Re: [802SEC] +++10 Day EC Email Ballot+++ENDS 09 FEB 06+++ motion to approve 802.11n Press Release
Stuart,
Congratulations on your progress. Still, I need to vote Disapprove.
This press release is, in my view, weak in its
most important function: explaining exactly what
it is that happened.
It says two things:
(a) "The IEEE has approved a joint proposal"
This is incorrect. The IEEE didn't approve anything.
(b) The task group "voted unanimously to confirm the joint proposal."
Confirm it as what?
I would change my vote to Approve if the following changes were made:
(a) "The IEEE has approved a joint proposal" =>
"The task group responsible for developing the
IEEE 802.11n project has voted to accept, as a
baseline, a joint proposal"
(b) "voted unanimously to confirm the joint
proposal" => "voted unanimously to confirm the
joint proposal as a baseline"
If I am wrong about the wording "baseline", I'm
happy to accept different language, as long as it
is reflective of what actually happened.
