[802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot: Motion to Suspend the Rules regarding advance notice for an EC meeting+++ Ballot Fails

[Paul Nikolich <paul.nikolich@att.net>]

Dear EC Members,

 

As of 7AM ET 26APR2013, enough votes have been cast to decide on the motion. It failed. 

 

The motion required a 2/3 approval majority (10) of voting EC members (15).  The ballot has received 5 approves (Das, Rosdahl, Mody, Heile, Lynch), 7 disapproves (Marks, Thaler, Jeffree, D'Ambrosia, Law, Gilb, Kraemer) and 3 did not vote (Chaplin, Shellhammer, Nikolich).

 

I note that all the those disapproving did not object to holding the EC teleconference less than the 30 day notice defined in our P&P.  That means we had at least 13 EC members (I'm including myself) that would have liked to have the teleconference.  This is a strong indicator we need to figure out a way to implement a policy which allows us to conduct EC meetings at short notice.  James will be working on that for July.

 

Lastly, since the motion failed we will have an EC teleconference 30 days from when I notified the EC of the intent to hold an executive session teleconference (in my 22APR2013 email to the EC reflector).  This would put the call on Wednesday 22MAY2013.  My suggestion is to hold the call 1PM-2PM ET.  Please confirm you can make it.

 

Regards,

 

--Paul

Subject: [802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot: Motion to Suspend the Rules regarding advance notice for an EC meeting+++

Dear EC Members,

 

I am  conducting an EC email ballot on the motion with a provision for an early close per 4.1.2 Voting Rules in the IEEE 802 Operations Manual.  A 2/3 majority of voting EC members will be required for the motion to pass as per RROO.  The ballot opens 23 April 2013 and will close upon receiving enough votes to clearly decide the matter. Please cast your vote promptly.

 

Motion:

I move to suspend the rules which interfere with the EC's ability to hold a Sponsor meeting on less than 30 days notice and 14 day agenda distribution to allow an EC teleconference to be held Tuesday 30 April.

Moved: Mike Lynch

Second: Bob Heile

 

Regards,

 

--Paul
