Please note that any proposed remedies that suggest a presentation will be submitted will not be considered as the actual request for presentation time.   A separate request must be made to the chair per the call for presentations for the meeting. 

 

IEEE P802.3bs is an amendment to IEEE Std 802.3-2015, which is a revision update from IEEE 802.3 P802.3bx.  The document may be found at the IEEE P802.3bx Task Force’s Private Area:  http://www.ieee802.org/3/private/maint/bxballot/index.html

 

IEEE P802.3bs Project Documentation

At the IEEE 802 March 2016 Plenary, the IEEE 802.3 200 GbE SMF Study Group proposed changes to the P802.3bs PAR.  The proposed modified PAR was approved by the IEEE 802.3 WG and the IEEE 802 EC, but is currently waiting final approval by the IEEE-SA Standards Board, which is anticipated will happen in early May 2016.  P802.3 D1.3 does not reflect the changes in the proposed PAR modification and associated project documentation (currently shown on the Task Force page @ http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/index.html). 

 

The currently approved IEEE P802.3bs PAR and associated project documentation, which D1.3 reflects, may be found at :

·       The Project Authorization Request for this amendment is posted at: http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/PAR_P802.3bs_14_0612.pdf

HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS

 

Acceptable comment types:

 

E = Editorial

ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)

T = Technical

TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)

 

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.
