Re: [802SEC] Fw: Memo to 802.15 Working Group
Paul,
Its nice to see that the IEEE-SA finally figured out a better
definition of domination then the joke they were using before.
I can't help but laugh that it wasn't listening to the EC members
but a USA today story that seems to have gotten some action
from them. Especially as they were warned that failure to
control this problem would cause damage to the IEEE brand
(et voila).
I think it is incumbent on all chairs to be proactive and do a
very good job of looking at their WGs/TGs to see if the sorts
of allegations that have been made in the case of 15.3 could be
made in any of their groups. So far, our track record in
this kind of self policing has been haphazard.
I am not sure that the policy suggested actually solves the
problem, or whether all chairs believe there is a problem.
No doubt this will be a lively discussion in November.
cheers,
mike
