Title: 
Geoff 
Thompson at Nortel can answer detailed questions for you, he is an active 
participant in the P802.3af Task Force and former Chair of IEEE 
802.3.
 
There 
is no set date for release of the standard, it all depends on issues raised 
during the remainder of the Sponsor Ballot process. To quote an American 
baseball player, "it ain't over 'till its over".  The initial SB has been 
conducted and the task force is in the process of resolving comments from that 
ballot.  If the SB process is completed with two recirculation ballots, 
P802.3af would likely be considered for ratification at the June IEEE Standards 
Board meeting, publication usually follows ratification within a 
month.

standard 
Many Thanks
