Warning to pay attention to ballots
• Membership is lost by not responding to 2 out of 3 consecutive mandatory ballots.– Recirculation ballots are the only ones that are not mandatory
• Some reasons for loss of membership discovered:– Left response to the last moment then got distracted– Left response to the last moment and then got the date wrong– Email filter rule move reflector messages to a folder that is not
checked– Emails ignored– Didn’t realize that voting was mandatory– LISTSERV removed address from STDS-802-11
• Repeated bounces, e.g., invalid address, mailbox full

Reflector Caveats
• The LISTSERV system removes an entry from a list if it gets repeated bounces.
• The WG officers monitor these events and try and fix what we can. – Get daily reports from each list, including about 10 addresses on
average causing problems– I check each removed address against the list of voting members
and look for alternate known email addresses
• If you change email address – please let me know. I will perform a global change to the list servers.
• If you receive no email from STDS-802-11 for a couple of weeks, suspect that something is wrong and contact me.
