballot periods--temporary policy on minimum duration
Dear SEC Members,
Based on the feedback received on the suggested policy on minimum
duration
of Sponosr Ballot periods of yesterday (Thurs Feb 6 2003), the
following
temporary policy will be observed.
The minimum duration of Sponsor Initial and Recirculation Ballot periods
are
ambiguous. Henceforth, as a matter of temporary policy, the IEEE 802
LAN/MAN Standards Committee shall observe the following practice with
regard
to Sponsor Ballot periods:
1) the duration of a Sponsor Initial Ballot shall be greater than or
equal
to 30days*24hours in duration and
2) that the duration of a Sponsor Recirculation Ballot shall be greater
than
or equal to 15days*24hours
3) the LMSC Chair reserves the right to modify the above durations on a
case
by case basis depending on circumstances.
This temporary policy would is in effect until the LMSC Operating Rules
can
formally modified to remove the ambiguity in the duration of Sponsor
Initial
and Recirculation Ballots.
Regards,
--Paul Nikolich
Chairman, IEEE 802
