Dear EC Members,
I received the below sponsor ballot invitation last
night, it looks like something 802 participants may be interested
in. However, this is a similar situation to P1905.1 in that P1900.4
is an entity project that requires corporate membership.
My question is: is there enough interest among 802
participants such that should 802 attempt to negotiate a similar arrangement to
P1905.1 in terms of gaining access to and commenting on the sponsor ballot
drafts? We will need a decision prior to 09NOV2012.
Regards,
--Paul

If your organization is interested in participating, please ensure that your organization is an IEEE-SA Basic or Advanced corporate member as of the closing date of this invitation, or that your organization has paid the per-ballot fee. Any organization may ballot this IEEE Standard by meeting the requirement for corporate membership or payment of a per-ballot fee. You can check to see if your organization is a Basic or Advanced corporate member or find out who is your entity member representative by reviewing the list available at http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/corpmemlist.html If your organization is not an IEEE-SA Basic or Advanced corporate member, but wishes to participate in this ballot, follow the instructions at the following URL to become a member: http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/corp_overview.html If your organization prefers to pay the per-ballot fee, please contact Penny Stanton, IEEE-SA Standards Process Specialist, at: sa-ballot@ieee.org ***** BALLOT INFORMATION ***** If you would like to participate in IEEE Standards Entity Sponsor Ballot P1900.4.1 Title: Standard for Interfaces and Protocols Enabling Distributed Decision Making for Optimized Radio Resource Usage in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks you must enroll as a member of the ballot group by 09-Nov-2012, 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. ***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION ***** The IEEE Communications Society Society/Standard for Interfaces and Protocols Enabling Distributed Decision Making for Optimized Radio Resource Usage in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks invites you to participate in the New Sponsor Ballot for: P1900.4.1 Title: Standard for Interfaces and Protocols Enabling Distributed Decision Making for Optimized Radio Resource Usage in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Scope: This standard uses the IEEE 1900.4 standard as a baseline standard. It provides detailed description of interfaces and service access points defined in the IEEE 1900.4 standard enabling distributed decision making in heterogeneous wireless networks and obtaining context information for this decision making. Purpose: This standard facilitates innovative, cost-effective, and multi-vendor production of network side and terminal side components of IEEE 1900.4 system and accelerates commercialization of this system to improve capacity and quality of service in heterogeneous wireless networks. ============================================ OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BALLOTERS ============================================ IEEE-SA entity ballots allow for one vote per entity. An entity's vote is registered by its Entity Ballot Representative (EBR) or Entity Ballot Representative Alternate (EBRA). The Entity Member Representative (EMR) may serve as the EBR or EBRA if desired. The EMR also can determine who serves as the EBR or EBRA. If you are the first individual who affiliated with this entity for this ballot group, you will be considered the EBR. Your responsibilities will be to vote on the acceptability of a new or revised standard, or on the reaffirmation of a published standard, submitted by the IEEE Standards Sponsor. Once the document is ready to be balloted, you will receive a notification via email. You will typically have 30 days to review the document and return the ballot with your vote. As the EBR, you are agreeing to participate in this ballot and you have an *obligation* to respond. Failure to return a completed ballot may disqualify you from participating in future ballots. If you are the second individual who affiliated with this entity for this ballot group, you will be considered the EBRA. Your responsibilities will be to assume the draft document review and voting responsibilities of the EBR should the EBR be unable to do so. Comments from the EBRA are welcome. Any other individuals who affiliate with this entity will be placed on a wait list. The EMR may determine that an individual on the wait list should serve as the EBR or EBRA. ***** ENROLLMENT INSTRUCTIONS ***** Go directly to: https://development.standards.ieee.org/my-site/open-entity-ballot-invitations Or, follow this process: 1. Log onto myProject (http://development.standards.ieee.org/my-site), the IEEE Standards development system, and click the tab for "Entity." 2. Click the link for "Show/Join Open Ballot Invitations." 3. Scroll down until you find the open entity ballot group of interest to you. Then click the "join" link under the "Actions" column. 4. Key in or select an affiliation identified as an (Entity Member) from the drop-down menu, appearing as you type in your affiliation in the Affiliation window. Enter your Employer in the employer window. Select your classification category, and click OK at the bottom of the screen. You will then be taken to a page to ensure you have made the right choice. If you click "OK," you will be enrolled in the ballot group as the EBR. You will receive an on-screen confirmation that the entity with which you affiliated successfully joined the group. Note that if the organization that you represent does not display in the affiliation drop-down menu with an "(Entity Member)" designation, it means that your organization is not an IEEE-SA corporate member. If your organization wishes to participate in this ballot, your organization may join as an IEEE-SA Basic or Advanced corporate member and participate in an unlimited number of ballot groups, or may enroll in a single ballot by paying a per-ballot fee. 5. If someone else from your entity has already joined this ballot, you will be offered a chance to enroll as the EBRA. If you click on "OK," you will serve this role in this ballot. If you are interested in participating in this ballot but the roles of representative and alternate have already been assigned, you will be given the option to be put on a wait list. If you click "OK," you will be placed on the wait list. The EMR can shift ballot responsibilities among those indicating an interest in this entity ballot. ***** myProject QUESTIONS ***** For system questions, please go to the Help pages; or contact your IEEE Staff Liaison or the IEEE-SA Balloting Center at myBallot@ieee.org.
