SRD Procedure Motion (pg 1 ofC802.20
4)
• Whereas it is the desire of the working group to complete the
System Requirements document by the end of the March meeting
and the SRD has gone about as far as it can go with the current
correspondence group process and most of the work remaining
needs to be completed by the working group. Therefore the WG
shall adopt the following process to review and approve the
System Requirements Document during session #7 in Orlando. It
is noted that adoption of this process will allow Immediate
motions and voting on the system requirements document text.
1. Review the section as presented in latest version of the SRD.
2. Consider additional contributions for that particular section
(section is defined as X.X.X)
3. Hold a brief discussion on each contribution. The idea is not to
debate the contribution but rather provide an opportunity for the
WG to consider the rational behind the proposed language.
Presentations are limited to 5 minutes and then the floor is open
for 5 minutes or the time required for one comment per person in
the discussion queue for questions.

SRD Procedure Motion (pg 2 ofC802.20
4)
1. Present a motion to the WG to vote on each
option as potential baseline text, there are two
cases for consideration
1. Only one option for the section
1. If there is only one option and it gets 75% approval
then this becomes the baseline text
2.If this fails then there will be another motion to remand
this section to an ad-hoc group for consideration.
3. If the motion to remand the section to an ad-hoc
group fails then there will be another vote on whether
or not this section should be dropped from
consideration by the WG. This motion must have at
least 75% of the members voting in favor to end
consideration of this section by the working group.

SRD Procedure Motion (pg 3 ofC802.20
4)
•
If more than one option exists for a section
1. Discuss pros and cons of the all of the various options
2. Consider revisions based on the pros and cons discussions.
3. Take straw polls on those (revised) options proposed by members
of the working group.
4. Consider additional options, if necessary, based on the straw poll
results.
5. Entertain motions to adopt an option or options that may obtain
75% agreement.
6. The option with the 75% of the vote will become the baseline
text.
1. If more than one option has 75% approval, the baseline text becomes
the one with the highest percentage of approval.
7. If no option receives 75% then consider motion to remand this to
an ad-hoc group. If that motion fails then there will be another
vote on whether or not this section should be dropped from
consideration by the WG. This motion must have at least 75% of
the members voting in favor to end consideration of this section
by the working group.

• The Chair of 802.20 shall establish ad-hoc
groups as needed, progress reports from
the working group leaders are due to be
presented to the working group ON

group will again follow the procedure
outlined above except that any sections that
do not have baseline text will follow the
process that the WG approves for handling
issues between meetings.
