Dear EC members,
Tony, good point. Since you and Mat are
the mover/seconder, I'll need your confirmation on the following restatement of
the motion:
"Motion:
Whereas 802.4
and 802.9 are in hibernation and no longer have any active standards I move
to to disband 802.4 and 802.9 per Clause 7.2.5.1 of our
P&P."
Moved: Mat Sherman, Second: Tony
Jeffree
As soon as you and Mat confirm, I'll restart
the ballot.
Regards,
--Paul

Ballot+++ENDS 4 SEPT+++ Disbanding of 802.4 and 802.9
Paul -
This 30-day ballot
seems to be requesting a 30-day ballot - i.e., if this ballot passes we have
to run another ballot before these WGs go away. I would suggest you get the
wording of the motion & ballot straightened out so we don't have to run
this twice ;-)
Either way, I vote
"Approve".
Regards,
Tony

PLEASE
NOTE THE BELOW:
I have contacted the chairs of the hibernating
802.4 and 802.9 Working Groups, Paul Eastman and Dhadesugoor Vaman to get
their input on the disbanding of their Working Groups. They have also
been copied on this email ballot. On behalf of the entire LMSC, I wish
to thank Paul and Dhadesugoor for their time and energy they have spent over
the years in leading their respective
projects.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vaman
concurs with the disbanding action and his response to my inquiry was as
follows:
"Dear Paul:
Greetings. I think you should go ahead with
the plans for disbandment of IEEE 802.9. I do not think that any body has
any problems, since the group has not met for many years.
[irrelevant
text deleted]...
Best regards
Vaman

Paul
Eastman disagrees with the disbanding action and his response to my inquiry
was as follows:
"I disagreed with the disbanding in 2000 (or
2001) and I still disagree. These standards are still in use in
isolated applications. I also believe that these old standards should
have the right to protect their legacy. Under the current rules, there
is no method for such protection. I know that I am in a very small
minority regarding my opinion but I am not about to roll over in bowing to
the majority. I will abide by the majority but will maintain my
opinion. I do not remember when (other than 2000 or 2001) 802.4 was
disbanded.
-- Paul Eastman"

Disbanding of 802.4 and 802.9
Dear EC
members,
There has been a motion
to disband 802.4 and 802.9, made by Mat Sherman and seconded by Tony Jeffree
as shown below:
Motion:
Whereas 802.4 and 802.9 are in hibernation and no longer
appear to have any active standards, per Clause 7.2.5.1 of our P&P I'd
like to request a 30 day electronic ballot of the EC on a motion to disband
802.4 and 802.9.
Before I
initiate the formal email ballot, I will attempt to get the chairs of the
hibernating working groups to confirm they agree with this action (Paul
Eastman, 802.4 and Dhadesugoor Vaman, 802.9.) over the next several
days. I have copied Paul Eastman on this email. I don't have a
current email for Vaman, so I've also copied John Boal, who I believe is in
contact with Vaman and can notify him of our
plans.
Regards,
--Paul
