Re: [802.15_GENERAL] How to join sponsor ballot pool
All
One more mistake. I was reviewing the Standards Board balloting rule
and it says: "Even if IEEE-SA membership status changes during the
balloting period or recirculation period, there shall be no change to
the voting status of the balloter with respect to that ballot."
Thus, if you join the SA at the start of the ballot, you don't have to
continue to pay the membership fee to stay in the pool.
Also, for US members, the SA membership fee is equivalent to the IEEE
membership fee ($165) plus the addition for SA membership ($38). The
price for IEEE membership for individuals in other regions is less, see
http://www.ieee.org/web/membership/Cost/dues.html for more information.
