Dear IEEE P802.3bn Task Force Participants,
If you are a member of IEEE SA (see the details in the forwarded email) you will receive the ballot invitation as forward below. You will see the ballot invitation open for you in your myProject area on the IEEE website. Please consider joining the ballot group for the future P802.3bn Sponsor Ballot. Timing and other details on our ballot status will be discussed at the interim meeting in Atlanta.
Yours truly,

***** SPONSOR BALLOT INVITATION *****
You have indicated an interest in balloting IEEE Standards documents.
IMPORTANT! To participate, you must have access to myProject through an IEEE Web Account.
If you would like to participate in IEEE Standards Sponsor Ballot
P802.3bn
Title: IEEE Standard for Ethernet
Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Protocol over Coax
you must enroll as a member of the ballot group by 21-Jan-2016, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION *****
The IEEE Computer Society Society/IEEE Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Protocol over Coax invites you to participate in the New Sponsor Ballot for:
P802.3bn
Title: IEEE Standard for Ethernet
Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Protocol over Coax
Scope: This standard defines Ethernet local area, access and metropolitan area networks. Ethernet is specified at
selected speeds of operation; and uses a common media access control (MAC) specification and management
information base (MIB). The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific
Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) provide an architectural and optional implementation interface to
selected Physical Layer entities (PHY). The Physical Layer encodes frames for transmission and decodes
received frames with the modulation specified for the speed of operation, transmission medium and supported
link length. Other specified capabilities include: control and management protocols, and the provision
of power over selected twisted pair PHY types.
