March 2009 Member Status Graphic Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Requesting Voting Membership March 2009 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.html Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Voting member changes No changes since last report March 2009 Voting member changes No changes since last report 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 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Current Status March 2009 Data as of 2009-02-24 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 Ballots Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Which Working Group Ballots Can I Vote On? March 2009 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 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Loosing Voting Membership due to Ballots March 2009 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 At the January 2009 meeting, there was a clear consensus to change to rule to “4 out of 6 consecutive mandatory ballots” This change will be made immediately (i.e., starting with the next mandatory ballot) It is believed that the change meets the intent of the original rule (which was to limit the speed at which a voting member could be dismissed, but gave the chair discretion to keep voting members in that status ). A submission has been written to explain this to the EC 11-09/0265r0. Haven’t yet seen an EC response to this, and we are subject to their rules. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Provide comments in format required March 2009 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. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Use your secret 802.11 ID for voting March 2009 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 I’ll send it again In the last 2 ballots ~6 voters used the wrong ID Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 Attendance Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 Recording Attendance It is a requirement that attendees register, in order that a correct record of attendees and their disclosed affiliations can be recorded in the minutes. You must record 75% attendance of eligible 802.11 slots in a meeting for that meeting 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 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Documentation Generally March 2009 Documentation Generally Document Numbers are obtained from the mentor web site https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents Uploading Documents Can only be uploaded to the mentor web site https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents Downloading Documents All documents are updated on the local server from mentor When retrieving document please follow the instructions in the previous pages and obtain all documentation from the local server. This will keep traffic at a lower level on the external links. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Document server functionality changes March 2009 Document server functionality changes Administrator (i.e. WG Vice chair) can rename submissions on the server (title and/or affilitiation details) “Skip to DCN” was hard to use effectively It has been replaced by a “filter by DCN” box Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 Email Reflectors Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 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 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 Gathers less information and sends an email to the Vice Chairs Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 TGad Reflector TGad reflector has been set up and populated from the 802.11 reflector. Members who don’t want to be on that reflector should use the self service method to remove themselves. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

March 2009 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. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
