[STDS-802-11] Working Group ballot of P802.1AC/D1.0
--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
Dear 802.11 members,
Voting members of 802.11 have an opportunity to participate in the 802.1 working group ballot of P802.1AC - Media Access Control (MAC) Service Definition.
This is optional. Please respond only if you are willing to give the draft due diligence. Please do not respond if you wish to abstain with no comments.
Notes:
1. 802.11 participation in the ballot will also use the 802.1 process described below. This is different from the usual 802.11 process. If you want to respond, please read carefully and follow the instructions below, otherwise you might be wasting your time.
2. 802.11 participants can use the 802.11 private area credentials to access the P802.1AC draft.
3. The ballot will be active during the next 802.11 session. The topic of this ballot may be discussed in the ARC SC, but the ARC SC will not act as a conduit/filter of comments from 802.11.
Yours sincerely,
Adrian P STEPHENS (Dr)
Chair, IEEE 802.11 Working Group

Subject: [802.1 - 10416] Working Group ballot of P802.1AC/D1.0
NOTE: ALL BALLOT RESPONSES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE NEW BALLOT RESPONSE LIST:
STDS-802-1-ballot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PLEASE!
This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Working Group ballot form for P802.1AC/D1.0 - Media Access Control (MAC) Service Definition. This is a full Working Group ballot. Only 802.1 voting members and liaisons are entitled to vote, and voting has been extended for this ballot to 802.11 and 802.16 voting members. Additionally 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):

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:
18th July 2014
The PDF file of P802.1AC/D1.0 can be found at:
http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/ac-rev-drafts/d1/802-1ac-rev-d1-0.pdf
Comments should be made against the version of the draft above. The MIB text file is included as an attachment to the PDF.

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

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.
