Continuation A SG is authorized from plenary session to plenary session. If the SG has not completed its work within that time, a request must be made to the WG for an extension for up to additional 6 months. A request for SG extension is voted upon at an 802.11WG closing plenary meeting. Study Group Operation SGs follow the operating procedures for TGs specified above in section 4.7, with the exception of voting as detailed below. Study Group Meetings SG meetings held as part of an 802.11 WG Plenary or Interim sessions count towards 802.11 WG voting rights. Voting at Group Meetings Any participant attending a SG meeting may participate in SG discussions, make motions and vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR and CSD). A vote is carried by 75% of those present voting or “Approve” “Disapprove.” NOTE—the 802 LMSC WG P&P sets a threshold of 75% for all in a study group, regardless of the type of that vote. This takes precedence over the usual Robert’s Rules of Order thresholds for procedural votes. Reporting Group Status Progress of the SG is presented at the closing 802 EC meeting of each IEEE 802 plenary session by the WG Chair. 802.11 Standing Committee(s) Function The function of the 802.11 Standing Committee (SC) is to perform a specific function as defined by the WG Chair. Membership Participants from the 802 .11 WG make up the SC membership. Formation The Chair of the WG has the power to appoint SCs when enough interest has been identified for a particular area of study within the scope of 802.11 WG. To determine that sufficient interest has been identified, the formation of the SC shall be ratified by a simple majority of the WG. Continuation SCs are constituted to perform a specific function and remain in existence until the specific function is no longer required at the WG Chair’s discretion. Standing Committee Operation SCs follow the operating procedures for SGs specified section 5 of this document.
