Folks,
As requested, I've modified the existing 'WG Membership & Meeting' P&P
Revision to be against the most recently approved P&P (which should be
posted shortly). No substantive changes have been made.
Best Regards,

Mat -
The wording I have a problem with is as follows:
"WG election procedures shall be defined within the WG P&P. Prior to
their establishment, election procedures must be reviewed and approved
by the EC before implementation."
The first sentence mandates the existence of a WG P&P document;
otherwise, the "shall" cannot be complied with.
Yes, at some point, the SA will sick some set of model WG P&P on us;
however, forcing all 802 WGs to establish P&P ahead of time, with the
likelihood that the SA actions will cause us to re-work them later on,
seems to be a gratuitous waste of all our time.
Also, I see absolutely no rational reason why we should have N
differently worded sets of election procedures for officer positions, so
I can see no reason why this issue shouldn't be resolved by adding WG
election procedures to the 802 P&P.
My proposal is, therefore:
1) That both sentences in the above quoted text is removed from the
existing P&P rules change; and
2) A separate rules change be initiated (which I am happy to do if you
wish) to add WG officer election procedures to the 802 P&P.
If either of those sentences stay in, I will vote against this change.
Regards,
Tony
