officially begins
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.

Information about working group motions and supporting documents can be

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)
