Re: [802.3_MAINT] IEEE P802.3 Revision to IEEE Std 802.3-2008 (IEEE 802.3bh): Approved PAR and Web-Area

Hi Bob,

 

While it would be much less work for me to do such editorial changes with editorial support from staff, I prefer to not make any changes (even editorial ones) without committee discussion.

 

I think your editorial notes are very helpful. In terms of how best to submit these, may I suggest commenting on the initial working group ballot.

 

I noticed that your email did not go to the reflector even though you copied it. In examining the reflector it looks like it is working. Could you look at your mail settings? I would be happy to work with you offline and/or look at our reflector configuration again.

 

Regards,

Wael

Weil:

 

If we have some editorial support for the merge, do we want to attempt to include some editorial changes?  I don’t know what we might choose to do in advance of ballot, but I have notes on my copy of a few general things to clean up.

 

1. Capitalization – The maintenance committee should pick a few global capitalization things to fix on this revision.  The following are a couple I have noticed.  The numbers make the pick of the first likely to be interpacket-gap, The second could be our publication editor’s choice.

Inter-Packet Gap  8 (various capitalization)

interpacket gap 44

interpacket-gap 1

 

Major Capabilities/Options (various PICS title capitalizations)

 

 

2. Reference to 8802-3:

A search shows 514 instances referencing 8802-3.  With our request to withdraw 8802-3, we need to fix this on this revision.

 

Let me know if you would prefer maintenance change requests for either of these, just want to discuss them during maintenance, or would rather take them during WG ballot.

 

--Bob

Colleagues,

 

The IEEE-SA Standards Board approved the PAR to revise IEEE Std 802.3-2008.

 

A new web-area for the project has been created:  http://www.ieee802.org/3/bh/. A link to the approved PAR along with other useful links and information can be found there.

 

Our Maintenance reflector will be used for this project. If you are interested in this work, please subscribe to that reflector. A link to subscribe can be found on the web-area.

 

Regards,

Wael
