3. 802.15 Rules to Retain Voting Rights
12 May 2008
Rules to Retain Voting Rights
Participate in 2 of the last 4 plenary sessions.
An interim may substitute for one of the 2 plenary sessions.
Ref. …
In theory - after initially establishing voting rights – you can maintain voting rights by attending every 3rd IEEE802 meeting (i.e. every 6 months … which means you’d alternate between attending a plenary and an interim).
