Re: [802SEC] *++++ EC ballot regarding IEEE 802 Liaison Letter to SC6 on proposed disposition of 8802 Standards ++++*
Thanks, Bruce. I vote Approve on the motion. I do think that all motions to approve external documents should be explicit about the decision and followup actions being approved.
Regarding Item #2, I agree that it's best to refer to the experts.
Regarding Item #1, if they didn't take any action to give us an opportunity to comment, I think it's better to not thank them.

I don't know precisely what that means. I think we should be voting on something more concrete, particularly since the OM provides for different types of position statements.

It's my understanding that the intent is to approve the statement per 9.1.1 of the OM, as a communication from the LMSC to an external standards body. Is that your understanding as well?
