[802-20-GENERAL:]
Arnie:
As it appears right now, no one representing
Motorola will be able to attend the January 2008 802.20 interim. I will advise
if things change.
BR,
Val
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.
Arnie Greenspan
Chair 802.20
