Stuart,  I hope you will read my response to Harry on this point.  And please observe that we are not suggesting that we force or coerce anyone to make upgrades to their computer.  It is purely optional, at their choice, and they must sign a waiver assuming full responsibility for their decision to do the upgrade.  We (802) have no liability under such a plan.  

Thanx,  Buzz

Paul,

I approve the Network AP upgrades ONLY. But do not agree to the Tri-Mode interface cards on the grounds of liability to 802 on Company or Individual members machines being subject to failures or corruption of those machines. Indeed my company will not allow this and it is a serious offence to do so. To this end, I explained my reasoning at the closing EC meeting on Friday. Not a good idea in my view. We should encourage them to get them, BUT NOT to provide them. To which end, if there is an EC motion to do this then I will DISAPPROVE the idea.

/ Stuart

Subject: [802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot+++ Motion for Network Equipment
Upgradesl+++ends 19 August 2005

Dear EC Members,

This is a email ballot to make a determination on the below motion.

Motion: 
"Whereas our Network Manager, Tim Godfrey, has recommended that we proceed with acquisition of the 802.11a modules for our Cisco 1200 APs that are not currently so equipped, and that we make an effort to encourage our attendees to migrate to 802.11a for reduced congestion:  
 

I move that we proceed to acquire those additional 802.11a modules (20), and further that we investigate a promotional deal to encourage more of our attendees to upgrade to Tri-Mode (802.11b, 11g, 11a) interface cards, which would also allow us to regulate client transmit power levels in dense configurations.  Terms of deal will be reviewed with the Network Services Advisory Committee, and presented for final approval by the 802 EC prior to implementation." 


Moved: Rigsbee
Second: Hawkins

The ballot opens 7PM ET Sunday 24 July 2005 and closes Friday 19 August 2005 2005.

Regards,

--Paul Nikolich
