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



James,
Speaking as the guy who will have to deal with people next go around - I would like to see both letters (endorsement / affiliation) called out in the rules, and believe both voting and non-voting should be required to provide both.

All

BTW: The issue here is the endorsement letter.  The affiliation letter 
is required by ruling of the Chair.  I suspect that you both are 
referring the the endorsement letter.

We could modify the text in c) (for the affiliation letter) to say 
something like:
  c) Recognition that the individual is expected to act as both a 
professional and as an individual expert and, if voting, in accordance 
with the conditions stated in the Voting Guidance subclause of the IEEE 
802 Operations Manual.

That would cover it, I think.

IMHO, such individuals still contribute to a decision process without voting by their participation in the debate of issues.
