30.7. Chair: I’ll recess the meeting for a couple of minutes.

30.8. Chair: There are 236 allocated, and there are 12 available, with 6 reservations.

30.10. C: I don’t mind having the extended element ID instead.

30.11. C: No, I meant re-using an existing ID.

30.12. Move to instruct ANA to assign a legacy element ID for the Estimated Service Parameter Information element.

30.12.5. For: 10, Against: 17, Abstain: 81 (Motion fails)

30.13. C: I’d like to amend the motion please.

31.1. This presentation discusses an element ID allocation for UPSIM.

31.2. Q: Are existing implementations assuming this allocation already?

31.3. A: It should say ‘future’ on the slide, as opposed to ‘Feature’.

31.4. C: So, it shouldn’t really matter whether it is an element ID or an extended element ID

31.5. Move to instruct ANA to assign a legacy element ID for the UPSIM element.

31.5.1. Moved by: Payam Torab, Seconded by: Alecsander Eitan

31.5.2. C: I don’t think this is necessary

31.5.3. C: This element does not currently exist.

31.5.4. For: 19, Against: 10, Abstain: 61 (Motion passes)

31.5.5. C: Is the chair asking whether members feel that it is procedures or technical

31.5.6. Chair: Are you appealing to the chair’s ruling?

31.5.7. C: yes.

31.5.8. Move to appeal the chair’s ruling.

31.5.9. (Note: This motion if passed means that the original motion was technical, not procedural, as stated by the chair)

31.5.9.1. Moved: Mark Rison, 2nd; Stuart Kerry.

31.5.9.2. Chair: I believe that the motion was asking someone to perform an action.

31.5.9.3. C: I believe that the motion was asking for a technical decision about the allocation of a 1 or 2 octet.

31.5.9.4. C: However, most of our motions tend to ask someone to do something and follow the format of the original motion.

31.5.9.5. C: I call for orders of the day.

31.5.9.6. Chair: Will you give me the indulgence of asking the question first?

31.5.9.7. C: yes.

31.5.9.8. For: 16, Against: 42, Abstain: 20 (Chair’s decision not sustained)

31.5.10. Chair: So the previous motion needs to be now reconsidered as a technical motion. Therefore, that motion fails.

44.2.3. Moved: Stephen McCann on behalf of the TGaq

44.2.4. For: 51, Against: 0, Abstain: 3 (Motion passes)

45. Ballot abstain reasons (11-16-0223r1)

45.1. VC2: This is about the issue regarding abstain reasons during ballots.

45.2. Q: Thank you for the useful background material. On the very last bullet on slide #25, I think you should add ‘at the chair’s discretion’ to clarify that point. I think that’s how other WG chairs operator.

45.3. Chair: yes, the chair does have discretion, but I believe I only use discretion for family and medical emergencies etc, as opposed to someone’s technical worth.

45.4. C: I certainly appreciate it, but it’s more to put that concept on the slide. I think in some of the other groups the chairs operate more by discretion.

45.5. VC2: I would note that the rule says ‘may be lost’, so some flexibility is allowed.

45.6. C: Sure. I just want to point out that there is no ‘hard’ rule as stated on the slide.

45.7. C: One consequence of this, is that ballot results are skewed as many members just vote ‘yes’ to avoid the consequences of not voting or not providing a real abstain reason. The abstain reason for ‘lack of expertise’ has some stigma associated with it, so people tend to vote ‘yes’ instead. I would therefore like to consider extending the abstain reason and see if there is support in the group.

45.8. C: This discussion has come up before. The counter argument is that the whole WG should review a draft document even if not working in that area, as opposed to abstaining for something like ‘lack of time’.

45.9. C: I think that the issue of false positives (i.e. yes, as opposed to abstain) doesn’t really affect the overall process. I think the drafts are still receiving a reasonable amount of attention and comments.

45.10. C: We should perhaps look at the pass criteria for early drafts, which appear to achieve the 75% approval level with the first versions, which are usually of rather poor quality.

45.11. Chair: Let’s have a straw poll to consider the intent of the group.

45.12. C: There’s also another aspect to consider from the report, about other WGs which leave voting status alone for all letter ballots on a single draft. In other words, their voters are maintained for the life of a project.

45.13. Chair: Yes, that is a degree of freedom that we could consider.

45.14. C: ok, so that’s what I meant by maintaining voting rights earlier. I also think that additionally, comment collections and re-circulation ballots don’t affect voting rights.

45.15. Chair: yes, that is correct for both aspects.

45.16. Straw poll: Should an “abstain” for reasons apart from “lack of technical expertise” be considered a valid to maintain voting status?

45.17. Y: 34

45.18. N: 4

45.19. A: 9

45.20. Chair: So, we now need to consider a mechanism to potentially change the current ruling within the IEEE 802 EC.

45.21. C: how far back do you need to go to the last 6 initial letter ballots.

45.22. Chair: I’m not really sure, but it’s probably a few years.

45.23. VC1: I think we forget that the question within the letter ballot says “send the draft to sponsor ballot”? Therefore a “yes” vote may be interpreting this question literally.

46. Modification of the agenda

46.1. Move to modify the agenda to add “Allocation of legacy Element ID for UPSIM”

46.1.1. Chair: Is there any objection to do this.

46.1.2. None seen and the agenda is modified

46.1.3. Move to instruct ANA to assign the number 200 for the legacy element ID for the UPSIM element.

46.1.4. Chair: this number was previously allocated to TGaf. It was not published.

46.1.5. C: I have spoken to the former TGaf editor who has confirmed this.

46.1.6. Moved: Matthew Fischer, 2nd: Mike Montemurro

46.1.7. Q; Is this the same element as on Wednesday?

46.1.8. A: Yes.

46.1.9. C: Is this substantially different from the motion on Wednesday?

46.1.10. A: It’s a different motion, but on the same Element ID.

46.1.11. C: It’s up to the chair’s discretion, as to whether we are re-visiting the topic.

46.1.12. Chair: I rule this in order, as I think this motion substantially different. As mentioned earlier, this was a reserved ID, which was never used. Therefore I think it’s a safe re-use of the old number.

46.1.13. C: Is this a technical or procedural motion.

46.1.14. Chair: It is a technical motion.

46.1.15. For: 14, Against: 4, Abstain: 26 (Motion passes)

47. Wireless Chairs Meeting

47.1. Chair: This will be at 4pm on the Sunday 15th May 2016. If you are interested in the activities of the IEEE 802 wireless WGs, please come along.

48. May 2016 Meeting (11-16-0216r3 slide #25)

48.1. Chair: Please remember that the next Interim meeting is at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, Waikoloa, HI, USA from May 17-22nd 2016. Meeting registration is now open https://802world.org/apps/session/96/register1

48.2. Chair: Please note that the TGaj interim for the following week has now been cancelled, as they will now be meeting in Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA with the rest of the IEEE 802.11 membership.

49. Adjournment

49.1. Chair: having exhausted the agenda, the meeting is adjourned.
