Synchronisation
Dear Colleagues,
My apologies to those that have already seen this announcement but this is a
courtesy note for those that have not.
As I have already announced, the IEEE P802.3bf Time Synchronisation project
has successfully completed initial Working Group ballot and the IEEE
P802.3bf Task Force will be meeting this week to consider the comments
received. In preparation for the possibility that the Task Force asks to
proceed to sponsor ballot at the IEEE 802.3 November plenary, the Sponsor
balloting group invitation is now open.
If you are interested in participating in the sponsor ballot of IEEE
P802.3bf Time Synchronisation, please follow the instruction below before
11:59pm ET on 17-Oct-2010.
Best regards,
David
