Dear 10GBASE-LRM, If support the project and you want to make a positive
contribution please join the Sponsor Ballot Pool. The
invitation closes on 16th November so do it ASAP! You do not need to be an IEEE 802.3 voter to join the pool. You do need to be a member of the IEEE and the IEEE SA. The instructions Bob Grow sent to the IEEE 802.3 reflector
are copied at the end of this email. Regards, David ----------------------------------------------- Subject: IEEE Invitation to

INVITATION ***** You have indicated an
interest in balloting IEEE Standards documents. IMPORTANT! To participate,
you must have access to the myBallot system through an IEEE Web Account. If you would like to
participate in IEEE P802.3aq Standards Sponsor Ballot, you must enroll as a
member of the ballot group by 16-Nov-2005, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. ***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT
INFORMATION ***** The Ethernet Working Group Society/Ethernet Working Group
invites you to participate in the New Sponsor Ballot for: P802.3aq Title: 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 and Management
Parameters for 10 Gb/s Operation, Type 10GBASE-LRM Scope: The scope of this
project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std
802.3-2002 as amended to add a Physical Layer (PHY) for operation at 10 Gb/s on
standards based structured fiber cabling, using the existing MAC and with
extensions to the appropriate physical layer management parameters of IEEE Std
802.3. Purpose: This project will
define a lower-cost, 10Gb/s serial PHY that supports a link distance of at
least 220m over installed FDDI-grade multimode fiber. The specification should
enable migration to smaller form factor pluggable modules. ***** ENROLLMENT
INSTRUCTIONS ***** 1. Log onto myBallot, the
IEEE Standards Association’s (IEEE SA) Electronic Balloting System using
your IEEE WEB ACCOUNT at http://standards.ieee.org/myballot 2. Click on "Show/Join

IEEE SA entitles you to participate in as many sponsor ballots as you like for the
year. OPTION 1 - I am already an
IEEE Member and I want to add Standards Association Membership. Go to: https://myieeemembership.ieee.org/renewal/RenewalLogin OPTION 2 - I am not an IEEE
Member but would like to enroll in both IEEE and IEEE Standards Association. Go
to: https://webapps2.ieee.org/member/Member OPTION 3 - I am not
interested in becoming an IEEE Member, however I would like to enroll as a
Standards Association Member only. Go to: http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/join.html ============================================ OBLIGATIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF BALLOTERS ============================================ Balloting group members are
selected to vote on the acceptability of a new or revised standard, or on the
reaffirmation of a published standard submitted by the Sponsor; based on
