All,
Adan Newman has sent an email out indicating that IEEE SA may have a webex solution for us. I have replied with some questions to allow us to ascertain whether their approach will meet our needs or not.
Therefore, I request that we proceed with the motion below and people vote, with the understanding that if passed the money would only be allocated, and not spent, until we resolve whether the IEEE SA solution will meet the needs of IEEE 802.

Subject: +++ Early Close 10-day EC Motion+++ Approval of funding for teleconferencing services
All,
Our chair, Paul Nikolich has delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot on the following motion to me and approved the corresponding early close.
Background
Our current webex licenses terminate Aug 12, 2020. With the recent COVID situation, we have received a quote has from Cisco that would provide 802 with 5 licenses (min requirement), each license capable of supporting 1000 participants, and Global Call Back Audio for a total annual cost of $2,160. Note ? this increases the total number of webex licenses 802 currently has from 4 to 5, increases the number of participants from 100 to 1000 per license, and decreases the cost from 2,577.60 to $2,160.
This was compared against Zoom, the other teleconferencing tool used by 802. The best Zoom option for 802 would be the ?Business? plan, which offers licenses at $200/year, with a min requirement of 10, each license capable of supporting 300 participants, and limited phone access globally (see below) for a total annual cost of $2,000.
Zoom Phone access - Zoom pricing includes a POTS dial-up option, dial-in numbers are not available in all regions. Notable omissions include mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, and Thailand. Participants in those areas could access the voice by built-in VoIP, or by dialing across a border. Zoom does offer an option of dial-up numbers in all countries, but the account holder is billed on a per-minute basis and the resulting charges are prohibitive.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Regards,
John D?Ambrosia
Recording Secretary, IEEE 802 LMSC
