| Dear Task Force Participants, With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3bv/D2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Over Plastic Optical Fiber Working Group initial ballot. Open date: Wednesday 27th January 2016 Close date: Thursday 25th 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 22nd January 2016. 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. Best regards, Bob Grow Chair, IEEE P802.3bv Gigabit Ethernet Over Plastic Optical Fiber Task Force ------BALLOT ANNOUNCEMENT------ Dear Colleagues, This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group initial ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3bv Gigabit Ethernet Over Plastic Optical Fiber. 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 22nd January 2016. BALLOT SCOPE: As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3bv draft. 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/bv/CSD_GEPOF_1114.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses. BALLOT OPEN: Wednesday 27th January 2016 BALLOT CLOSE: Thursday 25th February 2016 23:59 AOE The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/bv/P802_3bv_PAR_approved_121214.pdf> and includes the following: TITLE: Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 1000 Mb/s Operation Over Plastic Optical Fiber SCOPE OF PROJECT: This amendment adds physical layer (PHY) specifications for IEEE Std 802.3 operation at 1000 Mb/s using standardized plastic optical fiber as the point-to-point data transmission medium. Appropriate management parameters will be enhanced or added in support of the PHY specifications. NEED FOR THE PROJECT: Plastic optical fiber (POF) provides distinct advantages in applications where long link length is not a requirement; and where ease of installation is important (e.g., home networking). POF requires virtually no installation training and only simple tools to terminate. POF is also used in harsh environments (e.g., industrial and automotive networking) where its robustness provide significant advantages. Automotive and industrial networks are migrating toward using Ethernet, so maintaining POF as a medium option is a requirement for many manufacturers. POF's non-conductive cable construction and noise immunity increase installation options and the application space for Ethernet. Current networks in the target markets require operation at a gigabit per second data rate. Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

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. ------CUT AND PASTE TEXT BELOW THIS LINE ONLY PLEASE-------- CommentID: (Leave Blank) CommenterName: CommenterEmail: CommenterPhone: CommenterCellPhone: CommenterCompany: Clause: Subclause: Page: Line: CommentType: (E, ER, T, or TR) Comment: CommentEnd: SuggestedRemedy: RemedyEnd: --------------------end comment template------------------ 2.
