Dear EC Members,

At the IEEE 802.3 January 2017 interim meeting the IEEE 802.3 Working
Group accepted a request from ODVA to form a liaison and to appoint
David Brandt, employed and affiliated with Rockwell Automation, as
the Liaison Officer
<http://ieee802.org/3/minutes/jan17/incoming/ODVA_to_IEEE_802d3_Liaison_Request_Jan_2017.pdf>.
As stated in the letter ODVA <https://www.odva.org/> is an
international standards development and trade organization whose
mission is to advance open, interoperable, information and
communication technologies for the automation of industrial
processes. ODVA is committed to the adoption of
commercial-off-the-shelf and standard, unmodified Ethernet to the
extent possible.

According to item (u) of subclause 3.4.1 'Chair' of the IEEE 802 LMSC
WG P&P <http://ieee802.org/PNP/approved/IEEE_802_WG_PandP_v19.pdf>
one of the responsibilities of the Working Group Chair is 'To
maintain liaison with other organizations at the direction of the
Sponsor or at the discretion of the WG Chair with the approval of the
Sponsor'. Based on this I requested an EC email ballot to seek
approval of the liaison.

Paul has therefore delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot
on the following motion to me. As approval of a liaison isn't
specifically listed in Clause 7 'Approval of an action' of the IEEE
802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Policies and Procedures this
motion requires a majority to pass under subclause 7.1.1 'Actions
requiring approval by a majority vote' item (h), 'Other motions
brought to the floor by members (when deemed in order by the Sponsor
Chair)'.

Thanks and best regards, David
