[802.3_ITSA] IEEE P802.3cx/D2.1 Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy Working Group 1st recirculation ballot

Dear Task Force Participants,

With this e-mail, I'd like to remind you of the start of the IEEE P802.3cx/D2.1 Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy Working Group 1st recirculation ballot.

Open date: Monday 13th December 2021
Close date: Tuesday 28th December 2021 23:59 AOE

As stated in the announcement below, 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.

Best regards,
Steve Gorshe
Chair, IEEE P802.3cx Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy Task Force 

-----Original Message-----

To: IEEE 802.3 Working Group <stds-802-3@xxxxxxxx> <stds-802-3@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: +++ 802.3 WG 1st RECIRCULATION BALLOT: IEEE P802.3cx Improved PTP Timestamping Accuracy D2.1 ballot

Dear Colleagues,

This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st recirculation 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.

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 P802.3cx/D2.0 and IEEE P802.3cx/D2.1 and the unsatisfied negative comments.

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:
Monday 13 December 2021

BALLOT CLOSE:
Tuesday 28 December 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.

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 the spreadsheet. 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.
