[802SEC] Please respond if you DISAGREE RE: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ EC_Membership_&_Meetings +++ Proposed Resoution Status



Title: +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ EC_Membership_&_Meetings +++ Proposed Resoution Status

Folks,

 

We had a comment resolution session tonight (poorly attended but productive).  We considered the issue identified below, and actually concluded much more was broken.  With regard to ‘when’ people sit at the EC table and are allowed to vote, we felt we are currently inconsistent, and overly complicated.  We decided on the following general guidance:

 

EC Members always acquire voting rights at the close of a plenary

EC Members who are appointed are ‘Acting’ till the close of the plenary where they are appointed

Even for filled vacancies, they do not become voting members until the end of plenary session

Appointed WG chairs hold office until the WG can hold Elections.

            Appointed chairs are acting chairs

There is no such thing as a WG CONFIRMING an appointed chair

            Appointed chairs are acting positions until a WG holds elections

            Even if the appointed chair runs unopposed, he is still elected, not ‘confirmed’

 

 

Accordingly I wish to replace:

 

EC membership, including all rights and responsibilities thereof, is acquired by Working Group/Technical Advisory Group Chairs upon appointment to the position of Chair of a Working Group/Technical Advisory Group and confirmation by the members of the Working Group/Technical Advisory Group; and for all other Executive Committee members when confirmed by the Executive Committee. 

 

With:

 

All appointed and elected positions become effective at the end of the plenary session where the appointment/ election occurs.  Prior to the end of that plenary session, such persons filling vacancies are considered ‘Acting’, and may be invited to participate in EC meetings by the LMSC Chair, but do not vote.  Persons who are succeeding someone that currently holds the position do not acquire any EC rights until the close of the plenary session.  . 

 

 

Also (under non-voting members) replace:

 

        Acting WG Chairs (appointed but not yet confirmed by WG)

With:

 

        Acting WG Chairs (appointed but not yet confirmed by WG)

        Other Acting positions (prior to close of plenary meeting where appointed)

Attached please find the updated P&P revision for your consideration.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS.

 

Thanks,

 

Mat

Subject: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ EC_Membership_&_Meetings +++ Proposed Resoution Status

 

Folks,

Yet another minor glitch has occurred to me while editing the ‘WG M&M” ballot.  Membership in the EC is conferred upon ‘appointed’ WG chairs upon confirmation by their WG.  So what is their status prior to that point?  I would suggest they are ‘acting’ WG chairs.  Accordingly, I do not think they have voting rights, but they do sit at the table with the rest of the EC.  Accordingly I’d like to add the following line in 7.1.2 under non-voting members of the EC:

        Acting WG Chairs (appointed but not yet confirmed by WG)

Please let me know if people feel otherwise.  I will also raise this issue briefly at P&P meeting tonight since in my mind it is more than editorial.

Thanks,

Mat
