Subject: Ballot Recirculation, P802.3bn
Dear IEEE P802.3bn - Balloting Group Member:
This e-mail is to advise you of the opening of IEEE Standards Sponsor New
Ballot Recirculation - 2 for:
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.
***** IMPORTANT *****
Since this is a recirculation ballot, you need only respond if you wish to
change your initial vote. If you do not respond to this recirculation
ballot, your last vote will be carried forward. Also, as this is a
recirculation ballot, please note the following:
As per the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, 5.4.3.3: "Until the
proposed standard has achieved 75% approval, comments can be based on any
portion of the proposed standard. Comments not based on the proposed
standard may be deemed out-of-scope of the standards balloting process by
the Sponsor.
Once the proposed standard has achieved 75% approval, comments in
subsequent ballots shall be based only on the changed portions of the
balloted proposed standard, portions of the balloted proposed standard
affected by the changes, or portions of the balloted proposed standard
that are the subject of unresolved comments associated with Do Not Approve
votes. If comments are not based on the above criteria, the comments may
be deemed out-of-scope of the recirculation. Such comments need not be
addressed in the current standards balloting process and may be considered
for a future revision of the standard."
Balloters have many important responsibilities, but we would like to draw
your attention to two of these responsibilities:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that the scope of
the draft (including the scope statement in the draft, if any) is within
the scope of the work authorized by the PAR. An affirmative vote indicates
your agreement that the scope of the draft does not exceed the work
authorized by the PAR.
(Note: It is acceptable for the scope of the draft to be less than the
scope of the work authorized by the PAR.)
Another important responsibility is the obligation to comply with the
IEEE-SA Patent Policy
[http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html]. This is
pertinent to informing the IEEE (or causing the IEEE to be informed) of
the identity of the holders of any potential Essential Patent Claims that
may be relevant to this draft. This does not apply if the patent claim is
already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance
[http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html] that applies to
the draft under consideration.
IMPORTANT
For sponsor ballots of amendments and corrigenda, please contact your
staff liaison if there is a need for the base standard or any approved
amendments or corrigenda. Five business days are required to fulfill your
request, so requests should be made as early in the ballot process as
possible.
The ballot process may include communication among the Sponsor comment
resolution group and Sponsor balloting group members regarding the
substantive merits and possible resolution of comments. However, no
comment resolution member, Sponsor balloting group member, or standards
participant shall intimidate or coerce a specific vote from any Sponsor
balloting group member. Please contact your staff liaison if you have any
concerns.
BALLOT OPENS: 01-Jun-2016

No votes and/or comments will be accepted after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on
