SUO: IEEE Message
All,
Below is a back-channel message regarding a motion of the IEEE
Standards Association Board of Governors. I was advised by the Chair of
the IEEE Standards Board to wait for this to come through proper channels,
so I would have an avenue to ask questions or raise issues. I have now
received word through proper channels that I should consider the below
message as the official notice, so here it is.
This message makes reference to a legal opinion, which was sent to
me in paper-only. I've asked a number of times for a digital copy and just
asked again, which I'll forward when I receive it.
I will now start to figure out how to handle this situation from my
role as chair. I'll try to post something by Monday.
Please post your thoughts and opinions.
Jim Schoening
Chair, IEEE P1600.1 Standard Upper Ontology Working Group

Hi Jim:
Following is the IEEE-SA Board of Governor's action taken regarding P1600.1
The IEEE-SA BOG concluded at their November meeting that the recent ruling
by Dorsey and Whitney, IEEE legal counsel, should be upheld. At the
IEEE-SA BOG meeting, the group unanimously approved the following motion
regarding P1600.1:
There was a motion and second by Dennis Bodson and Don Loughry as follows:
The IEEE-SA BOG considered the inquiries of the IEEE 1600.1 working group
and the opinion of 7 November 2001 offered by Dorsey and Whitney and
concurs with and reaffirms the opinion stated. Therefore, the IEEE-SA BOG
directs the IEEE-SA Standards Board to inform the P1600.1 working group
that it is required to re-ballot its initial deliberation, based on the
requirements outlined in the aforementioned letter.
Further, the IEEE-SA BOG encourages the IEEE-SA Standards Board to instruct
the IEEE P1600.1 working group on the principles of consensus in the
working group processes.
Upon vote the motion was unanimously approved.
This action will be carried out before the end of 2001 and is offered as an
information item to the IEEE SASB. The IEEE SASB is encouraging the
IEEE-SA BOG to take action to clarify this issue of all working groups.
Language will be developed for approval at the February BOG meeting.
