Re: [802SEC] Electronic Participation in Interim Meetings
Todd,
As is true for all members of the 802 EC, Bob is legally speaking for
himself, and is explicitly acknowledged to be doing so by his sponsor as
part of being allowed on the 802 EC. Although most, if not all, of us
have our expenses paid by some sponsor(s) in order to attend 802
meetings, all of us attend, speak, and vote as individuals, representing
our best judgment as individuals.
Finally, as monger is most often a pejorative term, I take offense at
your using this to describe any member of the 802 EC.
