PLEASE!
This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Working Group ballot form for
P802.1AC-REV/D2.0 - MAC Service Specification. This is a full Working Group ballot. Only 802.1 voting members and liaisons plus 802.11 and 802.16 members 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):
Boiger, Christian
Bottorff, Paul
Chen, David
Chen, Feng
Cheng, Weiying

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:
16th May 2015
The PDF file of P802.1AC-REV/D2.0 can be found at:

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.
RETURNING YOUR BALLOT FORM
==========================
