9. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 9 Requesting Voting Membership Members who are Nearly Voter must request to become a Potential Voter at least 14 days before a plenary session. Membership will be granted at the start of the next plenary session – i.e. they will start with a voting token. –Have to record attendance for at least one 802.11 slot to demonstrate presence at the meeting. I will send out a reminder to Nearly Voters to request voting membership in time to meet this deadline Request membership using the online form: –http://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.htmlhttp://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.html

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 10 Voting member changes NOTE--When a ballot closes within 14 days of an 802.11 session, any changes in voting member status will be applied after the session –We have to provide list of voting members to meeting organizers 14 days before the session

12. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 12 Ballots

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 13 Which Working Group Ballots Can I Vote On? There are two types of Working Group letter ballot: Mandatory and Recirculation All voting members vote on Mandatory Ballots –Check the voters list for that ballot (link in the instructions) and contact the Balloting Coordinator if in any kind of doubt –With each ballot we see some non-voting members attempt to vote Only those members who were voting members at the time of the first successful ballot (i.e., > 75%) of a recirculation series can vote in recirculation ballots of that series –The voting pool is fixed for the lifetime of the series –The list of voters in the pool is published with each ballot (link in the instructions) –Those in the pool only need to vote to change their vote, or to supply additional comments, otherwise the previous vote is carried forward –With each ballot we see some who are not in the pool attempt to vote Summary: Check the voters list linked to in the instructions for each working group letter ballot to see if you can vote

14. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 14 Loosing Voting Membership due to Ballots According to the current 802.11 rules, voting membership is lost by not responding to 2 out of 3 consecutive mandatory ballots This rule is present to ensure that members respond to most ballots –Otherwise many ballots would be in danger of failing due to less than 50% return Since this rule was introduced, we sometimes run two mandatory ballots to finish close together –A single point of failure can loose voting membership –See some active members loosing voting membership Can we do better? –Change integration time of rule to > 3 ballots or some time period –12 mandatory ballots in 2007, 15 ballots in 2008 Discussion

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 15 Provide comments in format required The 802.11 letter ballot instructions document clearly states that comments must be provided using the comment template file (spreadsheet). This allows the composite spreadsheet to be compiled without manual cut and paste In the last two ballots ~10 members supplied comments using the single comment feature of the tool –Unfortunately we cannot disable this feature Notice - In future ballots these single comments may be marked invalid –I will try and notify any offenders before a ballot closes, but it is the duty of the voting member to read and comply with instructions rather than rely on me checking up.

16. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 16 Use your secret 802.11 ID for voting The number used for 802.11 electronic ballots is your secret 802.11 voting ID – it is NOT your badge number –This number is assigned locally by 802.11 –It will never change, and will never be published –I have sent you an email with this number in it If you loose this number, ask me and Ill send it again In the last 2 ballots ~6 voters used the wrong ID

31. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 31 Reflector Requests There is an email reflector for the working group, plus one for each task group. Access to the reflector is limited to those who are members with status: aspirant, nearly-voter, potential- voter, voter. To change your access, visit the reflector request page: http://www.ieee802.org/11/Reflector.html http://www.ieee802.org/11/Reflector.html –Gathers information and sends an email to Vice Chair Or, use the self service options described in: http://www.ieee802.org/11/Email_Subscribe.html http://www.ieee802.org/11/Email_Subscribe.html –Gathers less information and sends an email to the Vice Chairs

32. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0018r0 Submission January 2009 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 32 Reflector Caveats The LISTSERV system removes an entry from a email reflector list if it gets repeated bounces. The WG officers (Jon Rosdahl) monitor these events and try and fix what we can. If you change email address – please let me know. I will perform a global change to the list servers. If you receive no email from STDS-802-11 for a couple of weeks, suspect that something is wrong and contact me.
