James – I am ok to second as well. However, I wonder if we are reading too much of the administrative process into the motion, though with the second sentence (Technical Editors who want access to these licenses will contact the IEEE 802
LMSC First Vice Chair, who will determine the distribution of the licenses.”)
Would it not be sufficient to simply say:
“The IEEE 802 LMSC authorizes the purchase of Framemaker subscription
licenses with a cost not to exceed $3000 for a time period not to extend
past December 2022, to be administered by the IEEE 802 LMSC First Vice Chair.”
Or even to leave off the whole ‘to be administered’ clause?
That way, if, for example, you want a WG to do traffic control on your requests, and delegate some control – you can.
Just a thought, but in general we are authorizing the expenditure here – not really specifying the allocation process. I’m OK either way, but prefer less process in the motion.

We had an experiment with purchasing yearly Framemaker licenses to
support our editors. It seems to have gone well and IEEE SA has said
that they are willing to reimburse us for our costs going forward.
Our current license term expires 9/2/2021.
In August of last year we passed the following motion:
========
The IEEE 802 LMSC authorizes the purchase of Framemaker subscription
licenses with a cost not to exceed $3000 for a time period not to extend
past December 2021 as a test. Technical Editors who want access to these
licenses will contact the IEEE 802 LMSC First Vice Chair, who will
determine the distribution of the licenses.
=============
For this year, I would like to propose the following motion:
===========
The IEEE 802 LMSC authorizes the purchase of Framemaker subscription
licenses with a cost not to exceed $3000 for a time period not to extend
past December 2022. Technical Editors who want access to these licenses
will contact the IEEE 802 LMSC First Vice Chair, who will determine the
distribution of the licenses.
============
Before I run a 10 day ballot, I would ask for any feedback on the motion
and/or edits.
Thanks.
