Colleagues,
The initial Sponsor ballot has opened on IEEE P802.3bp/D3.0 with a ballot
close date of Thursday 14th January 2016 23:59 ET. Our work plan for the
January interim will be to resolve comments to the initial sponsor ballot.
P802.3bp is scheduled to meet Monday and Tuesday.
If you have joined the Sponsor ballot group and are planning to comment
further on the draft, please, follow the instructions provided on the
myBallot portal <https://development.standards.ieee.org/my-site/home> under
'Balloting' -> 'myBallot Home' -> 'Manage myBallot Activity'. Remember that
balloting and commenting is done via the Web-based My Ballot system for
members of the SB pool.
If you did not join the Sponsor ballot group, but still would like to
comment on the draft, it will save the task force officers significant
effort if you would send your comments to Marek Hajduczenia
<marek.hajduczenia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for inclusion in the ballot by Tuesday
12th January 2016 AOE. Such comments will be identified in the comment field
as coming from you, and like all comments from outside the ballot group will
be non-binding. A web page containing the instructions on how to do this and
the spreadsheet that you will need to use to enter your comments is
available at
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/non_voter_comment/index.html>. If you are
a non-Windows user of Excel, please check for and remove non-printing
characters in your spreadsheet. These will cause the ballot import to fail
in MyBallot. This spreadsheet uses YET ANOTHER format---it is not compatible
with the 802.3 FileMaker tool output or the new 802.3 Excel spreadsheet.
Copies of the myBallot Excel rogue comment spreadsheet as .xls and .csv have been attached for your use.
Your “Web ID” is your IEEE user account (usually the email address you get IEEE mailings on), the “Subclause”
is the whole clause number (e.g., 113.7.2.1) , AND, for type, type in “Editorial” “Technical” or “General”.
Regards,
Steve
