[BP] IEEE P802.3ap Draft 0.8 now available for review

["Healey, Adam B (Adam)" <ahealey@xxxxxxxxx>]

IEEE P802.3ap Task Force Members,

 

Per the direction set at the January interim meeting, Draft 0.8 of IEEE P802.3ap has been generated and posted for review.  As a result of the work done in January, our draft has grown in size by over 50% and there is a great deal of new content in need of careful review.  Thanks to Schelto and the various contributors of draft text for pulling this together in such a compressed time frame.

 

The number of commenters and the volume of comments against draft 0.7 were small and we strongly encourage all of you to participate in this review.  We would very much like to increase the “turn-out” for draft 0.8.

 

 

COMMENT PERIOD OPEN:
Thursday, 17 February 2005

COMMENT PERIOD CLOSE:
11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time), Wednesday, 9 March 2005

 

 

At the March plenary, comments received during this period will be reviewed and resolved.  If a Task Force member plans to make a presentation for adoption into the next draft, then it is highly recommended that the Task Force member submit a comment with a reference to the presentation as part of the suggested remedy.

 

Thank you for you careful and thorough review of the document.

 

Adam Healey, Chair

Schelto van Doorn, Editor
