Dear 802 SEC,
Please be advised of
this Working Group recirculation ballot. As this is the MAC Service
Definition, it may be of wider interest to other dot groups. We already
have active involvement from members of 802.11
and have had input from 802.16 as well. As approved in July, the plan
is to go to sponsor ballot following this recirculation ballot.
Regards,
-- John

Subject: Working Group recirculation ballot of
P802.1AC-REV/D2.2
NOTE: ALL BALLOT 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
Working Group recirculation ballot form for P802.1AC-REV/D2.2 – MAC
Service Specification. This is a Working Group ballot: 802.1 voting
members and liaisons are entitled to vote, and members
of 802.11 and 802.16 are also invited to vote on this ballot; however,
other 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!
As this is a recirculation ballot, some
different rules apply:
- The balloting period is a minimum of 15 days.
- The subject matter of the ballot is NOT the
entire document; the scope of this ballot is ONLY those changes to the
draft that were made in order to resolve the ballot comments on the
previous draft, any ballot resolutions that may
have been incorrectly applied, and any ballot comments that may have
been rejected.
- You need to return a ballot ONLY if you wish
to change your previous vote on P802.1AC-REV. If you do not return a
ballot, your previous vote will apply unchanged.
- Responses are particularly solicited from
those voters that made Disapprove votes on the previous ballot, in order
to confirm whether or not the agreed ballot resolutions address their
concerns. To put it more definitely, if you are
a voting member who has submitted a previous Disapprove, we will have
to hound you until we receive a response.
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

NOTE that on this ballot, voting members of
802.11 and 802.16 as at 16th April 2015 are also entitled to
vote.
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 September 2015
