[802.3_RTPGE] Invitation to participate in Sponsor Ballot of IEEE P802.3bp - reminder

["Steven B. Carlson" <scarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
