I will be joining Roger in disapproving such a

unbecoming for the SEC to vote to buy itself $1500 worth of dinner out of
the fees paid by the 802 membership.
I don't completely disagree but I would point out that the attending
members of 802 will be paying registration fees themselves. By my count
those attending the dinner will be paying well over $6000. I believe also
that the current state of the treasury is such that it can tolerate
this.

I would be happy to vote in favour of a motion
to cover the cost of providing dinner for our guests out of SEC funds,
and, like Roger, would be happy to pay my own share.

Tony

If the motion fails, I will be happy to personally cover my share
(including my share of the costs for all the invited guests).
And, by the way, who is the sixth panelist? We first heard Paul Nikolich,
Geoff Thompson, and Bob Metcalfe. Last week, the names Ron Crane and
David Boggs leaked out.

Geoff,
Since a 10 day email ballot wouldn't close until after the start of
next
week's plenary session, I suggest the SEC make a decision on the
motion
during the opening SEC meeting during your 'tutorial' agenda item.

Paul-
I would like to make the following SEC Motion to cover the costs of
a
dinner for the SEC and special guests to be held before the
Ethernet 30
Year Retrospective. The guest list will be the members of the SEC
(plus
the
Vice Chairs of 802.20), the six panel
speakers, the officers of 802.3 plus
the 2 former chairs, I would also like to include (per you
suggestion) Jim
Carlo (IEEE-SA President Elect) and Houlin Zhao (ITU-T Director of
the
Telecom Standards Bureau). The guest list totals 31.
Face-to-Face
estimated
$25-$30 per head. I will like a little
wiggle room in the motion.
Moved:
That an amount not to exceed $1500 be authorized to cover the costs
for a
catered dinner at the meeting hotel for guests who will be speaking
at the
Ethernet Retrospective, the SEC, officers of 802.3, etc.
Moved by: Geoff Thompson
Second: Bill Quackenbush
Thanks
Geoff
