[802SEC] Proposed revision to the IEEE 802 LMSC P&P

["James P. K. Gilb" <000008e8b69871c2-dmarc-request@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG>]

All

I am proposing the following revision to the IEEE 802 LMSC P&P to be 
submitted to AudCom and SASB for approval.  The goal is to allow us to 
change the OM and WG P&P by electronic ballot with 30 day notice (I had 
hoped to get this approved in March, but alas, we could not hold the 
plenary).

Proposal: Add a new clause, 11, at the end of the IEEE 802 LMSC P&P with 
the following contents:
------------------------
11.0 Revision of Standards Committee Inferior Rules

Revisions  to IEEE 802 LMSC Operations Manual and IEEE 802 LMSC Working 
Group Policies and Procedures shall be submitted by an IEEE 802 LMSC 
member to the IEEE 802 LMSC no less than 30 days in advance of a motion 
(or conclusion of an electronic ballot) to approve the proposed 
revision.  Amendments in response to comments on the proposed amendment 
are permitted. Insufficient time to consider complex amendments is a 
valid reason to vote disapprove. A motion to revise either document 
shall require a vote of approve by at least two thirds of all voting 
members of the LMSC.  If approved, the revisions become effective at the 
end of the meeting where the votes were taken or at the conclusion of 
the electronic ballot in which they were approved.
-----------------------------

Some comments:
 - Members of the Standards Committee, i.e., LMSC members are the 
members of what we used to call the Executive Committee.
 - 30 day notice in our current P&P is prior to the motion or 
conclusion of an electronic ballot.
 - We use the word "revision" instead of amendment for the proposed 
changes.

I will ask the Standards Committee Chair to hold any electronic ballot 
to approve this beginning April 20 and ending April 30 (30 days after 
this proposed revision).

In the mean time, we can consider amendments to this proposal so that by 
April 19, we have text that can achieve the 2/3 approval.

For reference, in the current LMSC P&P states:

10.0 Revision of Sponsor P&P

Revisions to these P&P shall be submitted to the Sponsor no less than 30 
days in advance of a motion (or conclusion of an electronic ballot) to 
approve them. Amendments in response to comments on the P&P are 
permitted. Insufficient time to consider complex amendments is a valid 
reason to vote disapprove. A motion to revise the Sponsor P&P shall 
require a vote of approve by at least two thirds of all voting members 
of the Sponsor.
