IBIS members in good standing but unable to attend Friday, October 27, may
vote on the motions by email to IBIS Secretary Randy Wolff
(rrwolff@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:rrwolff@xxxxxxxxxx> ), until the roll call
vote takes place.
IMPORTANT: The motion to schedule this vote included a recommendation to
reject. From the October 6 minutes
<http://ibis.org/minutes/min2017/m100617.pdf> :
BIRD161.1: SUPPORTING INCOMPLETE AND BUFFER-ONLY [COMPONENT] DESCRIPTIONS
Michael Mirmak reported that much of the changes proposed by this BIRD are
now addressed by BIRD180 and BIRD184. He commented that the additional
changes would require too many edits, and this is not a critical BIRD for
IBIS 7.0. He recommended to reject this BIRD. Bob Ross thought there is
no hurry to vote on it. Walter Katz commented that if it is voted on and
rejected, we always have the document for reference. Michael stated he
plans to resubmit the idea of addressing complete vs. incomplete
[Component]s as a new BIRD.
Walter moved to schedule a vote on this next time with a recommendation to
reject. Radek Biernacki seconded the motion. There were no objections.
