Dear IEEE P802.3ba Task Force Participants, This is to announce that IEEE P802.3ba Task Force Draft 1.2
is available for download. Two versions of the document have been
uploaded: a “clean” version and a version with change bars. The
“clean” version of the document will be forwarded as the
pre-view draft to the IEEE 802.3 WG by Monday, March 2, 2009. Per the IEEE 802.3 Operating Rules, Section 2.8.2 Draft
Standard Balloting Requirements: Before a draft is submitted to WG letter ballot it shall in
addition have met the following requirements: b. It must be
made available for pre-view by the membership by the Monday prior to the
plenary week. If any changes are made to the draft after the draft was made
available for pre-view the textual changes shall be presented for review during
the closing plenary immediately prior to the vote for approval to go to WG
ballot. As noted above, any changes to the preview draft (Draft 1.2)
must be presented for review during the closing plenary immediately prior to
the vote for approval to go to WG ballot. This means that if the TF
decides to make any changes to Draft 1.2 during the Plenary TF meeting, the
editorial team must create a new draft, so that the changes can be reviewed in
front of the WG at the closing IEEE 802.3 WG plenary. Therefore, to
minimize changes to the preview draft, comments submitted by Task Force
participants against IEEE P802.3ba Task Force Draft 1.2 should be focused on technical
completeness.. The deadline for submitting comments is
Thursday February 26, 2009. The Task Force should also plan on considering feedback from
IEEE 802.3WG members on the preview draft during the IEEE P802.3ba March
Plenary meeting, as it may impact individual WG participants’ decision on
how to vote regarding the approval of the IEEE P802.3ba draft going to WG
ballot. As a reminder, the motion to request working group ballot is a WG
motion, which is a technical motion and will require greater than or equal to
75% at the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary to pass. Therefore, the agenda for the March Plenary IEEE P802.3ba
meeting will be to focus on preparations to request going to Working Group
Ballot on Thursday at the closing Plenary of the IEEE 802.3 Working Group.
These preparations will include the following: 1. Responding
to any comments submitted by Task Force Members 2. Responding
to any comments received by Working Group Members, based on the preview copy
that is circulated to the WG by March 2. The P802.3ba/D1.2 draft includes the following clauses and
