Re: [802SEC] Arnie's concern regarding submittals to ITU WP8F
Dear EC members,
I support Arnie's request that this be the subject of an EC discussion
(during one of the EC meetings, NOT during the week when WG Chairs have WG
meetings to run). I think that this is important enough that it deserves to
be allocated more than a cursory 5-10 minutes of discussion time, too.
I believe that submissions to ITU need to be reviewed by .18, be approved
(or reviewed under the 5 day rule) by the EC, and be submitted by Mike Lynch
(the designated liaison to ITU-R for the IEEE's sector membership) for a
review by Terry deCourcelle at SA HQ before being submitted to ITU-R as an
IEEE contribution.
The IEEE is the Sector Member ... neither .16 nor any other WG has, or
should have, any standing to submit contributions to ITU-R ... that right
is, as it should be, reserved for Sector Members and Member States per ITU
rules (if this rule has been ignored or skirted in the past that should not
constitute an excuse to continue the practice).
IEEE needs to maintain control over the use of its sector membership in
ITU-R, not only to maintain a level playing field amongst potentially
competing internal interest groups, but also in order to maintain its image
and the privilege of sector membership.
Regards,
Carl
