Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE
P802.3cs/D2.0 Increased-reach Ethernet optical subscriber access
(Super-PON) Working Group initial ballot.
Open date: Monday 22nd March 2021
Close date: Wednesday 21st April 2021 23:59 AOE
As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft
is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Monday 22nd March 2021. 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,
Claudio DeSanti
Chair, IEEE P802.3cs Increased-reach Ethernet optical subscriber access (Super-PON) Task Force

https://ieee802.org/3/cs/P802_3cs_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Amendment: Physical Layers and
management parameters for increased-reach point-to-multipoint Ethernet
optical subscriber access (Super-PON)
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
This amendment adds physical layer specifications and management
parameters for optical subscriber access supporting point-to-multipoint
operations using wavelength division multiplexing over an
increased-reach (up to at least 50 km) passive optical network (PON).
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
This project is needed to increase the coverage and reach of PONs to
serve more subscribers at a greater distance from the Optical Line
Terminal (OLT) location.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.
