IEEE 802 WG Voting Membership

• All persons participating in the initial meeting of the Working Group become voting members of the Working Group.

• Thereafter, voting membership in a Working Group is established by participating in at least 75% of the meetings of the Working Group at two out of the last four Plenary sessions. Membership starts at the beginning of the third Plenary session attended, providing the 2 out of 4 rule is satisfied. • One duly constituted interim Working Group Meeting may be substituted for the Working Group meetings at one of the two Plenary sessions • Members of the Working Group who have not achieved voting status are known as observers. Liaison members are those designated individuals who provide liaison with other working groups or standards bodies.
