[802SEC] Executive Committee Member Emeritus

[Paul Nikolich <paul.nikolich@ATT.NET>]

Dear EC members,

Per our discussion during the EC meeting this week to discuss the member emeritus position, here is what I propose to have decided this afternoon.

1) Motion:
To approve the creation of a EC member emeritus position with the following
conditions:
- based on long years of prior distinguished service on EC
- non voting participant
- a person must be nominated and elected by the EC to fill the position
- limited to a single position
- position expires at the next regular EC election
(these conditions are similar to those used in the Standards Board
Bylaws--see below)

Assuming this is approved, the next steps will be:

2) Nominate Geoff Thompson to fill the member emeritus position
3) Hold election

Regards,

--Paul
