Steve,
That works as long as the chair that is being asked to grant the
membership must respond favorably.

Mike,
So that would involve changing the wording in the motion
From
"That all voting members of the 802 EC shall have voting rights in all
IEEE 802 WGs and TAGs"
To
"Any voting member of the 802 EC shall be granted membership upon
request to the WG/TAG chair, in any IEEE 802 WG/TAG"
Does that wording work better for you and other members of the
EC? If the wording makes it more acceptable to the EC members, I would
be willing to make a motion to amend. Once I hear if the wording works
better for those who have concerns, I can then make such a motion.
Regards,
Steve

Steve,
I don't want to screw up your quorum requirements at interims or for any
ballots given the likelyhood of my having anything useful to say on your
work approaches zero. One might argue that is the case in general, but
that is a different issue :-)
If the wording is that all EC members may become a member of any WG/TAG
upon request (feel free to wordsmith) I'd be more comfortable, since
then I can just join whatever groups I feel qualified to vote in by
asking the chair for membership.
cheers,
mike
