All:

I am pleased to announce that the EC approved two important motions at the closing EC meeting of the Atlanta plenary. The two motions are attached. One of these motions requests that the Standards board utilize a voting approach similar to that directed to be used by 802.20 in the Sponsor Ballot. The second motion advances the 802.20 draft to Sponsor Ballot.

I would like the members of the 802.20 to now let me know if they want to go to the January interim. If the SASB acts quickly it is possible that 802.20 will have comments from the sponsor ballot to address in January. If there are delays, the January work load will consist of work on the two new PARs that we agreed to develop in Atlanta and work on the update to the P&P of 802.20. I/we must decide quickly as regards meeting at the January interim due to registration deadlines. I am therefore asking the membership as a straw poll(everyone votes) to please let me know if you want to attend the interim recognizing that the work load might not include comment resolution. On the other hand if the SASB acts quickly and we do not proceed to the interim the opportunity to deal with comments from the sponsor ballot will be delayed till March.
In my view the risk of losing the opportunity to address comments in January makes the choice of 802.20 attending the prefered choice. However I did want to share with the working group the issues and ask your guidance in this straw vote.
Please respond to me at greenspana@bellsouth.net and let me know your preference by Tuesday 20 November 5:00 PM Eastern (New York) time. I will announce the results the same day and based I the results will announce if 802.20 will meet.

Chair 802.20
