Bill,
I vote
do not approve with the following comments:
section 5.1.x: meeting notice should be 30 days.
section 5.1.x: quotation marks seem to be in the wrong place (end the
additional text too soon).
section 5.1.y.1: the EC composition is too large. It should be
reduced to the WG/TAG chair, vice chair(s), treasurer, and secretary, as
well as the task group chairs only. It is not clear if "All vice chairs"
and "all secretaries" include those of the task groups, as well as those of the
WG/TAG.
section 5.1.y.1 item 4.: "authorizer" should be "authorized" and
"approved signers" should be "authorized signers".
section 5.1.y.1 item 7.: is an onerous and unnecessary task to the extent
that copies of all invoices are required to be supplied in the required
report. This is supposed to be a report, not a detailed
audit.
section 5.1.y.1 item 11.: this does not specify when the review of the
interim registration fee by the LMSC EC is required. By its wording, this
could be done after the fees are collected and disbursed, before, or years
later.
section 5.1.y.1 item 12.: It seems that fees can be collected in excess
of the amount required for the interim session by the hosting WG/TAG from
non-members of the hosting WG/TAG, must not be spent on expenses outside the
interim hosted, but are not required to be returned. Do they just sit in
the account and accumulated interest? Can funds from fess collected from
non-members be disbursed first, guaranteeing that they are always spent on the
expenses of the hosted interim meeting and that any left over funds are from
members of the hosting WG/TAG? I think this item is superfluous and should
be replaced with a statement that the fees for interim meetings should be set as
a best effort to meet the interim expenses without any surplus. Any funds
remaining after expenses are paid revert to the general treasury of the hosting
WG/TAG.
section 5.1.y.1 item 13.: This item is unnecessary. If the WG/TAG
is operating with treasury, complying with IEEE financial procedures, and
meeting IEEE audit requirements, there is no need for additional LMSC EC review
of WG/TAG expenditures/collections.
section 5.1.y.1 item 22.: remove "and the LMSC EC" from the end of the
item. reasoning is the same as item 13 above.
