Abstract / This document contains the draft of a down selection procedure to be used by TG4b.
Purpose / General information for the group.
Notice / This document has been prepared to assist the IEEE P802.15. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.
Release / The contributor acknowledges and accepts that this contribution becomes the property of IEEE and may be made publicly available by P802.15.
The procedure for proposal selection for TG4b shall be:
That the presentation of the proposed solutions be limited to 60 minutes including discussion. Discussion shall be limited to voting members and the presenters or their designate, unless unused time remains and the chair agrees to allow others to participate in the discussion.
Presenters may discuss merging proposals at any time during the meeting.
Before the start of the down-selection procedure each presenter will be given 10-minutes to review their proposal.
The down-selection shall be conducted:
a) By vote, to vote for one proposal or none of the above. Votes will be taken among voting members of the IEEE 802.15 working group present at the meeting only.
b) The proposal (or proposals in case of a "tie") receiving the least votes is eliminated.
c) The process continues with a vote as in "a" and "b" eliminating proposals.
d) Each time the number of proposals in the eliminating process have been reduced to four and two, that a panel discussion shall be held with the remaining proposers as panel members. The length of discussion shall be limited to 10 minutes times the number of remaining proposals. Discussion shall be limited to voting members and the presenters or their designate unless unused time remains and at the discretion of the chair.
After each vote and before a panel discussion the chair may allocate 30 minutes for proposers and presenters to discuss mergers and improvements.
Confirmation vote:
e) When one proposal remains, there shall be a vote either in favor of the proposal or for none of the above. The proposal shall be required to achieve a 75% majority in order to be submitted to the working group as a recommendation. If the remaining proposal fails to achieve a 75% majority, the members who voted "no" shall be requested to state why they voted no and what would be required to change their vote to an affirmative vote. The proposer shall have an opportunity to respond to the concerns of the no voters. After which another vote only including the NO voters and anyone wanting to change their vote will be taken to approve the proposal.
f) if the last remaining proposal fails to receive 75% majority, the process shall begin with the proposals remaining after at least 50% were eliminated.
