To follow up on Bob Loves earlier e-mail there will be a motion at the
next meeting dealing with the process for resolving the remaining
sections. Note that there are changes from Mr. Loves e-mail in the way
that the WG will process sections that do not meet the 75% rule during
the first review of the SRD.
The text of the motion is shown below for your consideration.
Whereas it is the desire of the working group to complete the System
Requirements document by the end of the March meeting and the SRD has
gone about as far as it can go with the current correspondence group
process and most of the work remaining needs to be completed by the
working group. Therefore the WG shall adopt the following process to
review and approve the System Requirements Document during session #7
in Orlando. It is noted that adoption of this process will allow
Immediate motions and voting on the system requirements document text.
1) Review the section as presented in latest version of the SRD.
2) Call for additional contributions for that particular section
(section is defined as X.X.X)
3) Hold a brief discussion on each contribution. The idea is not to
debate the contribution but rather provide an opportunity for the WG
to consider the rational behind the proposed language. Presentations
are limited to 5 minutes and then the floor is open for 5 minutes or the
time required for one comment per person in the discussion queue for
questions.
4) Present a motion to the WG to vote on each option as potential
baseline text, there are two cases for consideration
a. Only one option for the section
i. If there is only one option and it gets 75% approval
then this becomes the baseline text
ii. If this fails then there will be another motion to
remand this section to an ad-hoc group for consideration.
iii. If the motion to remand the section to an ad-hoc group
fails then there will be another vote on whether or not this section
should be dropped from consideration by the WG. This motion must have
at least 75% of the members voting in favor to end consideration of
this section by the working group.
b. If more than one option exists for a section
i. A vote will be taken on each option in the section
ii. The option with the 75% of the vote will become the
baseline text.
a. If more than one option has 75% approval, the
baseline text becomes the one with the highest
percentage of approval.
iii. If none of the options considered has 75% approval then:
a. If there are 3 or more options then the WG
will hold another vote on the two options with the
highest percentage approval
iv. If neither one of the two top options passes the 75% threshold
then there will be a motion to remand the option with the highest
percentage to an ad-hoc group for further development. Obviously the
option with the highest percentage approval becomes the working text
for the ad-hoc group and the other options will be dropped.
ii. Here again if the motion to remand this to an ad-hoc group fails
then the process that outlined in a.ii.
4) The Chair of 802.20 shall establish ad-hoc groups as needed,
progress reports from the working group leaders are due to be
presented to the working group ON THURSDAY MARCH 18TH.
The working group will again follow the procedure outlined above except that any sections that do not have
baseline text will follow the process that the WG approves for
handling issues between meetings.
END OF MOTION...
If by 3pm on Thursday the WG has not voted to approve the SRD, then there will be an additional motion to adopt the latest consensus version as the baseline document and to require further work on the document via a WG
ballot circulation using the 802.16 software tool.
Assuming that the 802.16 process is adopted then WG will take the
output from commentary and make changes to the SRD at the May 2004
meeting. Only comments submitted within Commentary or comments related
to changes proposed by the WG will be considered at the next working
group meeting.
Attached is flow chart version of what is described above.
