        BALLOT SCOPE:
        As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3cu 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/19/ec-19-0062-00-ACSD-p802-3cu.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses.
        
        BALLOT OPEN:
        Wednesday 29th January 2020
        
        BALLOT CLOSE:

        The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <http://ieee802.org/3/cu/P802_3cu_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
        
        TITLE:
        Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Operation over Single-Mode Fiber at 100 Gb/s per Wavelength
        
        SCOPE OF PROJECT:
        This project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std 802.3 to add PHY specifications and Management Parameters for 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Ethernet optical interfaces for reaches up to 10 km based on 100 Gb/s per wavelength optical signaling
        
        NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
        The continual growth of bandwidth demand has driven evolution of higher Ethernet speeds, including 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Ethernet. To meet this growth, ongoing advancement in optical technology enables the opportunity to develop higher density or lower cost optical interfaces using 100 Gb/s per wavelength optical signaling with greater than 500 m reach.
        
        Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

        HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS
        
        Acceptable comment types:
        
        E = Editorial
        ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)
        T = Technical
        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:
        
        <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.
