Steve, Actually, to set the record
straight, the number was not reduced; it was just never increased. We
were trying to get the AP’s for our last meeting (Orlando) where we had
20 loaners already lined up, so we had only asked for 24 for that
meeting. Because of tight timing that was not do-able in time for Orlando but Cisco followed
through after the fact and finally approved the discount deal for the 24 we had
asked for. By the time they learned that we had really wanted 44, they
had already gotten all the paperwork approved, so rather than jeopardize the
approved deal, we agreed to just go ahead with the 24 as approved, and find an
alternate way to acquire the additional 20. You don’t want to get
caught looking the gift horse in the mouth. J Getting 24
at cost is already very generous.
Cisco has been a very generous supporter
of IEEE 802 over the years, and we don’t want to risk being anything but
grateful for all the support they have provided.
Thanx, Buzz

Paul,
Approve. However, I am disappointed that the number of APs available at
the discount price was reduced from the original arrangement.

Ballot+++ Allocation of Funds for the Acquisition of Wireless Access Points for
Plenary Meeting Network Support
Dear EC
Members,
This is a 10 day email ballot to make a determination on the below motion to
allocate additional funds for equipment purchase.
The ballot
opens 8PM EDT 5May 2004 and closes 8PM EDT 15May 2004.
Regards,
--Paul Nikolich
Motion:
Whereas the 802 EC had approved $7,500 for acquisition of 44 Wireless Access Points
(WAPs) at the closing EC meeting in Orlando; and
Whereas Cisco Systems has now generously agreed to provide 24 of those WAPs to
IEEE 802 for a substantially discounted net value of $3500; and
Whereas that leaves us with the need to acquire 20 additional WAPs on the
retail market at an estimated $700 each (total = $14K); and
Whereas we therefore need to allocate an additional $10K to complete the
acquisition of the needed equipment in time for our Portland plenary session;
Therefore be it resolved that: the IEEE 802 Executive Committee approves
expenditure of up to an additional $10K for Acquisition of Wireless Access
Points for Plenary Meeting Network Support (total of $17,500 for the 44
WAPs).
