Re: [802SEC] New IMAT beta test at 802 Wireless Interim in Atlanta
Recognizing the desire of some users to facilitate recording of partial
attendance in IMAT, a suggested course of action is:
- Document the requirements and rational
- Requirements and rational approved by IEEE 802 EC
- Requirements and rational approved by IEEE-SA Governance
- Identify Funding
- Based on the requirements, determine the cost
- Identify the budget
- Project is scheduled by IEEE (contingent upon funding/budget)

Christina,
Another "me too" from me. The group that I chair (802.18) allows attendees
to obtain credit in their home groups by attending 802.18. In many cases
they attend when documents from their WG are being presented and again
when votes are being taken on those documents. Yes, it is possible for
someone to be a valid 802.18 voter and also a voter in 802.xx.
The system needs to support attendance that is "split" between 802.18 and
any other WG that has agreed to that process.
Regards,
Mike

I agree with Pat, that not only have we requested, it is required by the
rules.
Who made the decision not to implement this required feature?
