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 P802.3cb draft please follow the instructions
found below. Please note that you have to join the ballot group by
15th February 2017, 23:59 Eastern Time.
If you have any questions, please contact me or the IEEE 802.3 Working Group chair, David Law <

Best regards,
Dan Smith
Chair, IEEE P802.3cb 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Backplane Task Force
