[802.3ae] FW: **Formal Announcement: WG 2nd Recirc P802.3ae/D3.2, 10 Gigabit Ethernet
All,
Geoff Thompson sent out the following note to the 802.3 reflector this
evening formally opening the second recirculation of the WG ballot. Enclosed
is all the relevant information required.
As with draft 3.1, if any of you are not members of the 802.3 Working Group
and wish to comment on draft 3.2, I will sponsor the comment on your behalf.
I will do this under the following three conditions (read these carefully
and completely):
1. I will NOT sponsor a comment that is incomplete. Every field in the
comment form must be filled out properly. Period.
2. I will NOT sponsor a technical required (TR) comment.
3. You MUST get the comments to me no later than August 28 (yes, you have
three days less time than everyone else).
If you are not a member of either 802.3 or 802.3ae and wish to purchase the
draft, go to http://standards.ieee.org/catalog/olis/index.html and search
for "802.3ae". You will be presented with a list of available drafts.
