To: 802 EC
Subject: Request to Approve IMT-Advanced press release
Dear EC Colleagues,
We are pleased to report that yesterday the IEEE 802.18 TAG and the
IEEE
802.16 WG, meeting in a Joint Plenary, approved a contribution to
ITU-R
proposing an IMT-Advanced candidate based on IEEE 802.16. No
Disapprove
votes were recorded from either 802.18 or 802.16. The document that
was
approved (subject to any final editorial adjustments) is available at
<http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/#09_010X>.
We appreciate the hard work and cooperative spirit of all those
involved.
We would like to immediately introduce an 802 EC electronic ballot to
approve an associated press release. We therefore offer 10 day EC
motion, opening 25 September 2009 and closing October 5 2009 (11:59
PM ET):
Motion:
"The EC supports the issuance of the press release in IEEE
802.16-09/0054 ('IEEE Proposes IMT-Advanced Candidate based on IEEE
802.16', <http://ieee802.org/16/docs/#09_0054>) by the IEEE-SA, with
editorial changes as deemed necessary."
Moved: Mike Lynch
Seconded: Roger Marks
Early close: As required in subclause 3.1.2.2 'Electronic Balloting'
of
the IEEE project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations
Manual, this is notice that, to ensure that this release is provided
in
a timely manner, this ballot may close early once sufficient responses
are received to clearly decide the matter. We will appreciate your
early
response.
