of 802.4 and 802.9
Dear EC Members,
This is a 30 day email ballot to make a
determination on the following motion:
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.
The ballot opens 04August 2004 1pm edt and closes 04September 2004
1pm edt.
Regards,
--Paul Nikolich
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
(T) 301-514-7880"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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"

Subject: [802SEC] 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 Nikolich
