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 in time to meet this deadline
• Request membership using the online form:– http://www.ieee802.org/11/Voter.html

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:– Was too busy– 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.
Bug in spam filter.– 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

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 may 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?

Change of numbering systems• The number on your badge has changed 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.– 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 now using for 802.11 electronic ballots has
also changed – it is NOT your badge number – it is your new secretsecret 802.11 ID.– 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 have sent you an email with this number in it
• If you loose this number, ask me and I’ll send it again• A the last ballot ~10 voters used the wrong ID

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
– Gathers information and sends an email to Vice Chair
• Or, use the “self service” options described in: http://www.ieee802.org/11/Email_Subscribe.html– Gathers less information and sends an email to the Vice Chairs

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.
