[STDS-802-16] Fwd: [802SEC] Working group ballot of P802/D1.3



Dear 802.16 Participants,

The 802.1 Working Group is conducting a ballot on a significant revision of IEEE Std 802 (Overview and Architecture). The ballot announcement is below. The deadline is 3 Feb.

You are welcome to submit comments, regardless of your membership in the 802.1 WG. I encourage you to review the document and to comment.

Regards,

Roger

Subject: [802SEC] Working group ballot of P802/D1.3

NOTE: ALL BALLOT RESPONSES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE NEW BALLOT RESPONSE LIST:

   STDS-802-1-ballot@listserv.ieee.org

PLEASE!

***NOTE that as this ballot will be soliciting comments from the other 802
Working Groups as well as from 802.1, the closing date has been extended
beyond the normal 30 days in order for it to be possible for the other WGs
to consider comments during their Interim meetings in January.***

This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Working Group ballot form for
P802-REV/D1.3 - Overview and Architecture. As this is a full Working Group
ballot, only 802.1 voting members and liaisons are entitled to vote;
however, any non-voting participants in the activities of 802.1 may submit
a "Comment Only" ballot on the draft. In accordance with established
practice in 802 and the IEEE, all comments received, whether from voters or
non-voters, are given due consideration during the Ballot resolution
process.

NOTE: As this is a formal WG ballot, if you vote "Approve" you are stating
that, in your professional opinion, you consider the document to be
technically complete, and ready for Sponsor ballot (i.e., the document is
essentially ready for publication, apart from final editing for style,
etc.). Hence, sending in an "approve" ballot response within a small number
of minutes of the ballot start time cannot possibly mean that the voter has
given the document the level of professional consideration necessary to
make such a judgment. I believe the record so far was less than 10 minutes
between posting the draft and ballot announcement, and receiving the first
"Approve" - and that was on a document that contained Editor's notes
indicating areas where work needed to be done!

The 802.1 voting members that are entitled to a vote on this ballot are as
follows (NOTE: for a WG ballot, the voting population is fixed at the start
of the ballot, and does not change during any subsequent recirculation
ballots, regardless of any membership changes over the course of the
balloting cycle):

[snip...]

It should be noted that the ongoing retention of 802.1 voting rights is
predicated on active participation in Working Group ballots.  Active
participation is defined to be returning ballot forms in two out of the
last three Working Group ballots. The 802 Operating Rules allow abstention
for any cause other than "lack of technical expertise" to be treated as
though it were a failure to respond to a ballot. 802.1 applies this rule.

The closing date of this ballot is:

        3rd February 2012

The PDF file of P802-REV/D1.3 can be found at:

http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/802-REV-drafts/d1/802-rev-D1-3.pdf

Comments should be made against the version of the draft above.

If you have any difficulty downloading or reading this file, let me know.

As is normal with such ballots, comments should specify not only what
problems have been identified with the text, but also what the commenter
proposes as a solution.

Any comments accompanying the ballot must be presented using either of the
templates to be found here:

http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/commenting-tool/MyBallot-tools/

Comments can be generated using Excel or an equivalent spreadsheet program
that will read XLS or CSV format files. Attach the resultant file, in XLS
or CSV format, to your ballot response email.
