First reminder regarding the fifth Task Force Review.

REVIEW CLOSE: Sat 22 February 2025, 11:59 PM AOE

Details are below.

Regards,

Subject: Announcement - IEEE P802.3dj Task Force Review D1.4

All -

Please note that the Task Force Review process is being reviewed with each draft recirculation and may be modified as deemed necessary by the Task Force leadership. In the interest of full transparency, the leadership wants the Task Force to understand how the Task Force review of D1.4 will proceed.

As a reminder, the Task Force’s adopted timeline is to request to proceed to go to WG Ballot at the IEEE 802.3 May 2025 Interim Meeting. In order for us to make this request, our goal should be for the document to be technically complete coming out of the March Plenary. Any changes made at the May Interim will need to be reviewed with the WG, and we would like to minimize the number of changes that need to be reviewed to ensure WG approval to proceed.

Commenters are encouraged to consider the above when reviewing and submitting comments. The Task Force is reminded that there will be ample opportunity for further refinement during the WG and SA Ballots.

Please take a moment to review the following-

· The fifth Task Force Review will start today, Friday, 07 February 2025, and closes on Saturday, 22, February, 2025 AoE.

· The scope of the review is substantive changes between IEEE P802.3dj D1.3 specification and IEEE P802.3dj D1.4 specification.

· For this task force review technical and editorial comments may be submitted formally.

· Individuals are reminded to review “IEEE SA Balloting and Comment Resolution Process Guidelines” (https://standards.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/import/governance/revcom/guidelines.pdf).

Additionally -

· The priority for comments will be determined by the Task Force Leadership and Editorial Team.

· Individuals wishing to submit editorial comments informally may do so by submitting a marked-up pdf document to mbrown8023@xxxxxxxxx. Please note that these comments will not be tracked.

HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS

Acceptable comment types:

T = Technical

E = Editorial (discouraged, any editorial comments that are formally submitted during the Task Force review will be addressed at the discretion of the editorial team).

individuals wishing to submit editorial comments informally may do so by submitting a marked up pdf document to mbrown8023@xxxxxxxxx). Please note that these comments will not be tracked.

1. Input your comments to the comment spreadsheet at the URL: http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls

*** Please use this method, if possible. It greatly reduces the workload on the editorial team. Thank you! ***

If you are not able to use the spreadsheet, you may use one of the following two methods.

A. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 07 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. Comments may be submitted in text (ASCII) form. In this scenario, 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.
