All,
For those individuals who are not clear on the meaning of the word “affiliation”, here is a definition provided by a prominent dictionary:
af·fil·i·ate (…-f¹l“¶-³t”) v. af·fil·i·at·ed, af·fil·i·at·ing, af·fil·i·ates. --tr. 1. To adopt or accept as a member, subordinate associate, or branch. 2. To associate (oneself) as a subordinate, subsidiary, employee, or member: affiliated herself with a new law firm. 3. To assign the origin of. --intr. 1. To become closely connected or associated: The two unions voted to affiliate. --af·fil·i·ate (-¶-¹t, -³t”) n. A person, an organization, or an establishment associated with another as a subordinate, subsidiary, or member: network affiliates. [Medieval Latin affºli³re, to adopt : Latin ad-, ad- + Latin fºlius, son; see dh¶(i)- below.] --af·fil”i·a“tion n.

To all,
I note some problems with the minutes of the September 2005 meeting. These are:
1. The table of attendees is truncated after last names beginning with the letter S. If a last name begins with a T or beyond, that name is not listed as an attendee. I realize that that could happen naturally, but in this case, Jim Tomcik and Mike Youssefmir are in the minutes for seconding motions, but their names are not on the attendance list.
2. The affiliations of the attendees are not given in the table. I request that the affiliations of the attendees be shown. I refer all to the minutes of the 3rd 802.20 session (http://www.ieee802.org/20/WG_Docs/802.20-03-18.pdf). Page 3 of those minutes discusses member affiliations. There, it states: “Per ANSI essential requirements, (see Appendix B) if there is a request for identification of affiliation it shall be granted. Therefore we are requiring disclosure of affiliation in the sign in sheets. The ANSI rules apply since 802 does not have any exception speaking to this issue, 802 defaults to ANSI rules.” Appendix B of those minutes quotes the ANSI rule.
Thanks . . .
