SUO: Appeal #2:
ATTN: Lowell Johnson, Chair, CS SAB:
I appeal this directive because the process used to arrive at it
violated the requirements of Openness and Due Process. IEEE and the
Computer Society have an appeals process, but it was not followed for this
matter. Bob Spillers raised the issue of how to computer a majority (with
respect to a vote on commencing work on the SUMO starter document), and
IEEE-SA BoG directed the specific vote be retaken. Bob did not put in an
appeal, but his request was taken up and acted upon as if it were an appeal.
This agenda item at this meeting of the IEEE-SA BOG was not announced and
the meeting was not open. Stakeholders, including myself, were not given
the opportunity to present their views. This directive should not stand
because of this gross violation of Openness and Due Process.
Resolution: I will withdraw this appeal if the IEEE-SA BoG withdraws this
directive.

Chair, P1600.1 SUO WG

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.
