Dear EC Members, as per the motion at the November Plenary closing EC meeting I am starting a (35 day) ballot on the proposed rule change. I am extending the ballot to account for the upcoming US Thanksgiving holiday (and yes Canada has such a holiday - its just a month earlier). I will be running a face to face comment resolution session during the January Interim Session to try to finalize the language. I believe sunday night is the best time to hold such a meeting, but I am open to other suggestions. The language you will find enclosed is different (and I believe improved) from what was shown at the EC meeting. 1) It attempts to provide better sentence structure (less of a run-on sentence). 2) It addresses an issue brought up to me personally by one of the 2 dissenting voters to the rules change motion in terms of insuring that roll call votes cannot be used as a delaying tactic. Personally, I have only seen roll call votes used in dot17 sparingly and they have in fact helped me determine when a group was attempting to block concensus / progress. As such, there has never been an issue with their use as a delay tactic, but I do have sympathy for such a concern. cheers, mike -- Michael Takefman tak@cisco.com Distinguished Engineer, Cisco Systems Chair IEEE 802.17 Stds WG 3000 Innovation Dr, Ottawa, Canada, K2K 3E8 voice: 613-254-3399 cell:613-220-6991
