Motion P1788/M0008.01_Exception_Handling: 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 Friday, November 27, 2009.  The motion is listed in
attachment to this message, and may also be obtained from
the private area of our working group web site, at

http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1788/

(Contact me if you need a password to the private area.)

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/M0008.01_Exception_Handling 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 a majority of registered Voting
Members to pass.  A quorum for position papers
is half 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.


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)
