Context and Introduction
Tgac Selection Procedure (doc 09/0059r4) foresees a Taskgroup vote with 75%+ approval vote on the Spec Framework document
Selection Procedure specifies creation of Ad Hoc groups after the Spec Framework has achieved a 75% Approval
Taskgroup needs to decide what process to follow to achieve over 75% approval of the Spec Framework
This document describes a set of Process Alternatives for discussion

5. Process Alternatives Block by Block Taskgroup voting

Process Alternatives
July doc.:IEEE /0836r0
Block by Block Taskgroup voting
Sufficient agreement and Taskgroup vote around Core Minimum proposal and block by block Taskgroup voting for additional functional blocks
Discussion on additional functional blocks likely to take place in Ad Hoc groups
Single Taskgroup vote on a complete set of Functional Blocks
Discussion and proposal creation in Ad Hoc groups, voting on Ad Hoc group proposals in entire Taskgroup - Topic Allocation Up front - Additional topics require Taskgroup Procedural vote (50%+)

High Level Evaluation of the Options

Process Alternative
Pros
Cons
1. Block by Block Taskgroup Voting
Full vetting of all possible technologies
Probably Takes too long to have TG deliberations for each Functional block
2. Core Minimum TG vote , + Per Block Additional TG votes
Focuses debate on contentious issues that require resolution
Likely to speed up process
Technologies that are not part of Core Minimum likely to face increased scrutiny
3. Single TG vote on ‘Complete Spec Framework’
Can speed up the process
High risk that no sufficient support level can be achieved
4. Ad Hoc Groups to Create Proposals, Task-group to Vote on Ad Hoc Group Proposals
Relatively efficient and comprehensive vetting of possible technologies
May need to update Selection Procedure document
This alternative may not achieve sufficient support in the Taskgroup

7. Proposed way forward Discuss Process Alternatives with Taskgroup
Month Year

July doc.:IEEE /0836r0
Proposed way forward
Discuss Process Alternatives with Taskgroup
Identify potential additional alternatives
Strawpolls in Taskgroup about Preferred Alternative
Motion in Taskgroup about Decision Process
Decide on whether Selection Procedure needs to be modified
