does not count as YES).&amp;nbsp; This may or may not be appropriate for this
group, but some clearly stated procedure is required.
&lt;p&gt;Since there have been several statements that the IEEE is silent about
voting procedures in this type of group, as a separate matter I will propose
a set of voting rules for the group's consideration, comments, revision,
etc. If the group can come to a general agreement on a particular procedure,
then I will move that they be formally
adopted.&amp;nbsp;&amp;
