Paul-
I have a great deal of trouble with this
(as I do with mcuh of the SA's business practices)
You know that I am all for keeping the pressure on the SA
AND the Institute to reform their business practices,
however asking them to continue to sell a product at
less than their sales fulfillment cost seems like an
express road to distaster. Maybe that is what is needed.
When Karen told us their fulfillment costs were over
$5.00 she did not tell us (a) how much the fulfillment
costs were for a $5.00 sale, nor have they ever told us
what their fulfillment costs are on a per transaction basis
for the GetIEEE802 program.
My guess is that it is cheaper to the SA to give away
standards than it is to sell them for $5.00 apiece.
Therefore my vote is to eliminate the 6 month waiting period.

Dear EC
members,
I forgot to get an explicit statement of support from the EC
members regarding support for the continuation $5 single copy sales,
therefore I'm conducting an EC email straw poll--please respond to the
following question and add any additional comments of support you may
have. I will compile the results and provide them to SA staff as a
statement of support from the 802 EC. All EC members may
respond.
Straw poll question: Do you support the continuation of the
$5 single copy sales program for at least 6 more months?
Possible responsed: Yes or No (Comments are
welcome).
Regards,
