Subject: Re: [802SEC] +++EC Motion+++ Motion to Confirm Denis Kuwahara as Vice-chair of 802.18--(open July30-close Aug 29th)DISAPPROVE
Unless 802.18 has its own approved procedures in place that contradict the 802 procedures I feel that I am forced to vote against this motion.We do ... Section 2.2 of the "Policies and Procedures of the IEEE 802.18 Radio Regulatory Technical Advisory Group (“RR-TAG”)", whichwas drafted by the RR-TAG collectively, with lots of discussion and forethought, and approved unanimously by the members, states:2.2 RR-TAG Vice-Chair
The RR-TAG Vice-Chair is initially appointed by the RR-TAG Chair and confirmed by the RR-TAG. The specific responsibilities of the Vice-Chair are designated by the RR-TAG Chair.
Thus, I believe that the motion is in order (the EC does have to confirm Denis as Vice-chair of 802.18), as the procedures followed to bring Denis before the EC as a candidate for EC confirmation were correctly observed.
Carl said:Our procedures say:
- > As Chair of 802.18, I appointed Denis to the position of Vice-chair,
- > and the membership of 802.18 unanimously affirmed that appointment.
- 5.1.2 Chair
LMSC Working Group Chairs and Vice Chairs shall be elected by the Working Group and confirmed by the LMSC Executive Committee.
This is no reflection whatsoever on Denis whom I would have been delighted to vote to confirm had his placement been done according to procedure.Understood that you have no issue with Denis, but with procedure ... I believe I have demonstrated that the 802.18 P&P *ws* followed ... in fact, read on ...
If I am mistaken please point me to chapter and verse.Having read ahead one e-mail, to Mat's questions to Geoff and myself, I will answer here ...Before making the appointment, I noted to the group that Denis had been effectively doing the work of a Vice-chair/Secretary since the inception of 802.18 at the July 2002 Plenary. I asked informally if anyone else was interested in being Vice-chair (ear-shattering silence and mild head shaking of the side to side variety) and then, as sort of a "straw poll" if anyone would have any issue with me appointing Denis as Vice-chair of 802.18 ... again, it was VERY clear that NOBODY else wanted to sign up to do the work of Vice-chair and that everyone was VERY happy with Denis.
It was at that point, seeing no others interested in the position and everyone supportive of Denis being appointed that I stated that I would make the appointment, per the approved 802.18 P&P.
The confirmation was moved by Mr. Notor and seconded by Mr. Murray.
The confirmation motion carried unanimously (and enthusiastically, I might add).
I hope that this clears up Geoff's concerns about procedural correctness and that he will consider changing his DISAPPROVE vote to APPROVE.

Carl R. Stevenson
