Colleagues:
The IEEE P802.3bc Working Group ballot has failed to close due to lack of
returns - I have therefore decided to extend the ballot - the new closing
date is MONDAY, 9th MARCH 2009 11:59PM AOE. Please be aware that, with
ballot extensions, the ballot will close a 11:59PM AOE on the day that the
return rate is met so if you do wish to vote on IEEE P802.3bc please do it
as soon as possible.
Your Working Group voting rights are contingent on ballot participation.
