Re: [802SEC] Proposed rule changes for July meeting
James,
I believe all members, including their alternates, of the sponsor should be required to provide the necessary letters of endorsement.
Non-voting members should also provide the affiliation letter. A modified version of the affiliation letter, which doesn't include the statement regarding how to vote, should also be required. IMHO, such individuals still contribute to a decision process without voting by their participation in the debate of issues.

Subject: [802SEC] Proposed rule changes for July meeting
All
In the interest of getting the P&P changes onto AudCom's agenda, I would
like to start discussion of the proposed changes by email so that we can
have some level of consensus by the Sunday night rules meeting that will
lead to a successful motion on Monday morning.
Accordingly, I would like to take up discussion of one of the proposed
changes on this email in search of feedback.
Every 2 years, the Recording secretary asks for letters of endorsement
from potential EC members. Currently the rule states "Any person to be
confirmed by the Sponsor shall ...". I had produced two suggestions:
a) "All members of the Sponsor shall ..."
b) "All voting members of the Sponsor shall ..."
However, I have noticed that this leaves out WG and TAG Vice Chairs, who
are not members of the Sponsor, but can vote (under the newly modified
rules) and are confirmed by the sponsor.
It turns out that there is no central place that lists all the persons
that are to be confirmed by the Sponsor.
So 2 questions:
1) Should non-voting members of the Sponsor be required to file
letters of affiliation including the statement regarding how to vote?
2) Should we add a list of the persons to be confirmed by the Sponsor?
