[802.3_100G-OPTX] Invitation to participate in Standards Association Ballot of IEEE P802.3cu 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s over SMF at 100 Gb/s per Wavelength

["Mark Nowell (mnowell)" <00000b59be7040a9-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

In anticipation of our802.3cu's eventual move to SA Ballot phase we have begun the process of building up the Standards Association (SA) Ballot pool.

For those not familiar with this phase, it is the 3rd review phase of the IEEE process.  In this phase, balloting and voting on the drafts (Usually D3.x) is open to anyone in the world to review.  This broadening of the pool of reviewers is intended to further improve the quality of the specification after is has been reviewed through the Task Force Review process and the Working Group Review process.

The key thing about being part of the SA Ballot pool is you need to actually request to be part of it and the instructions on how to do that are below in the email that David Law sent to the Dialog reflector.  

Once you are in the pool, you will receive notifications of the ballots and be able to submit "required" comments against the draft. If you do not participate in the SA ballot pool, we typically will still accept and review comments but can only commit to dealing with them on a best-case basis.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,  Mark

    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 Standards Association Ballot. If you wish to take part in the Standards Association Ballot of the IEEE P802.3cu 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s over SMF at 100 Gb/s per Wavelength draft please follow the instructions found below. Please note that you have to join the ballot group by 4-June-2020, 23:59 AoE.

    If you have any questions, please contact me.

    4. Click "Join The Ballot"; enter you affiliation(s); click "Select Classification"; confirm your affiliation(s); select your classification category, and click "Submit". You will receive an on-screen confirmation that you successfully joined the group.

    If you are not an IEEE SA Member:

    You can either enrol in a single ballot by paying a per-ballot fee or you can join the IEEE SA by choosing an option link below. Joining the IEEE SA entitles you to participate in as many Standards Association ballots as you like for the year.

    OPTION 1 - I am already an IEEE Member and I want to add Standards Association Membership. Go to: <http://www.ieee.org/membership_services/index.html>
    OPTION 2 - I am not an IEEE Member but would like to enroll in both IEEE and IEEE Standards Association. Go to: <http://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/join/index.html>.
    OPTION 3 - I am not interested in becoming an IEEE Member, however I would like to enroll as a Standards Association Member only. Go to: < https://standards.ieee.org/about/membership/index.html>

    If you are interested in paying a per ballot fee please contact <David_Law@xxxxxxxx> as soon as possible.
