Re: [802-20-GENERAL:] 802.20 Letter Ballot 2



Jerry,
 
Just a small detail.  In the instructions you gave below as well as the instructions available on the website, it says to include in the Subject Field of the email:
 
Vote-LB1-last name-first name-(yes, no or abstain)
 
Please clarify whether this should be "LB2" rather than "LB1" or if we should continue with the published instructions, as is.
 
Regards,
Victor

802.20 Recirculation Letter Ballot 2 Instructions

 

These instructions apply only for the 802.20 Recirculation Letter Ballot 2 (LB2) on 802.20 Draft 2.1. This is a recirculation ballot. Only areas of the draft that have changed, areas that are affected by areas of the draft that have changed or areas you voted “Do Not Approve” on are subjects of this ballot. 

 

If you have voted on Letter Ballot 1, you are not required to vote on this ballot. Your most recent ballot will be carried forward. If you wish to change your vote from your most recent ballot, you must respond to this ballot.

1. If you already voted "Yes" in the previous letter ballot, you do not need to vote again unless you want to change your vote. You may submit a "No" vote, but only based on text that was changed after you voted "Yes" or text that was impacted by text that was changed after you voted "Yes". 

 

2. If you already voted "No", and your comments were not resolved, you are kindly requested to analyze the revised draft and comment resolutions: Please vote "Yes" if all your concerns are resolved. Otherwise, vote "No" again and REPEAT the comments that were not resolved to your satisfaction, indicating why comment resolution is not acceptable to you. You may add additional comment constituting a "No" vote, but only based on text that was changed or text that was impacted by text that was changed. 

 

3. If you did not vote or you abstained on a previous letter ballot, you may vote this time with a valid vote or abstain again with a valid reason. Please vote YES, NO, or ABSTAIN by returning the letter ballot 2 via e-mail per the ballot instructions.

 

Important:  Follow the instructions. Failure to follow the instructions may result in your vote being discarded as an invalid vote due to an error or at the discretion of the WG Chairman. Letter ballots are an enormous amount of work for the leadership of the group. The only way to have this ballot processed accurately and in a timely manor is for voting members to cooperate and following the instructions.

The list of voters for this ballot is the same as the posted list of voters for the January 2006 Interim.

The ballot opens May 10, 2006 at 2359 Eastern Time US and closes 15 days later on May 25, 2006 at 2359 Eastern Time US.

 

Motion:  Move to forward Draft 2.1 of IEEE 802.20 to Sponsor Ballot.

 

To Vote:  YOU MUST Insert in the Subject field of the return email:

 

Vote-LB1-last name-first name-(yes, no or abstain)

 

(For example:  Vote-LB1-Shannon-Claude-abstain)

Submitting Comments:

To submit comments, the following instructions must be followed:

 

0)     Form:  The official ballot and comment form for Letter Ballot 2 must be used. This comment form is available at http://www.ieee802.org/20/private/LB2_BallotCommentForm.xls
Prior to attaching the completed Letter Ballot form to the e-mail, please rename the file by pre-pending your name to the file name as illustrated below: 
Last name-First name_LB_2_BallotCommentForm.xl (i.e. last name followed by a hyphen followed by first name followed by an underscore and the original file name)

1)     Names: In the header of comment response form, please fill in your name in the <First Name>, <Last Name> fields.  Do not use your initials or anything else.

2)     Clause Column: This is the section number of the draft that your comment applies to - e.g. 2.1 or 4.2.3.  If you have a comment that applies to the entire document put "General" in the section field. Don’t put “all”, “many”, “various” or any other word you may personally fancy. If the field contains anything other that a clause number or “General”, the comment will be discarded and your vote possibly invalidated.  If your comment relates to a table, place the clause in which the table resides in this column and not the table number.  Put only the clause number and not the words, e.g. “clause”.

3)     E/T Column: Please use an E or T only to indicate a technical or an editorial comment. Please use upper case only so things sort right when we get all done.  Incorrectly categorized comments will be re-categorized by the Working Group Chair.

4)     "Part of No vote” Column: If you say "no" in this column, we will feel free to skip that comment in terms of formally satisfying a "NO" vote. For any comment that is not part of your “NO” vote, mark it as "not part of a no vote" by entering “no” in the column. Any voter that votes “NO” should have at least one comment marked “yes” as part support for their “NO” vote.  Any voter that votes “YES” should not have any comments marked “yes” in this column.

5)     "comment/explanation" and "recommended change" columns: These are pretty self explanatory. If you do not recommend a change the comment may be skipped as you have not asked the group to do anything. Please keep the explanation of the comment separate from what you want done as a result of your reasoning. Please remember all “No” votes MUST be accompanied by comments that include specific reasons and enough information for the group to understand what you desire in order to change your “no” to a “yes”. Simply saying “not good enough” is insufficient as the task group cannot reasonably be expected to understand what would satisfy the commenter and so invalidation of the vote is justifiable.

6)     Draft line numbers: If you choose to include a page / line number reference in your comments, please do so by putting is as text at the start of your comment. Do NOT put this info in the section number field. The rational is that the page/line numbers are valid only for the balloted draft version.  The section numbers are more likely to still be correct in later versions.
