Colleagues: The Task Force met in With no new negatives and no technical changes to the draft,
we have met the conditions required in the conditional approval for sponsor
ballot which we received in November. I am happy to report that as a
result of the work in If you are in the ballot group you should have already
received the instructions to visit https://development.standards.ieee.org/my-site/ballot-activity
to log in and submit your ballot. Sponsor Ballot uses a different ballot
tool than Working Group ballot and comments must be either submitted while
connected to the Internet or via a spreadsheet file format. Please be
careful when using the spreadsheet, it is a clumsy and awkward interface.
Should you fill it out incorrectly you will be asked to correct your errors
yourself, I do not foresee the comment editor fixing your errors. The
balance of commenter instructions are fairly straight forward and explained on
the myBallot portal under the "manage myBallot Activity" link. If you failed to join the Sponsor ballot group, but still
would like to comment on the draft, it will save me significant effort if you
would send your comments to me 20-Feb-09 23:59 Eastern Time. Such
comments will be identified in the comment field as coming from you, and like
all comments from outside the ballot group they will be non-binding. Use
one of the comment file formats (Excel or XML) provided in the protected area
of the Task Force web page http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/private/index.html
with the D4.0 draft – do not use the old ballot tool. Finally, our next meeting is scheduled to occur during the
IEEE 802 Plenary meeting March 9 to 12, 2009. The usual registration and
meeting information can be found on the IEEE website starting at http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/index.html.
While there are less than two weeks between ballot close and the start of our
comment resolution meeting please try to come prepared. I expect that we
will have proposed resolutions for many of the comments posted but will admit
there will likely be little time prior to the meeting start to process comments
and propose resolutions – check the website often as I will not be
flooding the reflector with each and every update. The schedule for our
group will be all day Tuesday and Wednesday, the morning of Thursday and 802.3
Working Group sessions Monday and Thursday afternoons. Cheers Mike Michael McCormack Business Development Manager, Power over Ethernet Products Office: +1 603 222 8686 Mobile: +1 603 264 0146 |
