4.1.2 Voting rules
At times, it may become necessary for the Sponsor to render a decision
that cannot be made prior
to the close of one plenary but must be made prior to the opening of the
following plenary. Such
decisions may be made using electronic balloting. Provision shall be made
for the IEEE 802
LMSC membership to observe and comment on Sponsor electronic ballots. All
comments from
those who are not members of the Sponsor shall be considered. Commenters
who are not
members of the Sponsor are urged to seek a Voting Member of the Sponsor
(normally their WG
or TAG Chair) to include the viewpoint of the commenter in their
vote.
The Sponsor Chair, or a Sponsor member designated by the Sponsor Chair
(usually a Vice
Chair), shall determine the duration of the ballot, issue the ballot by
e-mail and tally the votes
after the ballot is closed. Sponsor Voting Members shall return their
vote and comments by
e-mail.
The minimum duration of an electronic ballot shall be 10 days1. For
urgent matters once
sufficient response is received to clearly decide a matter, the ballot
may be closed early. This
allows a decision to be reach in less than 10 days. Ballots where the
possibility of an early close
exists must be clearly marked accordingly. Otherwise, the tally of votes
shall not be made until at
least 24 hours after the close of the ballot to allow time for delivery
of the e-mail votes.
