9. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 9 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

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 10 Current Status

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 11 Warning to pay attention to ballots Membership is lost by not responding to 2 out of 3 consecutive mandatory ballots. –Recirculation ballots are the only ones that are not mandatory Some reasons for loss of membership discovered: –Left response to the last moment then got distracted –Left response to the last moment and then got the date wrong –Email filter rule move reflector messages to a folder that is not checked –Emails ignored –Didn’t realize that voting was mandatory –Never joined the STDS-802-11 reflector –LISTSERV removed address from STDS-802-11 Repeated bounces, e.g., invalid address, mailbox full

12. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 12 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 will 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. Questions?

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 13 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 after each session Request membership using the online form: –http://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.htmlhttp://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.html

14. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 14 Change of numbering systems The number on your badge will be changing from an identifier administered by F2F events, associated with your registration data to one administered by IEEE-SA, associated with your IEEE- SA web account. –We expect a few initial troubles. If you are a voting member and do not have a voting token, see me at the end of this meeting. The number we are going to use for all future 802.11 electronic ballots will change. –This number is assigned locally by 802.11 –It will be used new ballots as well as for recirculations of current ballot series –It will never change, and will never be published –I will send you an email with this number in it – record this somewhere! If you loose this number, ask me and I’ll send it again

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 15 Attendance Procedures A 3-step process: (once) Register for an IEEE-SA web account (once per session) Register on Murphy (once per slot) Record attendance at a specific meeting 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.

25. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 25 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 have attended at least one IEEE 802.11 session. 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 2 nd 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

26. doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0827r1 Submission July 2008 Adrian Stephens, Intel CorporationSlide 26 Reflector Caveats The LISTSERV system removes an entry from a list if it gets repeated bounces. The WG officers monitor these events and try and fix what we can. –Get daily reports from each list, including about 10 addresses on average causing problems –I check each removed address against the list of voting members and look for alternate known email addresses 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.
