Re: [802SEC] TV Whitespace agenda for Plenary



Carl,

I don't believe there are any issues and I believe things are already
resolved to Gerald's satisfaction.  ECSG voting will be limited the 3
meetings (Tues AM1, Wends PM1, and Thurs PM1) but the other meetings
will be used in a way similar to the Ad Hocs at the Wireless interim.

I echo Gerald's comments, which I expressed myself earlier ...

This ECSG is WAY out of hand ... And as a member of the EC, I
*strenuously*
object.
