Dear Colleagues,
My apologies to those that have already seen this announcement but this is a courtesy note for those that have not.
The IEEE P802.3.1 Ethernet MIBs project is currently in its 2nd Working Group recirculation ballot. At the July plenary, the IEEE 802.3 Working Group granted conditional approval for the project to proceed to sponsor ballot. In preparation for that possibility the Sponsor balloting group invitation is now open.
If you are interested in participating in the sponsor ballot of IEEE P802.3.1, please follow the instruction below before 11:59pm ET on Thursday 23rd Sep 2010.
Best regards,

If you would like to participate in IEEE Standards Sponsor Ballot
P802.3.1
Title: Standard for Management Information Base (MIB) Definitions for Ethernet you must enroll as a member of the ballot group by 23-Sep-2010, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION *****
The IEEE Computer Society Society/Standard for Management Information Base (MIB) Definitions for Ethernet invites you to participate in the New Sponsor Ballot for:
P802.3.1
Title: Standard for Management Information Base (MIB) Definitions for Ethernet
Scope: This standard contains the Management Information Base (MIB) module specifications for IEEE Std 802.3, also known as Ethernet. It includes the Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2) MIB module specifications formerly produced and published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) MIB modules formerly specified within IEEE Std 802.3, as well as extensions resulting from recent amendments to IEEE Std 802.3. The SMIv2 MIB modules are intended for use with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), commonly used to manage Ethernet.
Purpose: The purpose of the standard is to publish the SMIv2 and GDMO MIB module specifications in a single document that is separate from IEEE Std 802.3, and that can be published in a machine-readable format. Future amendments and revisions to IEEE Std 802.3.1 will be performed to update the MIB specifications as required to track future amendments and revisions to IEEE Std 802.3.
