[8023-POEP] FW: [802.3] +++P802.3-2005/Cor1/D1.0 Initial Working Group ballot



All:

 

The ballot for the isolation fix to the existing PoE standard opened yesterday.

 

This is a critical fix to a section of the standard that everyone on this list should be interested in seeing progressed.  Please find the time review the draft, to make meaningful comments if necessary and, if you are a voter, to vote.  You may comment on the draft even if you are not a voter; though you may not, of course, vote.

 

If you are new to 802.3 ways, the corrigendum project will be an excellent learning process.  Take the time on a short draft to learn how to vote, take the time to participate in the comment resolution process to learn that critical operation, when the time comes take the time to register for the sponsor pool and learn how that process goes.  We will all be well served if we use this chance to get up to speed on the IEEE way of doing things while we have time and the task is relatively constrained.

 

Cheers

 

Mike

 

PS – Start collecting some idea for the January P802.3at interim.
