IEEE 802.3 Working Group Voters, Observers, and Liaisons:

This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 3rd recirculation ballot on P802.3ap, Backplane Ethernet. If you were an 802.3 voter at the time of the initial ballot of this project (August 2005), you are a member of the P802.3ap WG ballot group. If you are a member of the WG ballot group but didn't vote on the initial ballot, or if you wish to change your previous vote, please cast a ballot on this recirculation ballot. If you did previously cast a ballot on P802.3ap and your vote on this recirculation is the same, you do not need to cast your ballot again as your previous vote is carried over.

Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement. Because multiple 802.3 WG ballots may run in parallel, proper subject lines on ballots and comments are essential for your ballot and comments to be accepted.
