Dear EC Members:
Attached please find a proposed resolution for this ballot. ALL OF THE
CHANGES ARE ON PAGE 1! Everything else in the ballot is identical to
what was originally balloted. Please review the material on page 1. If
this will change your vote in anyway, please let me know. If you did
not vote on this the first time around, please let me know how you will
vote so I have an accurate assessment on whether or not this revision
ballot will pass as is.
Note that while I will hold a 'P&P Review" session Sunday before the
plenary, it is my intent not to make any further changes to the ballots
in process unless it is clear they will fail. I find it difficult to
gain consensus on changes during the plenary week, so I don't plan to
make any unless absolutely necessary. The primary focus of the Sunday
Night P&P Review will be forward looking towards new ballots and issues.
I will have a separate e-mail on the agenda for that meeting shortly.
Regards,
Mat

Subject: +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot Results +++ Editorial 2
Dear EC members,
Below you will find the final results on this ballot. Note that while
the ballot has no disapprove votes, it would fail due to lack of
response at the final vote. Please let me know if you see any errors in
the accounting.
I will develop proposed resolutions to the comments and hold an LMSC P&P
review session Sunday night before the plenary.
Thanks & Regards,
Mat

In the P&P Revision Ballot of 060430 on page 31, line 35 a reference is
made to item 6 above. What is item 6?

I have one question on the editorial changes in section 7.1.6.2: why
did we make the change to "LMSC Recording Secretary" from "EC Recording
Secretary"?

I don't think this is substantial, in that it would more accurately
reflect reality.
Change:
Page 12, Line 15, from: "LMSC standards are developed within a Working
Group 15 (WG) or Technical Advisory Group (TAG) (see Figure 2)."
To:
"LMSC standards are developed within a Working Group (WG). A Technical
Advisory Group (TAG) produces LMSC Recommended Practices or technical
recommendations regarding LMSC issues (see Figure 2)."
Page 7, line 38: "WG" should be "WGs" (also several other places too).

I believe working groups also produce recommended practices and guides
sometime. The text implies that if you want to produce a recommended
practice it should be done in a TAG. I think we should make it clear
that a working group can produce a standard, a recommended practice or a
guide; while a TAG can produce a recommended practice or a guide.

You are correct. My text didn't quite do the job.

I think so too. Although, a staff member would probably say that
"standard" covers standards, recommended practices and guides.

Text from an old version:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LMSC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REVISED JULY 16, 2004
FILE: LMSC_P&P_JULY_2004_R0.DOC
8.2.3 Interim Session Financial Reporting A WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup
shall prepare and submit all financial reports required by IEEE,
IEEE-SA, Computer Society and LMSC regulations on any of its interim
sessions for which fees were collected and that did not comply with all
of the following requirements.
1. The WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup was not the Host of the session.
2. The Host complied with the definition of a host in Section 6.2.1 of
these P&P.
3. Neither the WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup nor any of its officers had any
financial responsibility for the session including any deficit or
penalties.
4. Neither the WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup nor any of its officers handled
and/or had or exercised any control over any funds either received for
the session or disbursed to pay the expenses of the session including
penalties.
5. Neither the WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup nor any of its officers had
and/or exercised any decision authority over the disposition of any
surplus funds from the session.
6. Neither the WG/TAG or WG/TAG subgroup nor any of its officers have or
had any control over or beneficial interest in any surplus funds from
the session.
the case of an interim session that is hosted by a single non-IEEE
entity and for which fees are collected, the usual financial goal is for
the session to be non-deficit with a minimum surplus. A recommended way
of achieving this is for the Host to commit to a contribution to the
session and then reduce that contribution as required to minimize any
session surplus. It may be most convenient for the Host to not make the
contribution (transfer the funds) until the size of the contribution
needed to meet the non-deficit minimum surplus goal is known. If there
is a surplus, the Host may retain it or dispose of it in any manner it
chooses that does not violate item 6 above. 8.3 Registration Policy In

Paul,
Sorry for the very late reply. The 'formal title' for the position is
LMSC Recording Secretary (See 7.1.2).

Comment 1: The current P&P says "There are two types of votes in the WG"
and then proceeds to list three types of votes. The third is the Roll
Call Vote. This should listed not as an independent third type but
instead as a subset of "Voting at Meeting". Though this material would
not be changed by the document under ballot, it is an editorial issue
that could be addressed in the ballot.
Remedy: Renumber Subclause 7.2.4.2.3 ("Roll Call Votes") as 7.2.4.2.1.1,
under "Voting at Meeting".
Comment 2: With the changes, "WG" becomes both singular and plural.
Likewise "TG" and "SG". This makes the writing significantly more crude
and unpleasant. It also has the potential to introduce ambiguity. For
example, "A petition signed by two-thirds of the combined members of all
WG forces the EC implement the resolution."
is less effective than the original sentence.
Remedy: When plural, change WG => WGs, TG => TAGs, and SG => SGs.
