[802SEC] P802.3ag report under Procedure 10
Members of the Exec:
This is a report on P802.3ag which I am forwarding to Sponsor Ballot:
Title:
IEEE Draft P802.3ag Rev/D2.0
Revision to:
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
Access Method & Physical Layer Specifications:
Maintenance Ballot #6
History of P802.3ag
Draft 1.0 WG Ballot Draft
Package of 21 Maintenance Change Requests
Opened: October 7, 2000
Closed: November 8, 2000
Response rate: 59.3%
Comments received: 21
3 Tech Req'd
10 Tech
8 Editorial
(Also 1 non-voter ballot w/ 3 TR & 1 T)
Draft 1.1 WG Ballot Recirculation #1
Opened: December 29, 2000
Closed: January 12, 2001
Required 2nd recirculation.
Draft 1.2 WG Ballot Recirculation #2
Opened: March 9, 2001
Closed: March 24, 2001
Result:
Remove Change Request # 1037.
The change as proposed is technically flawed (as expressed in a technical
comment) and is being removed from the package for rework. It or its
successor will be added back into the next maintenance ballot package.
The rest of the changes (21 of them) all have unanimous approval and are
being forwarded to Sponsor Ballot as D2.0
The actual vote count at the close of the 2nd recirculation (not counting
CR# 1037) stands as:
241 Voters
147 Ballots returned
61.0% Return rate
106 Approval
0 Approve with comments
0 Disapprove
41 Abstain
100% Approval rate
27.9% Abstain rate
In March there was an 802 Exec motion for conditional forwarding:
802 EXEC MOTION:
Conditionally approve forwarding P802.3ag Rev to Sponsor Ballot upon
successful completion of WG Recirculation Ballot
M: G.Thompson/ S: B.Grow 10/0/0 Approved PASSED
This is being reported Under Procedure 10 of the LMSC Operating Rules
7. The Working Group Chair shall immediately report the results of the
ballot to the SEC
including: the date the ballot closed, vote tally and comments associated
with any remaing
disapproves (valid and invalid), the Working Group responses and the
rationale for ruling any
vote invalid.
I believe the conditions have been satisfied and I am asking Balloting
Service to proceed with LMSC Ballot.
