Re: stds-802-mobility: RE: 802.20 Nominations and Elections
Dear Tony:
Your rationale is not correct:
qualifying ( at least 75%) participation in a meeting that did not take place is
reached if one participated at least 75% x 0 hrs= 0 hrs. So, for non-existent
meetings qualifying participation is achieved by everyone in the IEEE universe.

If you take the 802 membership rules as stated, and ignoring for the moment
the issue of when during the first meeting of a WG an attendee might gain
membership, then you reach the amusing conclusion that anyone that gains
membership as a consequence of participation in that first meeting must
necessarily lose membership again immediately, by application of the rule
that states that to maintain membership in a WG, you need qualifying (>75%)
participation in the last 2 Plenary meetings (where one Interim can be
substituted for one of the plenaries). As the WG has only been in existence
for 1 plenary by that time, this condition is, by definition, impossible to
meet. Hence, as far as I can tell, continued voting membership after that
inaugural meeting requires the use of the Chair's discretion to give voting
rights outwith the provisions of the rules.
