Relevant Rules on Recirculation

This document outlines the recirculation rules outlined in the 802.11 Operating Rules, as explained by John Kowalski from Sharp Labs. It emphasizes that while there is no explicit requirement for recirculation ballots, the IEEE 802 Working Group operates under strict rules regarding the resolution of negative votes. Once a 75% approval is achieved, the majority's decision has to be honored and the standard published promptly. The document references relevant sections of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual for additional context on handling objections and comments.

  1. Relevant Rules on Recirculation John Kowalski Sharp Labs John Kowalski, Sharp Labs

  2. 802.11 Operating Rules • NO explicit requirement for recirculation ballot • However, (Section 1) “The 802.11 WG operates under the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802, LAN/MAN Standards Committee (ref. [rules3]) and the hierarchy of rules under which IEEE Project 802 operates.” John Kowalski, Sharp Labs

  3. Relevant text from 802 Operating Rules: “The Working Group Chair determines if and how negative votes in an otherwise affirmative letter ballot are to be resolved. Normally, the Working Group meets to resolve the negatives or assigns the task to a ballot resolution group. There is a recirculation requirement. For guidance on the recirculation process see Section 5.4.3.2 Resolution of comments, objections, and negative votes in the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual.” John Kowalski, Sharp Labs

  4. And, from Section 5.4.3.2in the IEEE-SA Standards Board OperationsManual... (http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect5.html#5.4) “Further resolution efforts, including additional recirculation ballots, may be required if additional negative votes (with new technical comments) result. However, once 75% approval has been achieved, the IEEE has an obligation to the majority to review and publish the standard quickly. Therefore, once 75% approval has been achieved, the IEEE requirements for consensus have been met. Efforts to resolve negative votes may continue for a brief period; however, should such resolution not be possible in a timely manner, the Sponsor should forward the submittal to RevCom.” John Kowalski, Sharp Labs
