Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3cw/D2.5 400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems Working Group 5th recirculation ballot.
Open date: Sunday 1st October 2023
Close date: Monday 16th October 2023 23:59 AOE
As stated in the announcement below, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Sunday 17th July 2022. 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,
John D'Ambrosia

Dear Colleagues,
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 5th recirculation ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3cw 400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems. 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 Sunday 17th July 2022.
Because this is a recirculation ballot, YOU ONLY NEED TO CAST A BALLOT IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE FROM THAT WHICH WAS RECORDED ON THE INITIAL BALLOT OR LAST RECIRCULATION. If you voted previously and your vote has not changed, the last ballot cast will be carried over to this ballot and you do not need to cast a new ballot.
BALLOT SCOPE:
During this IEEE 802.3 Working Group 5th recirculation ballot, the scope of the ballot is the substantive changes between IEEE P802.3cw/D2.4 and IEEE P802.3cw/D2.5 and the unsatisfied negative comments.
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/19/ec-19-0219-00-ACSD-p802-3cw.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses.
BALLOT OPEN:
Sunday 1st October 2023
BALLOT CLOSE:
Monday 16th October 2023 23:59 AOE
The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <https://ieee802.org/3/cw/proj_doc/P802d3cw_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 400 Gb/s Operation over DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) systems
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Define physical layer specifications and management parameters for the transfer of Ethernet format frames at 400 Gb/s at reaches greater than 10 km over DWDM systems.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
Optical solutions targeting 400 Gb/s operation at reaches in excess of 10 km over a DWDM system will address the bandwidth growth and reach requirements of interconnect for distributed data centers where reaches greater than 10 km are required, or where fiber availability drives the need for multiple instances of Ethernet over a DWDM system.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.
