RE: [802SEC] Awards for Standards Work--move from opening plenary meeting to Wed eve social



Paul:
 
Most socials are worthless for getting any mindshare of attendees.  What we now have is hundreds of people talking most oblivious to something presentation going on.  The social environment does not lend itself to a receipient being recognized.  If we don't have time in the 802 plenary, perhaps have an 802 plenary slide listing the recognitions and then actually award the plaques in the WG meetings.

Subject: [802SEC] Awards for Standards Work--move from opening plenary meeting to Wed eve social

Dear SEC,
 
Instead of giving the awards out during the opening plenary, I am recommending we reserve time during the Wednesday evening social to issue the awards.  This will give the Chairs more time to honor those receiving the awards, as opposed to the rushed process we normally go through during the opening plenary meeting.
 
Any objections?
 
Regards,
