Dear Naftali,
Thank you for your thought inputs on the agenda.
However, my view is that it is an unfair burden to schedule a two day recess at the Plenary. Having people wait for a status of the letter ballot for two days when the status can be sent by email seems a poor use of peoples time. The ballot does not close until midnight Wednesday. Given the expect number of comments and possible last minute ballot returns, a status would not even be possible until the sometime on late Thursday afternoon. It is not clear what work would the group do based upon a summary status. I am sure we will need a recirculation of the ballot.
Therefore I will not amendment the agenda and extend the time.
Regards,
Jerry Upton
Chair, 802.20

Dear Jerry,
I am a bit surprised by the fact that the agenda of 802.20 terminates on Tuesday. Since the ballot closes on Wednesday, I believe that Thursday (which is still within the IEEE802 plenary meeting date range) should be spent on discussing the outcome of the ballot, its implications and planning of next steps. Even if the outcome of this ballot would have been known in advance (which I assume is not) it would still be more appropriate to take actions related to the ballot outcome after the ballot, not before.
My recommendation would, therefore be:
1) add to the agenda (on Thursday) the topic of actions and planning related to the ballot outcome
2) schedule meetings for the whole week, and if you run out of work, take the Tuesday and Wednesday off.
Best Regards,
Naftali Chayat

Subject: [802-20-GENERAL:] Corrected High Agenda for March Plenary & Contributions due Feb 24
All,
I corrected the High Level Agenda for the March Plenary that was posted earlier.
My apology for the typing errors.
The Working Letter Ballot closes at midnight on Wednesday during the plenary. Given that timing and the lack of other business, I assume we will have a short session.
Contributions are due February 24, 2006.
.
Regards,
Jerry Upton
