Advantages/Disadvantages of Passing/Failing Letter Ballot March 2009 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/XXXr0 March 2009 Advantages/Disadvantages of Passing/Failing Letter Ballot Advantages Disadvantages Passing Letter Ballot You enter “re-circulation” so subsequent votes are 15 days and voters can only add comment each time on parts of the Draft that have changed or been affected by changes. The voting pool is fixed and no new people joining 802.11 can vote. You must resolve every comment by a ¾ vote. You can only change the draft through the resolution of comments. Failing Letter Ballot You are free to make whatever changes in the Draft the task group wants. Your next Letter Ballot must be at least 30 days and will include everyone in the 802.11 Working Group at that time and they can comment on any part of the Draft.
