[8023-10GEPON] FW: [STDS-802-3] +++ 802.3 WG BALLOT: IEEE P802.3av/D2.0 10Gb/s Ethernet Passive Optical Networks initial ballot
Dear 10GEPON Task Force members,
Below is the announcement of the opening of the P802.3av initial working group ballot. The ballot is open to 802.3 voters. If you are an 802.3 voter and you have not received the following announcement, please contact Adam Healey to verify that you are on the 802.3 reflector (Adam's e-mail can be found at the bottom of this page: http://www.ieee802.org/3.)
Please, note that during the initial working group ballot, the entire draft is open for commenting and modifications. However, on the recirculation ballots, only the previously-changed text and figures are in scope for further revisions. Thus, it is very important to give the draft a very detailed and careful review during the initial ballot.
(Obviously, if anything is found to be broken, it must be fixed even if it affects unchanged text in a recirculation ballot.)
Glen

Subject: [STDS-802-3] +++ 802.3 WG BALLOT: IEEE P802.3av/D2.0 10Gb/s Ethernet Passive Optical Networks initial ballot
TO: 802.3 Voters, Observers and Liaisons
Dear Colleagues:
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group ballot
on IEEE P802.3av 10Gb/s Ethernet Passive Optical Networks. Remember that
voting as well as attendance is a requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3
member (voter) status. Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your
ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement.
IEEE P802.3av is an amendment to IEEE Std 802.3. The IEEE P802.3 (IEEE
802.3ay) revision has completed sponsor balloting and will be considered
for approval at the September IEEE-SA Standards Board meeting. IEEE P802.3
contains IEEE Std 802.3-2005, its four amendments, two corrigendum,
maintenance changes as well as changes accepted during ballot. If approved
it will be published as IEEE Std 802.3-2008, however since publication is
some way off, changes to the base document found in IEEE P802.3av are
written against IEEE P802.3 draft D2.2 and IEEE P802.3av will be compared
by the editor and reconciled against IEEE Std 802.3-2008 when it is
available.
As two IEEE 802.3 Working Group ballots might be running in parallel, this
IEEE P802.3av initial ballot and the IEEE P802.3at 1st recirculation,
proper subject lines on ballots and comments are essential for your ballot
and comments to be accepted.
The Project Authorization Request for this amendment is posted at -[
http://standards.ieee.org/board/nes/projects/802-3av.pdf] and includes the
following:
TITLE:
Draft Standard for Information Technology - Telecommunications and
Information Exchange Between Systems - Local and Metropolitan Area
Networks - Specific Requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access
with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer
Specifications. Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management
Parameters for 10Gb/s Passive Optical Networks
SCOPE:
The scope of this project is to amend IEEE Std 802.3 to add physical layer
specifications and management parameters for symmetric and/or asymmetric
operation at 10 Gb/s on point-to-multipoint passive optical networks.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this document is to significantly increase performance of
point-to-multipoint architecture (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) to
support emerging bandwidth-intensive services while considering equipment,
operation, upgrade, and maintenance costs.
NEED FOT THE PROJECT:
The project is applicable to subscriber access, back-haul, and
multi-dwelling unit environments. The project is needed to enable
telecommunications operators and multiple system operators to provide
advanced bandwidth-intensive services, such as high definition television,
while: reducing footprint and power consumption of central office
equipment; minimizing service upgrade cost; and minimizing fiber
deployment costs.
BALLOT SCOPE:
As an initial Working Group ballot, the scope of the ballot is the
complete IEEE P802.3av draft.
BALLOT OPEN:
Tuesday, 22nd July 2008
BALLOT CLOSE:
Monday, 25th August 2008 11:59PM AOE
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the
draft.

1. Prepare your comments in one of the following two ways:
a. You are strongly requested to use the comment tool
available in the TF Tool Directory at URL
http://www.ieee802.org/3/av/public/tools/index.html
To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and
do not move any component from that folder as this will
cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:
Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe
b. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the
