[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.
