Re: [802SEC] Heads up on agenda item on formalization of the wireless chairs meeting

[Pat Thaler <pthaler@BROADCOM.COM>]

The EC has already created standing committees for relationships with other standards groups and no one questioned the ability to do so last meeting when one was created for the IETF relationship.

Adrian-

 

If that is the case, then...

 

You should prepare slides for showing during your EC presentation that you feel allow for this.

 

That will hopefully put that issue to rest.

The alternative would be that someone expresses doubt,

You aren't fully prepared to deal with that issue,

The motion is tabled while interested parties research the rules

Yada, yada.

 

Better to be prepared to have the discussion sooner rather than later.

 

Best regards,

Hello Geoff,

 

The tiger team felt that the rules for a standing committee of 802 already exist.  This would be another instance of that.

 

The wireless chairs standing committee would have its own OM,  but strictly the chair of the standing committee gets

to decide procedure,  subject to the agreement of its members.

 

This is the position to a first approximation.   Of course,  we might discover exceptions that do need to be handled in

the EC rules or OM somewhere.  If you have some thoughts on what these might be,  please say so,  as this would be

an input to our meeting on Sunday.

 

Best Regards,

 

Adrian P STEPHENS

Adrian-

 

It would seem that your proposed package is not complete.

 

It should also include the necessary proposed changes to the by-laws and/or the ops manual so that there will be provision in our P&P for such entities

 

Best regards,

Dear EC,

 

This is a heads-up about agenda items for the July opening and closing plenaries.

 

The wireless chairs meeting fulfils two purposes:  1.  Planning of logistics for wireless interim meetings,   2. operation of .11/.15 joint treasury.

There are some rules formalizing the second,  but not the first.

 

A number of us from the wireless chairs meeting have been working on a framework to formalize the meetings.

The benefits of doing this are as follows:

1.       A more documented process to follow,  with more visibility of its operation through posted agendas and minutes.

2.       It creates a process with a traceable chain of authorization,  in order to satisfy IEEE indemnification requirements.

 

The status is as follows:

·         The concept was discussed in May at the wireless chairs meeting,  and a tigerish team (BobH, JamesPKTWG, BenR, myself) was formed to work the details.

·         The tiger team is evolving the formal framework.  Attached is the latest version.

·         This framework will be discussed at the July Wireless Chairs meeting (Sunday),  and depending on the outcome,  motions will be brought to the EC.

 

The crux of the framework is that the Wireless Chairs become a subcommittee (Standing Committee) of the EC,  and the 802.11/.15 joint treasury becomes a subcommittee of the Wireless Chairs meeting.  A new standing committee requires a chair to be appointed by Paul and confirmed by the EC.

 

Thus we (the tiger team) expect to bring the following items to the EC agenda:

1.       Information item describing the purpose of a proposed new standing committee (Monday)

2.       Motion Internal requesting formation of the standing committee (Friday)

3.       In the expectation that Paul appoints a permanent chair,  a Motion Internal seeking confirmation of this appointment. (Friday)

 

Best Regards,

 

Adrian P STEPHENS
