Re: [802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot+++ Motion for Network Equipment Upgradesl+++ends 19 August 2005

["Rigsbee, Everett O" <everett.o.rigsbee@BOEING.COM>]

John,  I believe the motion gives permission to acquire the 802.11a modules and direction for us to come up with a proposal for how to proceed on encouraging 802.11a usage (whether it is FREE or not) and certainly your option would be one of those considered.  Whatever we come up with for the latter the EC will have a final review and approve before we do anything.  

So let's complete the motion and then explore our options for encouraging 802.11a usage.  

Thanx,  Buzz

I'm not sure there's a mechanism for this now that the ballot is out but... Can we hold off on this a few days?

I have a potential source for FREE APs. I'm trying to determine with Tim, whether they would measure up to his standards. They are A/B/G's, SNMP manageable, etc... but the devil's in the details.

And best of all they will be FREE! ! !

Can I have a few days to look into this?

(the budget needs all the help it can get).

john

P.S. If this offer for FREE APs doesn't come to pass, I still have some reservations (even though I agreed to second). I would want to see a budget (no blank checks please) and I still have reservations about giving away wireless cards (again, budget, and liability concerns).

Dear EC Members,

This is a email ballot to make a determination on the below motion.

Motion: 
"Whereas our Network Manager, Tim Godfrey, has recommended that we proceed with acquisition of the 802.11a modules for our Cisco 1200 APs that are not currently so equipped, and that we make an effort to encourage our attendees to migrate to 802.11a for reduced congestion:  
 

I move that we proceed to acquire those additional 802.11a modules (20), and further that we investigate a promotional deal to encourage more of our attendees to upgrade to Tri-Mode (802.11b, 11g, 11a) interface cards, which would also allow us to regulate client transmit power levels in dense configurations.  Terms of deal will be reviewed with the Network Services Advisory Committee, and presented for final approval by the 802 EC prior to implementation." 


Moved: Rigsbee
Second: Hawkins

The ballot opens 7PM ET Sunday 24 July 2005 and closes Friday 19 August 2005 
2005.

Regards,

--Paul Nikolich
