Re: [802SEC] +++ 10 Day EC Email Ballot +++ IMT-Advanced press release



Roger,

I approve

with the presumption you will have the text reviewed and streamlined with Karen McCabe before release to the press.





Some examples:



1. Paragraph #1 reads

In a proposal to the Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R), IEEE has submitted a candidate radio interface technology for IMT-Advanced. The proposal is based on IEEE Project 802.16m(tm), the "Advanced Air Interface" specification under development by the IEEE 802.16(tm) Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access. The documentation demonstrates that the proposal meets ITU-R's challenging requirements in all four IMT-Advanced "environments": Indoor, Microcellular, Urban, and High Speed. The proposal will be presented at the 3rd Workshop on IMT-Advanced in Dresden on 15 October in conjunction with a meeting of ITU-R Working Party 5D.





Suggest you word the first sentence more directly with:

IEEE has submitted a candidate radio interface technology for IMT-Advanced to the Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).



2. The third sentence  begins...

The documentation demonstrates that the proposal meets ITU-R's challenging requirements....

 What documentation? It's not described anywhere so I doubt you need the reference.



Suggest this as an alternative:

The IEEE Project 802.16m(tm) proposal submitted meets ITU-R's challenging requirements.

To: 802 EC



Subject: Request to Approve IMT-Advanced press release



Dear EC Colleagues,



We are pleased to report that yesterday the IEEE 802.18 TAG and the

IEEE 802.16 WG, meeting in a Joint Plenary, approved a contribution to

ITU-R proposing an IMT-Advanced candidate based on IEEE 802.16. No

Disapprove votes were recorded from either 802.18 or 802.16. The

document that was approved (subject to any final editorial

adjustments) is available at <http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/#09_010X>.



We appreciate the hard work and cooperative spirit of all those

involved.



We would like to immediately introduce an 802 EC electronic ballot to

approve an associated press release. We therefore offer 10 day EC

motion, opening 25 September 2009 and closing October 5 2009 (11:59 PM

ET):



Motion:

"The EC supports the issuance of the press release in IEEE

802.16-09/0054 ('IEEE Proposes IMT-Advanced Candidate based on IEEE

802.16', <http://ieee802.org/16/docs/#09_0054>) by the IEEE-SA, with

editorial changes as deemed necessary."



Moved: Mike Lynch

Seconded: Roger Marks



Early close: As required in subclause 3.1.2.2 'Electronic Balloting'

of the IEEE project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations

Manual, this is notice that, to ensure that this release is provided

in a timely manner, this ballot may close early once sufficient

responses are received to clearly decide the matter. We will

appreciate your early response.



Regards,



Mike and Roger
