Hi,
Please could you circulate the ballot announcement to your working group members (802.11 and 802.16). We would appreciate their review of the draft and any comments they may have will be treated in the same way as comments from 802.1 working group members.
Thanks,
-- John

NOTE: ALL RESPONSES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE NEW BALLOT RESPONSE LIST:
STDS-802-1-ballot@listserv.ieee.org PLEASE!
This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Task Group ballot form for
P802.1AC-Rev/D0.2 - Media Access Control (MAC) Service Definition.
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.
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:
14th March 2014
The PDF file of P802.1AC-Rev/D0.2 can be found at:
http://ieee802.org/1/files/private/ac-rev-drafts/d0/802-1ac-rev-d0-2.pdf
The comment disposition for the previous ballot is here:

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.
