RE: [802SEC] +++EC Motion+++ Motion to Confirm Denis Kuwahara as Vice-chair of 802.18--(open July30-close Aug 29th)
Mat-
The implication to me (again, only working from the material presented)
is that appointment indicates a private arrangement between the chair and
the appointee. An election implies that there was a public call for
nominations, of which there may only have been one.
Perhaps I am splitting hairs...
But then, it is me.

Geoff,
Out of curiosity, if only one person is interested in a position is there
really a distinction between an election and a confirmation? I view
an election with only one candidate as a confirmation. Perhaps I am
splitting hairs but&.
Carl,
Did you have a call for interested parties concerning this
position? Was anyone except Denis interested?
Thanks,

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.

Our procedures say:
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.
By my read of what has been put
before me "appointed by the chair and affirmed by the
membership" is not the same or even equivalent to
"elected by the Working
Group"
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.
If I am mistaken please point me to chapter and verse.
