Dear EC,
During the July 2010 closing plenary the IEEE 802 EC granted conditional approval to P802.11s (Mesh networking) to proceed to sponsor ballot.
* Based upon the results of the most recent WG 802.11 recirculation ballot (LB166) on P802.11s_D7.0 the terms of the conditional approval have been met.
* Conditional approval checklist status is summarized below.
* The task group met in September and full details are to be found in the updated EC presentation at https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/10/11-10-0895-06-000s-p802-11s-report-to-ec-on-conditional-approval-to-go-to-sponsor-ballot.ppt
* As per LMSC OM Clause 14:
* a) Recirculation ballot is completed. Generally, the recirculation ballot and resolution should occur in accordance with the schedule presented at the time of conditional approval.
- The Ballot completed August 12, in accordance with the schedule presented to the EC in document 11-10/0695r04.
* b) After resolution of the recirculation ballot is completed, the approval percentage is at least 75% and there are no new valid DISAPPROVE votes.
- The approval percentage is 95%
- There are no new valid disapprove votes.
* c) No technical changes, as determined by the WG Chair, were made as a result of the recirculation ballot.
- No technical changes were made as a result of the recirculation ballot.
* d) No new valid DISAPPROVE comments on new issues that are not resolved to the satisfaction of the submitter from existing DISAPPROVE voters
- Initially in LB166, there were 11 comments received, of which 4 were associated with 1 no voter. Those comments were subsequently withdrawn.
- The net result was that there are no new disapprove comments.
* e) If the WG Chair determines that there is a new invalid DISAPPROVE comment or vote, the WG Chair shall promptly provide details to the Sponsor.
- There were no new invalid disapprove comments.
- There were no new invalid disapprove votes.
* f) The WG Chair shall immediately report the results of the ballot to the Sponsor including: the date the ballot closed, vote tally and comments associated with any remaining disapproves (valid and invalid), the WG responses and the rationale for ruling any vote invalid.
- The Ballot closed on 2010-8-12
- The comments associated with remaining disapproves and the WG responses are in https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/10/11-10-0895-06-000s-p802-11s-report-to-ec-on-conditional-approval-to-go-to-sponsor-ballot.ppt on slide 8
- As indicated above, one negative vote received in the recirculation was subsequently changed by the voter to approve coincident with withdrawal of all disapprove comments from that recirculation.
* The sponsor ballot group formation closed on Sept 13.
* We expect to start the first sponsor ballot within the next week.
Regards,
Bruce Kraemer
