Re: Motion P1788/M0050:EDP-Without-CA: voting period begins (= motion 50)



This is motion 50 in the
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1788/private/Motions/AllMotions.html

As I understand it ..
A motion (47) to require  both EDP and CA failed.  6 Yes, 30 No.
This motion (50) requires EDP but recommends CA.

I think that many of the arguments already presented in motion 47 are relevant
even if CA is merely recommended. I repeat just one of them.

Regardless of the possible arguments for or against EDP as a computational tool,
adding a functionality which has neither interval inputs nor interval outputs and appears to require
a data object (extended accumulator) not otherwise present in the standard, seems gratuitous in the
context of an interval standard. 

So I vote No.
