[LinkSec] Confirmation ballot of P802.1d/D2
This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Confirmation ballot form for
P802.1d/D2.
As this is a confirmation ballot, some different rules apply:
- The balloting period is only 15 days; the closing date is:
12 May 2003
- The subject matter of the ballot is NOT the entire document; the scope of
this ballot is ONLY those changes to the draft that were made in order to
resolve the D1 ballot comments, and any ballot resolutions that may have
been incorrectly applied.
- You need to return a ballot ONLY if you wish to change your previous vote
on P802.1d/D1. If you do not return a ballot, your previous vote will
apply unchanged.
- Responses are particularly solicited from those voters that made
Disapprove votes on the previous ballot, namely Tony Jeffree, Norm Finn,
Les Bell, in order to confirm their verbal indication that the agreed
ballot resolutions address their concerns, and that these have been
correctly applied in the current draft.
- Assuming that this ballot completes with no new negative votes, there
will shortly be a sponsor ballot on this draft. The scope of the Sponsor
ballot is the whole text. The editors particularly request that any issues
identified with the document that are not within the scope of the
confirmation ballot be separately identified now if at all possible to
allow the group maximum time to consider the correct action to be taken.
The chair extends his usual invitation to submit sponsor ballot comments on
behalf of anyone not in the sponsor ballot pool.
- The editors will accept notification of any editorial nits that have
escaped so far, separate from the ballot. Editorial and spelling issues
etc. are routinely dealt with in preparation of final text after all ballot
completion, but another set of eyes is always useful.
- Only those 802.1 voting members and liaisons that were eligible to vote
on the P802.1d/D1 ballot are entitled to vote in this ballot. Those people
are:

Further notes relevant to the D2 text:
-----------------------------
- Annex A, the PICS, has been completely revised as expected and following
the resolution of comments and discussion at the last meeting. In the rest
of the document change bars highlight the areas of change made for this
revision.
- This will be the last time that Annex Z appears attached to this
document. It will be removed from the sponsor ballot, updated as necessary
to reflect any final changes, and made available on the 802.1 website. Any
comments on Annex Z therefore fall outside the ballot proper, but will
still be gratefully received as the final version of this annex is prepared.
- This will also be the last time that the change barred versions of the
state machines appear in a draft. Final versions of these will be
incorporated into the archived Annex Z. The sponsor ballot will have clean
copies of the machines.
As is normal with 802.1 ballots, any ballot comments must specify not only
what problems have been identified with the text, but also what the
commenter proposes as a solution. In particular, any Disapprove ballots are
required to be accompanied by a clear statement of the changes that the
voter requires to be made to the text in order for the ballot to be changed
to Approve. Any comments accompanying the ballot must be presented using
the following template:
NAME: <Your Name>
COMMENT TYPE: <TR (Technical, Required), T (Technical), ER (Editorial,
Required), or E (Editorial)>
CLAUSE: <Clause/subclause number>
PAGE: <Page number>
LINE: <Line Number>
COMMENT START:
<Details of comment>
COMMENT END:
SUGGESTED CHANGES START:
<Details of suggested changes>
SUGGESTED CHANGES END:
