[802.3_RTPGE] Invitation to participate in Sponsor Ballot of IEEE P802.3bp
Dear Colleagues,
Draft standards within the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group pass through
two balloting cycles, first through IEEE 802.3 Working Group Ballot, then
through Sponsor Ballot. If you wish to take part in the Sponsor Ballot of
the IEEE P802.3bp draft, please follow the instructions found below. Please
note that you have to join the ballot group by 15-November-2015, 23:59
Eastern Time.
As participants in the P802.3bp Task Force, I wanted to make sure you had
the opportunity to join the sponsor ballot pool.
If you have any questions, please contact me or the IEEE 802.3 Working Group
chair, David Law <David_Law@xxxxxxxx>.
Best regards,
Steve Carlson
Chair, IEEE P802.3bp 1000BASE-T1 Task Force
