Re: [802SEC] New IMAT beta test at 802 Wireless Interim in Atlanta
Christina,
Another "me too" from me. The group that I chair (802.18) allows attendees to obtain credit in their home groups by attending 802.18. In many cases they attend when documents from their WG are being presented and again when votes are being taken on those documents. Yes, it is possible for someone to be a valid 802.18 voter and also a voter in 802.xx.
The system needs to support attendance that is "split" between 802.18 and any other WG that has agreed to that process.
Regards,
Mike

I agree with Pat, that not only have we requested, it is required by the rules.
Who made the decision not to implement this required feature?
