RE: [802SEC] ArrayComm claiming their technology to be "Standards-Based (IEEE 802.20)" in CITEL Seminar presentation

["Bob O'Hara" <bob@airespace.com>]

Carl,

It is extremely unlikely that you will get any action from the EC in the
required time.  You know that the claim is false and you have some
relationship with the organizers.  You can simply inform them as an
individual, possibly with Mark adding his support, as vice chair of
802.20.

While this may overstate the issue to a degree remember "all that is
necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Bob,

If the EC directs me to pursue that approach, I will do so,
but I will not take such action unilaterally.  I do know the
CITEL folks well enough to make such a request if directed
to do so.

Any decision would be required in the next day or two ...
I don't know if Paul is prepared to/has the authority to
make such a call.

Regards,
Carl
