Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to be sure you saw the announcement the start of the IEEE P802.3cd/D2.0 50 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s, and 200 Gb/s Ethernet Working Group initial ballot.
Open date: Saturday 27th May 2017
Close date: Sunday 25th June 2017 23:59 AOE
As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Saturday 27th May 2017. All comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.
Best regards,

Dear Colleagues,
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group initial ballot on the amendment IEEE P802.3cd 50 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s, and 200 Gb/s Ethernet. Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status <http://ieee802.org/3/rules/member.html#DOT3>. Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement. Please review the commenting instructions below to ensure you are using the most up to date tools.
The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Saturday 27th May 2017.
BALLOT SCOPE:
As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3cd draft.
CRITERIA FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that draft is consistent with the criteria for standards development (CSD) responses which are available at <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/16/ec-16-0060-02-ACSD-802-3cd.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses.
BALLOT OPEN:
Saturday 27th May 2017
BALLOT CLOSE:
Sunday 25th June 2017 23:59 AOE
The Project Authorization Request for this amendment is available at <http://www.ieee802.org/3/cd/P802.3cd.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Media Access Control Parameters for 50 Gb/s and Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 50 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s, and 200 Gb/s Operation
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Define Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) parameters, Physical Layer specifications, and management parameters for the transfer of Ethernet format frames at 50 Gb/s over copper and optical media. Define additional Physical Layer specifications and management parameters at 100 Gb/s over copper and optical media. Define additional Physical Layer specifications and management parameters at 200 Gb/s over copper and multimode fiber physical media.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
Rapid growth of server, network, and internet traffic is driving the need for higher data rates, higher density and lower cost solutions. Advances in 50 Gb/s signaling technologies can be leveraged to create optimized solutions based on single instance or multiple instances in parallel. IEEE Std 802.3 does not currently define 50 Gb/s Ethernet rates nor define 100 Gb/s or 200 Gb/s Ethernet solutions based on these new technologies.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)
1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use either the comment tool or spreadsheet. A comment entry tutorial is available at:
<http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>
a. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 16th September 2015):
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>
To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and do not move any component from that folder as this will cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:
Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe
b. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>
c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below. This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: The ASCII method involves a manual transcription, hence you are recommended to check your comments to ensure accurate transcription when the comment file is made available. Please use one of the comment tools above if possible.
