Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 March 2012 Vision for the future I propose a focus on defining clear goals and effective processes Goals: Address market needs – driven by marketing input Limit the scope of what we authorize so it directly addresses these needs Processes: Avoid selection processes which result in “kitchen sink” outcomes. Rules: Continuous review. Challenge rules that are outdated. Responsive leadership: an expected response time for any management process (e.g. a guaranteed 2 days for releasing a ballot or 1 day for putting a draft on the server). Use technology when appropriate to avoid human error. Engage early and positively with IEEE-SA to ensure their tools meet the needs of our membership.
