Re: [802SEC] Indemnification memo
All,
I expected this topic to generate a lot of discussion as it touches on a
very important aspect of our work as standards volunteers. Bob Heile makes
a good point that there are other examples of non-indemnifiable behaviour
that should be communicated to the group. Please look at Friday's
indeminfication memo is a starting point--I'll amend it as appropriate as I
gather more information. I would like to hear from the EC members as to any
additional examples you feel should be included in a future memo. My plan
is to collect the input and issue an updated memo prior to the March plenary
session.
Regards,
--Paul
