IEEE PAR
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN)
… wireless connectivity with fixed, portable and moving devices within or entering a Personal Operating Space (POS) (up to 10 meters in all directions enveloping a person)
… interoperability or coexistence with other TG
… coexistence with other wireless devices in conjunction with Coexistence Task Groups such as
… low complexity, low cost, low power
… >20Mbps to satisfy a set of consumer multi-media industry needs for WPAN communications.

January 2001
IEEE Voting Process (1 of 2)
a) for the voters, by ballot vote, to vote for one proposal or none of the above. (Voting record will be posted following the vote.)
b) the proposal (or proposals in case of a "tie") receiving the least votes is eliminated
c) the process continues with a vote as in "a" and "b" eliminating proposals one by one
each time the number of proposals in the eliminating process has been reduced to four and two a panel discussion shall be held with the remaining proposers as panel members. The length of discussion shall be limited to 15 minutes times the number of remaining proposals. Discussion shall be limited to voting members and the presenters (or their designate).

January 2001
IEEE Voting Process (2 of 2)
d) when one proposal is left the voters shall vote (roll call) for the proposal or none of the above and the proposal shall be required to achieve a 75% majority in order to be submitted to the working group as a recommendation. If the remaining proposal fails to achieve a 75% majority, the members who voted "no" shall be requested to state why they voted no and what would be required to change their vote to an affirmative vote. The proposer shall have an opportunity to respond to the concerns of the no voters. After which a roll call vote will be taken to approve the proposal.
e) if the last remaining proposal fails to receive 75% majority, the process shall begin again with the proposals remaining after 50% were eliminated.
