`

`
`

`Moved by Naftali Chayat, Seconded by Chris Zegelin.
`
`No discussion on the motion.
`Motion on the floor for vote
`Motion passes: 47/2/10
`
`
`
`Complaint from 802.11 member John Cafarella, (complainee) was received by the 802.11 chair, with the
`request to submit to the SEC. A joint informal meeting with ExCom chaired by Paul Nikolich and some of the
`802.11 members was held on Sunday evening, July 5, 1998 at the Hyatt and started at 7PM. The meeting lasted until
`8:30PM. After hearing the compliant, the group recommended that attending members of 802.11 to sharply
`formulate a resolution action and forward to the formal opening of the Monday July 6,1998 ExCom meeting. The
`summary is as follows:
`
`1) Review the legality of stopping and resetting the TGb vote
`
`- The events that took place at the May meeting were probably legal and the complainee withdraws his first
`request.
`2)
`
`Investigate whether 802.11 is currently being dominated by a group.
`! Consider that
`! Each voting member can ask for a roll call vote
`! At the chairs discretion, a vote can be recalculated with a weight of one vote per company
`attending; the vote for a company will be cast per the simple majority for that company.
`! Greatly differing results from the two voting calculations will cause the chairman to raise the
`issue to the executive committee.
`! With this or similar fair test for non-dominance, the complainee withdraws his second request.
`
`
`
`CD-ROM in November IEEE Standards Association does not get the revenue budgeted. There are plans to
`remedy, by withdrawing the agreement to give 802 the CD-ROM.
`
`
`
`Student Registration fee: Some discussion whether or not to give a 50% discount, NO IPF fee, as an
`exception for people contributing to our work. There was a concern about an influx of students and fee increases in
`general.
`
`MOTION: To decline to offer discounts to students. Moved by Chris Zegelin, Seconded by John Cafarella
`
`No discussion on the motion.
`Motion on the floor for vote.
`Motion 3 passes: 41/1/7
`
`4. Review of Contributions: The list of document submissions were reviewed by Cherry Tom. They include:
`98/246r2, 98/246a,98/261, 98/263, 98/264, 98/265, 98/266, 98/267,98/268, 98/269,98/259, 98/260.
