Re: [802SEC] Proposed rule changes for July meeting

That would be OK, if we define what "alternates" are.  For example, I do 
not have an alternate for my position (and I don't think I should have one).

Implicit in you choice is that we do not require non-voting members to 
show financial support for their position nor require them to act and 
vote as an individual and a professional.  There is some justification 
for this, we would simply be saying that the non-voting members are not 
necessary to the continuing function of the EC and hence their absence 
from plenary (and potentially, the lack of time to support the work away 
from meetings) will not impede the operation of the EC.

I can see it either way and would look forward to other EC member's opinion.

PS: Of course, if we take this tack, then we can't harass you for 
letters in 2014, which would lower the entertainment value of the March 
2014 meeting. :)
