Re: [802SEC] straw poll on interim EC telecon meetings
Steve,
Yes motions can be made and passed/failed during the meeting. At least that
is my intent---for the EC to be able to take formal actions just like we do
during a plenary session.
Regarding motions that require the entire 802 group to be in session, e.g.,
PAR approvals--we won't be able to make decisions on those, except for the
PARs of the 'maintenance' types.
We'll have to figure out how to map our current policy and procedures to
these non-traditional EC meetings--we should expect that will be an ongoing
activity....
Regards,
--Paul

Paul,
Would we permitted to pass motions at these meetings? It was my
understanding that previously we could only pass motions at Plenary sessions
and electronically. Maybe the 30-day notice make it possible to pass
motions on the conference calls. I just wanted to make sure we can pass
motions. Also are there any limits on what motions we can pass? For
example, I think there is a procedure for approving PARs that is all wrapped
up in the Plenary schedule, so I would like to know if we can approve PARs
on these conference calls.
Assuming we can pass motions I think it is a good idea. It has at least two
benefits.
1. It allows approval of motions from the WGs more often which will
eliminate the 4 month wait between Plenary sessions.
2. It might make the EC meetings at Plenary sessions a little less
overbooked, since some motions can be passed on these conference calls.
So I am in favor. I would like to understand what motions we are permitted
to pass at these calls.
Steve

Subject: [802SEC] straw poll on interim EC telecon meetings
Dear EC members,
I'd like to get your feedback on holding an EC meeting via teleconference
between plenary sessions (for example in the 1st week of June, October and
February). My though is we'd hold a 2 hour telecon to make decisions on
time-critical items such as PAR approvals, Sponsor Ballot initiation
approvals, RevCom submissions, etc.
I'd make sure we'd have an agenda posted 30 days in advance an all the
materials necessary to make such decisions available for review at least one
week before the telecon.
Thoughts? Please provide your feedback by 23APR. I'll summarize the
feedback and if the response is positive, I'd like us to consider holding
the first such meeting 1pm-3pm ET Friday 04JUN2010.
Regards,
--Paul
