This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Task Group ballot form for P802.1AC-Rev Media Access Control (MAC) Service Definition D0.1.
As this is Task Group ballot, as opposed to a full Working Group ballot, all participants in the activities of 802.1 are entitled to submit a ballot, regardless of their voting status in 802.1. This ballot is specifically also open to all members of 802.16, whose help in ensuring the correctness of this material is requested.
PLEASE NOTE that all voting members of 802.1 are obliged to respond to 2 out of the last 3 Task Group and/or Working Group ballots in order to maintain their voting rights. "Respond" in this context means sending in a ballot with a vote of "Approve", "Disapprove", or "Abstain" (for any reason).
The primary purpose of Task Group ballots is to solicit input that will assist the Editor to develop the draft to the point where it is ready for the Working Group ballot stage. A vote of "Approve" in this ballot is therefore appropriate if the document is ready for WG ballot; i.e., it is substantially complete, although there may still be technical details and issues to resolve at WG ballot. If you don't believe the draft is ready for WG ballot, the appropriate vote is "Disapprove", along with comments stating what changes need to be made.
The closing date of this ballot is:
29th August 2013
