Subject: [STDS-802-3] +++ 802.3 WG BALLOT: IEEE P802.3bc/D2.0 Ethernet Organizationally Specific type, length, values (TLVs) ballot extension
Colleagues:
The IEEE P802.3bc Working Group ballot has again failed to close due to
lack of returns - I have therefore decided to extend the ballot one more
time - the new closing date is TUESADY, 10th MARCH 2009 11:59PM AOE. For
those that have not already voted please be aware that your Working Group
voting rights are contingent on ballot participation.
