Dear Colleagues, 

The 3rd Sponsor recirculation ballot on the IEEE P802.3bm 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Fibre Optic amendment closed successfully on 3rd December 2014.

The ballot achieved 100% approval and while three comments were submitted <http://www.ieee802.org/3/bm/comments/P802d3bm_D3p3_comments_final_Cl.pdf>, the third comment withdrew the other two. As a result there are no comments to consider and the IEEE P802.3bm Task Force interim meeting announced for 10th December 2014 is cancelled. Based on the conditional approval received at the November plenary I will announce the results to the IEEE 802 Executive Committee and proceed with RevCom submittal for their January 2015 teleconference.

The ballot statistics are:

96 Voters
77 Approve
0 Disapprove
2 Abstain
79 Ballots returned

82.29% Response Rate (>= 75% required)
2.53% Abstain Rate (< 30% required)
100% Approval Rate (>= 75% required)

Thank you to all that participated in this ballot.
