Re: [802SEC] Amended P&P text for Roll Call Vote Rules Change




Buzz,

I agree with you.

In the end, people make their own decisions, and the remainder
of us get to grouse after the fact.

The chair, WG, EC and so on up the chain will be forced to
distinguish if complaints and ultimately appeals get launched
based on things chairs do (or don't do). This has happened
in the past, and will happen in the future. The goal in
my mind is to try to insure the process is not just open and
fair, but seen to be open and fair.
