P1788: Motion P1788/M0002.01_ProcessStructure open for VOTE
P1788 working group members
I hereby open the stated motion for voting, until March 28.
(Although Dominique Lohez proposed two changes or amendments,
these were not seconded, so they have not been included.)
I am following our voting tabulator's (George Corliss) suggestion
for procedure for processing of position papers, as follows:
During the voting period, the motion is not subject to amendment.
A registered Voting Member may vote
"Yes"
"No"
"No," but propose an amendment that would cause the voter to
vote "Yes." The proposed amendment shall include detailed
wording and rationale. Such "No" votes on position papers
are NOT motions to amend. The purpose is to influence
other voters.
Of course, anyone may make any statements they wish, but those are not
votes.
All votes on position papers will be public.
The mechanism for voting is a
message broadcast to stds-1788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The ideal vote is
Subject: Motion P1788/M0002.01_ProcessStructure YES (or NO)
Body: YES (or NO and proposed changes)
Name
A registered Voting Member may change her/his vote at any time during the
voting period simply by broadcasting a fresh voting message.
A registered Voting Member is NOT removed from the roster for not voting, as
is the case for not voting on the proposed standard itself.
A position paper requires a "Yes" vote by 2/3 of the registered Voting
Members to pass. A quorum is 2/3 of the registered Voting Members. If
necessary to achieve a quorum, the Voting Tabulator may solicit further
votes, in which case, all not-yet-voted registered Voting Members shall be
solicited equally.
The entire procedure (from proposal of the position paper to
final adoption) will soon be posted at the official P1788
web site, at
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1788/
For convenience, I append the motion. If you have not
retained a copy of the actual position paper, it can be
found in the private area of the above web site. If you
need the user ID and password for the private area, please
send me an email.
Sincerely,
R. Baker Kearfott
Acting Chair, P1788
