This record is usually made using the IMAT attendance system. –If you wish to participate without recording attendance, send an email per session to the WG 2 nd vice chair declaring your participation and affiliation. You cannot gain or maintain 802.11 voting membership using this method. You must record 75% attendance of eligible 802.11 slots in a session for that session to count towards gaining or maintaining 802.11 voting membership –You need a single IEEE-SA web account The IEEE SA web account requires a working email address do not remove your email address from the account –Use the email address associated with that web account when registering attendance If you change email addresses, update the web account, don’t create a new web account, or your membership status may not be calculated properly –Record attendance using this URL: https://imat.ieee.org/attendancehttps://imat.ieee.org/attendance

There’s a link on the 802.11 home page during the ballot. The mechanism we will use to collect votes/comments is the ePoll mechanism provided by the IEEE-SA. –Use either individual comments or the template.csv spreadsheet provided. –Can also supply comments using.xls format –You will need to sign in using your IEEE-SA web account –Last ballot (LB187) was successful – people seem to be getting used to the technology quickly. If you are new to writing comments or comment resolutions, please see document 11-11/1625. September 2013 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 18
