Re: [802SEC] need UC-EC second for Motion to return 802.20 to individual voting rights
John,
No - Does getting a second at a meeting start a ballot? It is a similar
process here. Paul then has to either conduct the ballot or delegate
conducting the ballot to someone else. In the latter case, he may give
the delegate instructions on conducting the ballot such as duration and
whether the ballot can close after all the EC members have voted (an
option in our rules).
Then there will be an email that announces that the ballot has started -
see my email that started the ballot on allowing the PARs in July for an
example. By custom, the ballot announcement email usually has a subject
that starts +++ 802 EC Motion and its body will say when the ballot will
close and any other special conditions that apply to the ballot (e.g.
2/3 vote or UC-EC motion).
Regards,
Pat

Paul's asking for someone to second it doesn't start the vote once it
has been seconded?

All,
Can we please get someone to second this motion?
The motion will be decided by the UC-EC, so
we'll need a UC-EC member
to second it. As a reminder, the UC-EC consists
of: voters: Gilb,
Lemon, Law, Lynch, Kraemer, Hawkins, Rigsbee,
Jeffree, Heile and
non-voters Thompson, Nikolich.

James,
I disagree regarding this statement:
It has been pointed out to me that we
can do entity voting
(apparently
mixed voting was done away with, but is
still listed in the IEEE SA
web
pages) under the rules defined by the
SA.
While the SA has defined rules for
entity voting, it isn't clear how
to
apply them to have one Working Group
with a mix of entity and
individual
voting PARs. For example, there are
different membership
requirements
for a working group developing standards
under the entity method and
under the individual method. Does a
Working Group with a mix of PARs
have two voting lists - one entity and
one individual? If so, which
is
used for voting on items that aren't
tied to one of the PARs such as
electing a chair or a directed position
regarding another group's
PAR?
There is also a difference in sponsor
operating procedures. For
sponsors
developing individual standards, 5.1.1
of the SB-OM says they must
have
P & P and can use the model operating
procedures but then it goes on
to
say: "There are also operating
procedures available for Sponsors
developing a standard using the entity
method of participation, and
Sponsors shall utilize these procedures
as the basis for entity
standardization." So there are different
(model) operating
procedures
for sponsors depending on whether they
are developing under the
individual and entity method.
Therefore, it is not clear that the
rules defined by the SA cover
operation of a sponsor or a Working
Group developing PARs under both
individual and entity methods at the
same time. Because the
procedures
for an entity sponsor allow sponsor
voting to be by individuals, it
might be possible to merge entity and
individual projects into an
single
sponsor. Merging them into a single WG
presents more of a problem.
Regards,
Pat

Wow, I am having some trouble typing
here.
In the motion passed on July 16, 2007,
"shall e as" should have been
"shall be as"
Instead of:
If 802.20 (or any other group) wants to
create a PAR with entity
voting
or to modify a current PAR so that it
uses entity voting.
I meant to say:
If 802.20 (or any other group) wants to
create a PAR with entity
voting
or to modify a current PAR so that it
uses entity voting, it can
decide
to do that by a vote of the Working
Group, subject to approval by
the
802 EC and NesCom or RevCom, as
appropriate.
I am looking for a second and/or
suggestions to help with the
wording.

Some corrections (thanks to Bob Grow).
June 2006, SASB took action removing
802.20 officers
December 2007 (not 2008) dissolving SASB
oversight committee and
returning all oversight to the EC.
I verified that the UC-EC meet in San
Francisco in closed session,
July
16, 2007. The public minutes state that
the following motion was
approved:
"Effective immediately, all votes and
ballots in the 802.20 working
group shall be conducted on the basis of
entity affiliation, with
one
vote per entity. Entities and
affiliation shall e as determined by
the
802 EC 802.20 OC, based on members'
declarations of their primary
affiliation and other information
available to the OC."
It has been pointed out to me that we
can do entity voting
(apparently
mixed voting was done away with, but is
still listed in the IEEE SA
web
pages) under the rules defined by the
SA. This may require some
clarifications to the 802 EC P&P and OM
as well as the 802.20 P&P
and
OM.
It was also pointed out that 802.20 did
not use entity voting
process,
it used one based on voting blocs.
If 802.20 (or any other group) wants to
create a PAR with entity
voting
or to modify a current PAR so that it
uses entity voting.
The goal of the motion is to return
802.20 to its original state
and
to
allow 802.20 members to determine the
best course of action,
including,
if they wish, to switch to entity
voting.

PS: Thanks for the responses from
everyone that helped me to
clarify
the
history and status of 802.20.

Paul N. will determine
the
valid voting pool (all EC or UC-EC).
Rationale:
On 16 July 2007, the UC-EC voted to make
voting for 802.20 to be
based
on entity affiliation.
SASB returned oversight of the 802.20 WG
to the UC-EC in December
2007.
Dec 2008 SASB minutes -- "Move to (1)
disband the SASB Oversight
Committee, and (2) return oversight
control to the 802 Executive
Committee with an offer of continuing
support for situations where
the
802 EC wishes to seek our help."
The above motion passed after reviewing
the EC motion from
November
2006
requesting that "the NC-EC be dissolved
once the 802.20 standard
is
approved by the SASB."
The 802.20 standard has been approved by
the SASB.
Motion
-------------
Moved to return the 802.20 working group
to individual voting at
the
beginning of the July 2008 plenary
meeting. Voting rights shall be
determined on historical attendance
credits per the 802.20 P&P,
and
superior rules.
--------------
Furthermore, the 802.20 rules and the
802 LMSC rules do not
explicitly
deal with entity voting Working Groups
(For example, what
constitutes
an entity? In 802.20 sponsor ballot,
various individuals were
grouped
by the oversight committee into a single
entity vote.)
If we want to convert 802.20 to entity
or mixed balloting group,
we
should take to the time to write the P&P
to support this. In the
mean
time, I think it would be best to return
802.20 to where it was.
