[802SEC] [802SEC] RE: [802SEC] EC electronic ballot on 802.22 press release (CLEAN version of document attached)
I vote Approve.
I agree with John Hawkins that we should reserve
press releases for specific concrete
achievements. In my mind, starting WG Letter
Ballot is the first concrete achievement in a
project.
However, while the EC discusses its view on the
policy, I'm willing to vote Approve on this one.
