Subject: IEEE Standards Due for Maintenance in 2010 - C/LM
2 February 2010
Paul Nikolich,
C/LM has some standards that are due for a 5-year maintenance action by
the end of 2010. In accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations
Manual, Section 9, standards are approved for five years and the Sponsor
is required to take a maintenance action by the end of that period. The
following are your options:
a) reaffirm
b) revise
c) stabilize
d) extend
e) withdraw
You can find more information about these options at
http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect9.html
Please notify me of your intended action by 18 October 2010, the submittal
deadline for the December 2010 Standards Board Meeting Series. If I do not
receive a response, the standards in question will be placed on the agenda
for administrative withdrawal.
If the Sponsor chooses to revise, reaffirm, or stabilize the standard but
will not be able to complete the process by the October submittal
deadline, please send me an email to a) request an extension of the
existing standard and b) provide information about the actions that are
being taken. Please also provide estimates for when the reaffirmation will
be submitted or, in case of revision, when the PAR will be submitted and
when you anticipate completing the revision project.
If there is no further interest in a standard and the Sponsor wishes it to
be withdrawn, no ballot is required. The standard will be administratively
withdrawn in December 2010. (Please notify me if the Sponsor decides that
a standard should be withdrawn. Also, please note that standards that have
been administratively withdrawn can no longer be reinstated via
reaffirmation. In order to reinstate an administratively withdrawn
standard, a PAR has to be submitted.)
The standards in question are:
802.1H-1995 (R2001) Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: IEEE Recommended
Practice for Media Access Control (MAC) Bridging of Ethernet Version 2.0
