Dear Task Force Participants, With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3cx/D2.0 Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy Working Group initial ballot. Open date: Wednesday 6th October 2021 Close date: Friday 5th November 2021 23:59 AOE As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Wednesday 6th October 2021. 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. In other words, If you are not an IEEE 802.3 voter, you can still return
your comments subject to these limitations. Best regards, Steve Gorshe Chair, IEEE P802.3cx Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy Task Force ----- Dear Colleagues, This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group initial ballot on the amendment IEEE P802.3cx Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy. 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 Wednesday 6th October 2021. BALLOT SCOPE: As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3cx 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 <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/19/ec-19-0161-01-00EC-ieee-p802-3cx-draft-csd-response.pdf>.
An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses. BALLOT OPEN: Wednesday 6th October 2021 BALLOT CLOSE: Friday 5th November 2021 23:59 AOE The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/19/ec-19-0160-01-00EC-ieee-p802-3cx-draft-par-response.pdf>
and includes the following: TITLE: Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Media Access Control (MAC) service interface and management parameters to support improved Precision Time Protocol (PTP) timestamping accuracy SCOPE OF PROJECT: Define optional enhancements to Ethernet support for time synchronization protocols to provide improved timestamp accuracy in support of ITU-T Recommendation G.8273.2 'Class C' and 'Class D' system time error performance requirements. NEED FOR THE PROJECT: Ethernet can be applied in important new applications if implementations can interwork to meet more stringent time synchronization. Potential new applications include use in the 5G radio access network (RAN) infrastructure, high-speed
telecommunications, industrial control and SmartGrid. For example, there is a strong desire to be able to use Ethernet for 5G RAN, which is expected to have significant volume. Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

A comment entry tutorial is available at: <http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf> a. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls> b. Access the comment tool at the URL: <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 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: CommenterCompany: Clause: Subclause: Page: Line: CommentType: (E, ER, T, or TR) Comment: CommentEnd: SuggestedRemedy: RemedyEnd: --------------------end comment template------------------ 2.
