Re: [802SEC] Early close on EC electronic motions



Pat

That is one option. Another is to put guidelines in the Chair's guide as to when it should be used.

Steve had a hard deadline that required an early close, hence it made sense to have an early close (although it was a very large document).

If we don't have a hard deadline, I don't think early close should apply.

Ideally, the Chair, when delegating an email ballot should specify:
 - Person to conduct the ballot
- Rule under which approval is sought (e.g., public statement, normal buisness)
 - Level of approval required (2/3 or majority)
 - Regular close or Early close and why.

These items should be in the ballot announcement along with the mover, seconder and motion text.

IMHO.

It seems like almost every EC electronic motion that has been made indicates it is using the early close provision.

Perhaps next time we revise the OM we should consider revising the text on EC electronic ballot to make the early close provision apply all the time.
