power that be to determine what steps are left for our group and estimating
reasonable completion times. Below are the high points:
At any given point, a large influx of comments could cause
us to have an unplanned meeting which may affect a subsequent event’s
timing. There is also an assumption that we will have a low number of
comments during the D3.2 comment cycle that is underway as I expect for close
all comments received in the 2.5 days of the November plenary. The
comment volume for D3.2 and D3.3 are probably the biggest unknowns for
potential delays to the project. Also, should we manage to complete any step early, and move
the schedule up, the September date will not move as we are now co-contingent
on the LLDP changes being made by both 802.1 and 802.3. There is no
practical way that all these changes will occur prior to September, so we are
gate there. Finally, some of you have asked for instructions on how to
participate in the Sponsor Ballot process. To do this, you can either
