WG chairs, With this message I would like to announce that there is an ongoing working group ballot on P802.1AC-2016/revision – MAC Service Definition ending on January 5th. The intent is to have comment resolution meetings at
the January interim. The announcement is attached and in the 802.1 email archive:
https://www.ieee802.org/1/private/email2/msg38674.html As noted during the November plenary, the working group ballot is following this process:
As a result, I would ask the WG chairs to inform your WGs regarding the P802.1AC WG ballot. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Glenn. -- Glenn Parsons Chair, IEEE 802.1 WG +1-514-379-9037 To unsubscribe from the STDS-802-LMSC list, click the following link: https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=STDS-802-LMSC&A=1 |
[802.1 - 15813] Working Group ballot for P802.1AC-2016-Rev/D1.0 - MAC Service Definition

Subject: [802.1 - 15813] Working Group ballot for P802.1AC-2016-Rev/D1.0 - MAC Service Definition

NOTE: ALL BALLOT RESPONSES MUST BE SENT TO THE BALLOT RESPONSE LIST:

This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Working Group ballot form for P802.1AC-2016-Rev/D1.0 - Media Access Control (MAC) Service Definition. As this is a full Working Group ballot, only 802.1 voting members and ex-officio members are entitled to vote. However, any non-voting participants in the activities of 802.1 may submit a "Comments Only" ballot on the draft. In accordance with established practice in 802 and the IEEE, all comments received, whether from voters or non-voters, are given due consideration during the Ballot resolution process.
As this is a formal WG ballot, if you vote "Approve" you are stating that, in your professional opinion, you consider the document to be technically complete, and ready for Sponsor ballot. Hence, sending in an "Approve" ballot response within a small number of minutes of the ballot start time cannot possibly mean that the voter has given the document the level of professional consideration necessary to make such a judgment.
The 802.1 voting members that are entitled to a vote on this ballot are as follows (NOTE: for a WG ballot, the voting population is fixed at the start of the ballot, and does not change during any subsequent recirculation ballots, regardless of any membership changes over the course of the balloting cycle):
Ahmed, Mahin
Arunarthi, Venkat
Assmann, Ralf
Boiger, Christian
Bottorff, Paul

It should be noted that the ongoing retention of 802.1 voting rights is predicated on active participation in Working Group ballots. Active participation is defined to be returning ballot responses in two out of the last three Working Group ballot series. A ballot series includes the initial WG ballot and any subsequent recirculation ballots. The 802 WG Rules allow abstention for any cause other than "lack of technical expertise" to be treated as though it were a failure to respond to a ballot.
The closing date of this ballot is:
5th January 2026
The PDF file of P802.1AC-2016-Rev/D1.0 can be found at:
https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/ac-2016-rev-drafts/d1/802-1AC-2016-Rev-d1-0.pdf
If you have any difficulty downloading or reading this file, let me know.
As is normal with such ballots, comments should specify not only what problems have been identified with the text, but also what the commenter proposes as a solution.
Any comments accompanying the ballot must be presented using either of the templates to be found here:
http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/commenting-tool/MyBallot-tools/
Please ensure that you are using one of the latest templates referenced by the link above, not a template from a prior ballot, and have completed the Affiliation entry.
Comments can be generated using Excel or an equivalent spreadsheet program that will read XLS or CSV format files. Attach the resultant file, in XLS or CSV format, to your ballot response email. The editor would appreciate the attached comment file clearly identify the commenter's name, project and draft number. The following file name format is suggested:
<project id>-d<draft id>-comments-<yourname>.xls
