Geoff, I think in this context that Bill
is referring to 802-hosted interim meetings (such as the January 802.3/.1
meeting). In this case the Treasurer does collect the fees on behalf of IEEE
802. Non-802-hosted interims would be the exception to this rule.

rule change proposal
Bill-
I have some general problems with your proposal.
RE the original form of the phrase:
The LMSC Treasurer may collect fees from all attendees of any meeting held in
conjunction with the
a Plenary or Interim session to
cover the expenses of operating the LAN MAN Standards Committee.
...probably needs to be updated from "may" to "shall".
Either way, I don't think the modification for interims belongs here in the
current context.
It is not the job of the LMSC Treasurer to collect fees from an Interim session
to cover the expenses of operating the LAN MAN Standards Committee.
Rather, LMSC Treasurer through the conference organizer may collect fees from
all attendees of an interim meeting to cover the expenses of the interim
meeting.
If we go with the currently proposed text then we are signing up for all sorts
of grief about whose interims are supporting plenary operation and whose are
not.
Also, I am a little unhappy about a policy that is so completely rigid and has
no provision for input from the affected WG Chair.

All,
Attached is my first draft of the proposed deadbeat rule changes.
I have put the new material in a new section so that it applies equally
to any LMSC standards development group meeting.
Your comments are encouraged.
Thanks,
