The IEEE 802.3 Bandwidth Assessment report was approved by the IEEE 802.3 Working Group at its closing plenary last week, and approval of the Industry Connections (IC) Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus Group is currently in IEEE-SA Standards Board email ballot.

Based on this I would like to request review before proceeding to an email ballot. Based on this please provide comments by Wednesday 1st August, 2012 11:59PM AOE.
