EC
Members,
The following constitutes a
revision of the Motion dealing with the support of the IEEE 802 News
Bulletin.
Attached is the reply I received
form Karen McCabe on the feasibility of working without a pre-plenary draft of
the News Bulletin. She indicates that IEEE staff is willing to work without
the pre-meeting input.
Bob Grow indicated that he may be
willing to support a motion on providing input to the news within 3 days in
lieu of the status report due within one hour of the closing of a plenary
session.
Based on that I would like your
comments on the following proposed motion for the closing EC meeting. I will
only present if we get a chance of passing the motion otherwise we will take
it up next time.
Whereas the
IEEE 802 News Bulletin has become the standing means by which the IEEE 802
WGs and TAGs disseminate
timely information, it is resolved that:
·
The requirement
for the WG Chair to deliver a
"Plenary Closing Status Report" to the EC secretary within an hour of the
close of the WG meeting be replaced with the following
responsibilities:
- The WG chair is responsible for
assuring that timely input is provided to the 802 News Bulletin
coordinator to facilitate posting of a final version of the News
Bulleting one week after the closing of each 802 plenary. To this end a summary of the WG
accomplishments shall be
provided within three days of the close of the Plenary
session.
- The WG
chair may delegate this responsibility to a WG
member.
Please let me have your comments
and I will see if we are close to consensus.
Mark
