Re: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ EC_Membership_&_Meetings

I disapprove.

Comments:

7.1.2.1 Member Emeritus

I do not support adding a section in the P&P for a Member Emeritus position. There is no need for this P&P change. If Chair wants help, then the same result can be accomplished by a simple majority motion for a temporary position. The temporary position could be two Plenary periods. The Chair ruled in November that such a motion was valid and it was passed. Our last discussion of the P&P covered the desire for streamlining the P&P not adding unnecessary sections.

7.1.5.2 Meetings by Teleconference

I do not support having EC meetings by teleconference. It effectively creates closed meetings. 802 members now know when the current EC meetings are held. It is during a week when they are devoting their efforts to 802. Even having a large notice period for the teleconference meeting would place an additional burden on the 802 members to attend another meeting.

 

I do support the other changes if they include the comments by O'Hara and Stevenson.

Regards,

Jerry Upton
