Dear Task Force Participants,
With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3ce)/D1.0 Multilane Timestamping Working Group initial ballot.
Open date: Monday 8th August 2016
Close date: Tuesday 6th September 2016 23:59 AOE
As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 29th July 2016. All comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.
Best regards,
Adam Healey
Chair, IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3ce) Multilane Timestamping Task Force

Subject: +++ 802.3 WG INITIAL BALLOT: IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3ce) Multilane Timestamping D2.0 ballot
Dear Colleagues,
This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group initial ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3ce) Multilane Timestamping. Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status <
http://ieee802.org/3/rules/member.html#DOT3>. Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement. Please review the commenting instructions below to ensure you are using the most up to date tools.
The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 29th July 2016.
BALLOT SCOPE:
As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE 802.3ce) draft.
BALLOT OPEN:
Monday 8th August 2016
BALLOT CLOSE:
Tuesday 6th September 2016 23:59 AOE
The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at <
http://ieee802.org/3/ce/P802.3-2015-Cor_1_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:
TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet - Corrigendum 1: Multilane Timestamping
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
Clarification of which lane of the media dependent interface (MDI) of a multilane Physical Layer entity (PHY) is used as the timestamping reference point.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
The lane of the MDI of a multilane PHY that should be used as the timestamping reference point needs to be specified. Otherwise, the entire inter-lane skew may need to be accounted for in the receive minimum and receive maximum path data delay register values, impacting the timing accuracy that can be supported.
Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)
T = Technical
TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)
1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use either the comment tool or spreadsheet. A comment entry tutorial is available at:
<http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>
a. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 16th September 2015):
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>
To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and do not move any component from that folder as this will cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:
Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe
b. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:
<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>
c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below. This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: The ASCII method involves a manual transcription, hence you are recommended to check your comments to ensure accurate transcription when the comment file is made available. Please use one of the comment tools above if possible.
