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 forms in two out of the
last three Working Group ballots. The 802 Operating 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. 802.1 applies this rule.
The closing date of this ballot is:
        17th July 2003

If you have any difficulty downloading or reading this file, let me
know.
PLEASE NOTE that the volume of change in this document relative to D5 is
large, due to the re-description of the state machines in order to show
the distinction between the 802.1X protion and the "EAP Layer"
portion of the solution. In order to improve the clarity of the document,
all redline/strikout marking has been removed from D6.1, as the clutter
of deleted material was rendering the text difficult to read. However, a
version of D6.1 with redline/strikeout marking retained can be found in
the aa-drafts/d6 subdirectory of the website.
As is normal with our ballots, comments should specify not only what
problems have been identified with the text, but also what the commenter
proposes as a solution. In particular, Disapprove ballots MUST
be accompanied by Technical, Required and/or Editorial, Required
comments that clearly identify what the balloter requires to be done in
order to change his/her vote to Approve. 
Any comments accompanying the ballot should 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:
