Re: [802SEC] Motion to return 802.20 to individual voting rights
James,
I'm not sure exactly what yoiu should change in your motion to take Grow's
comments into account, but I do think they are valid. The WG should provide
input to their chair, who can argue on their behalf. I think that should be
sufficient. Or WG members comments can be solicited during the decision
period.
The decision is limited to the UC-EC, but any EC member can participate in
the discussion.
Tony--as Grow points out, the UC-EC still exists. The UC-EC will have to
explicitly decide to dissolve itself, but first we need to resolve the
question regarding the operation of the WG.
James--please re-craft the motion and solicit a second. I'd like to have
this decided well before the start of the plenary session.
Regards,
--Paul
