Re: [802.3_1PPODL] +++ 802.3 WG 1st RECIRCULATION BALLOT: IEEE P802.3bu Power over Data Lines (PoDL) D2.1 ballot
Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE
P802.3bu/D2.1 Power over Data Lines (PoDL) Working Group initial ballot.
Open date: Saturday 13th February 2016
Close date: Saturday 27th February 2016 23:59 AOE
As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft
is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 13th November 2015. All
comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one
limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting
group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments
as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot. Please consider
this in your ballot/comment decision making.
Best regards,
Dan Dove
Chair, IEEE P802.3bu Power over Data Lines (PoDL) Task Force
===========From David Law==========
Dear Colleagues,
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st
recirculation ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3bu Power over Data
Lines (PoDL). Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a
requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status
<http://ieee802.org/3/rules/member.html#DOT3>. Instructions for
accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow
this announcement. Please review the commenting instructions below to
ensure you are using the most up to date tools.
The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as
of Friday 13th November 2015.
Because this is a recirculation ballot, YOU ONLY NEED TO CAST A BALLOT
IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE FROM THAT WHICH WAS RECORDED ON THE
INITIAL BALLOT OR LAST RECIRCULATION. If you voted previously and your
vote has not changed, the last ballot cast will be carried over to this
ballot and you do not need to cast a new ballot.
BALLOT SCOPE:
During this IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st recirculation ballot, the scope
of the ballot is the substantive changes between IEEE P802.3bu/D2.1 and
IEEE P802.3bu/D2.0 and the unsatisfied negative comments from the
initial ballot.
CRITERIA FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that draft is
consistent with the criteria for standards development (CSD) responses
which are available at <http://ieee802.org/3/bu/P802d3bu_5C.pdf>. An
Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with
the CSD responses.
BALLOT OPEN:
Saturday 13th February 2016
BALLOT CLOSE:
Saturday 27th February 2016 23:59 AOE
The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at
<http://ieee802.org/3/bu/P802d3bu_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer and Management
Parameters for 1-Pair Power over Data Lines
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Define methodology for the provision of power via a single twisted pair
to connected Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) with IEEE 802.3 interfaces.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
Single twisted pair Ethernet links are in development (e.g. IEEE
P802.3bp) and some applications (e.g., automotive sensors, industrial
devices) require power delivery over the link. A new standard is
required to provide power over single twisted pair links where IEEE Std
802.3 Clause 33 Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) Power via Media Dependent
Interface (MDI) cannot be used.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of
the draft.

1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are
STRONGLY REQUESTED to use either the comment tool or spreadsheet. A
comment entry tutorial is available at:
<http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>
a. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 16th September 2015):
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>
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. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>
c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below.
This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track
all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and
submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: The ASCII method involves a manual transcription, hence you
are recommended to check your comments to ensure accurate transcription
when the comment file is made available. Please use one of the comment
tools above if possible.
