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

Mat,  We still do provide loaner cards, we just never offerred any help before.  There is a waiver included with their promise to return the loaner card or to pay for it.  Our current crop of loaner cards are getting a bit long of tooth and some should be culled out as no-longer suitable.  But I think we are much better off, if we start with a full batch of the latest and greatest Tri-Mode cards and let folks keep them for future use.  Loaner cards seem to be much more of a liability since we force the user to do his own install without any warnings.  

Thanx,  Buzz

Paul,

Minimally we should make people sign a waiver.  Didn't we use to provide loaner cards in the past?  How did we deal with it back then?  What is different today?

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
