[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Fw: Clarification of Entity-based participating/voting rules.

I can see why people were riled up about this. What happened to IEEE's famous "openness"?
We did not have as much participation as we would have liked even last time.
Now we will have much less...

Hi, all,

The following email from the Chair of the DASC, our sponsor, indicates that once the WG and sv-* groups start functioning, we will need to limit attendance, and voting rights and privileges, to employees/representatives of SA member entities. Please encourage your entities to become members.

Hi,

As most of you now may know, the IEEE Standards Association (SA) has established a new two-tiered membership structure. This new structure is outlined here: http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/corp_overview.html. The upshot of this new policy is that for all Entity-based IEEE WGs (including, of course, all DASC Entity-based WGs) only representations of Advanced SA member Entities may make motions, vote and so forth. Representatives from Entities with Basic SA membership may only attend meetings as an observer, but there is no limit to the numbers of meetings at which they may hold such an observer status. Representatives of non-SA member Entities may only attend a single meeting of a WG as an observer.

There was some question whether these rules applied to only the "highest level" of a particular WG. Could, for example, a particular Entity-based WG establish a task force that had looser attendance/voting rules? The answer from the IEEE is 'no'. Specifically, I was told wrt Entity-based (Aka "Corporate-based") WGs: "Corporate membership rules apply to all WG activities and that includes any subcommittees, task forces, etc. formed by the WG."
