Re: [802SEC] +++10 Day EC Email Ballot (Closes no later than 22 January 2007)+++Motion regarding IEEE 802 reciprocal voting rights+++
I have the same problem with this as expressed by Roger - the motion
attempts to make a rules change but via the wrong mechanisms, and
therefore I have to vote "No".
However, I agree with the sentiments expressed that it is desirable
to provide a means whereby voting members in one group can
participate in another should they desire to do so. We can already do
this within existing P&P as the Chair has the ability to grant
membership, so as far as I can tell, we're already there - there's
nothing more to be done other than for the Chairs of groups where
reciprocal voting is going to be appropriate to agree amongst
themselves how it will work for their groups and/or for particular projects.
Over the past few days Bob Grow and I have been conducting exactly
that sort of negotiation regarding a piece of work that is relevant
to both 802.1 and 802.3. So I am failing to see the problem here.

Tony
