Re: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ compliance with IEEE-SA and IEEE CS Governance



Mat,

I've attached comments below.

I thought I'd submitted this before deadline, but
it seems that I made a mistake.

I'd still like to have these comments considered.

Roger

------------------------


I vote Disapprove. My ballot comments are:

[Comment 1]

I don't understand the note that says: "PreBallot
Comments (I believe these were accommodated in
the balloted wording of the text)." As far as I
can tell, the PDF under ballot does not
incorporate Geoff's comment, which would insert
"who meets the participation requirements." I
agree that this limitation should be inserted as
a descriptor of the individuals to whom the
rights apply. However, at the same time, I think
we should replace, rather than add to, the
descriptor that the draft uses: "with a direct
and material interest". There is nothing in the
P&P that limits participation to those "with a
direct and material interest". We don't have any
way to verify that, and we shouldn't.

Also, I would like to remove "which means that"
from that sentence, instead splitting it into
two. We shouldn't use the P&P to define "openness
and due process".

[Remedy 1] Change:

"For the development of standards, openness and
due process must apply, which means that any
individual with a direct and material interest
has a right to participate by:"

to:

"For the development of standards, openness and
due process must apply. Any individual meeting
the participation requirements defined herein:"

[Comment 2]

I think we should delete the last sentence: "In
addition to openness, due process requires
balance, i.e., the standards development process
should have a balance of interests and shall not
be dominated by any single interest category."
Within 802, we do not track interest categories,
and we shouldn't. These are tracked for IEEE-SA
Sponsor Ballot, but those rules are defined
elsewhere and don't need to be repeated in our
P&P. If we did leave this statement, we'd need to
qualify it so that it applies only to Sponsor
Ballot and not to Working Group draft development.

[Remedy 2] Delete "In addition to openness, due
process requires balance, i.e., the standards
development process should have a balance of
interests and shall not be dominated by any
single interest category."
