Dear EC Members,

As mentioned in my 7 June 2021 email to the EC reflector (copied below) and further discussed during the 15 June 2021 802 restructuring ad hoc meeting, I will be conducting the 23 July 802 plenary closing EC meeting via in-person with one or more participants contributing via electronic means. In person attendance is strictly voluntary.

This complies with the 802 LMSC P&P 6.0 Meetings:

Standards Committee meetings may be conducted via electronic means or in-person or in-person

with one or more participants contributing via electronic means. Standards Committee meetings

shall be held, as decided by the Standards Committee Chair,...

As mentioned below, I will set up an IEEE HQ in the Ada meeting room and I invite anyone that may be interested to join me in person in Ada. This experiment will give us a chance to understand the pros/cons and challenges of holding a small scale meeting "in-person with one or more participants contributing via electronic means".

When you decide to attend in person or electronically, please let me know at least a week in advance of the meeting so that I may have staff prepare accordingly.

Regards,

--Paul

Subject: [802SEC] 23 July 2021 closing 802 EC meeting -- hybrid meeting experiment

Dear EC Members,

I have secured permission from the IEEE Executive Director, Steven Welby, to use a meeting room (probably the Ada room) at the IEEE HQ in Piscataway NJ from which to potentially conduct the closing EC meeting in a hybrid in-person/remote format. Mary Ellen Hanntz and SA's Central Services events staff to help organize the details with facilities and cafeteria (thank you Mary Ellen).

I expect us to learn from the experiment, pros/cons, value, etc., which we will use to help guide our decision making regarding bringing hybrid meetings to the general 802 population

I will set up at IEEE HQ for our meeting (it's easy for me, I live/work about 1 hour north of IEEE), I invite those that are interested and willing to join me on site for this experiment. I expect a few people may join me in person, 802ers as well as IEEE staff. I'll even try to arrange a post-meeting social gathering for those present to celebrate this small step back towards in person gatherings. The IEEE may even want to advertise it in general to show how 802 is taking a lead in migrating standards meetings back to 802's usual in-person format.

Regards,

--Paul
