Motion P1788/M0005.02_Table_of_operations voting period officially begins

[Ralph Baker Kearfott <rbk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

P1788 members:

The formal discussion period for this motion has ended, and the
formal voting period has begun.  Votes may be cast until the
end of Thursday, September 3, 2009.  The motion is listed below.

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 should be public.  The mechanism for voting is a
message broadcast to <stds-1788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.  The ideal vote is
Subject: Motion P1788/M003.01_Set_of_reals YES (or NO)
Body: YES (or NO and proposed changes)
Name

The Voting Tabulator shall count as a vote any message in which the intent
is clear.

Please contact me (rbk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) if you need the user ID
and password for the private area.


A registered Voting Member may change her/his vote at any time during the
voting period simply by broadcasting a fresh voting message.

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 motion text is as follows:

===============================================================
I submit the document "Arithmetic operations for intervals" written
by Ulrich Kulisch as a formal motion (motion 5) to be voted upon.

The document gives the definition of the arithmetic operations for
intervals in a way that is simple to read, simple to understand, and
simple to implement. It is short and understandable and to the point.
It should be adopted as a basis for the future work of IEEE P1788.

The document is enclosed as a PDF document (4 pages) to facilitate its
reading.
===============================================================

William:  Please record this transaction in the minutes.

Juergen: Please update the status on the web page.

Best regards to all,

Ralph Baker Kearfott
(vice chair, P-1788)
