Bruce, I approve. Steve From: ***** IEEE 802 Executive Committee List ***** [mailto:STDS-802-SEC@ieee.org]
On Behalf Of Bruce Kraemer Dear EC, During the November plenary 802.11 provided drafts of two press releases approved by the 802.11 WG and associated with projects moving into publication. The IEEE 802.11ac (Very High Throughput in the 5GHz band) standard was published on December 18, 2013 and the approved press release went out January 7, 2014 coinciding the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The second of the two projects is 802.11af (WLAN operation in TV White Spaces) which is due for publication within 30 days. The attached press release has gone through further refinement by IEEE PR and Interproser and is now ready for approval. Paul has authorized me to conduct a 10 day eballot on the motion below. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Motion for 10 day ballot:
Start of ballot: Friday 25th of January 2014

The EC approves release of the 802.11af publication press announcement after notification of publication.

Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting Rules' of the IEEE project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee
(LMSC) Operations Manual (v15 As approved 19 July 2013) , this is notice that this ballot may close early once sufficient responses are received to clearly decide a matter.

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. ---------- This email is sent from the 802 Executive Committee email reflector.
