Dear 802 SEC, Please be advised of this Working Group recirculation ballot. As this is the MAC Service Definition, it may be of wider interest to other dot groups. We already have active involvement from members of 802.11
and have had input from 802.16 as well. There are some open issues regarding 802.20 for example. Regards, -- John From: John Messenger
NOTE: ALL BALLOT RESPONSES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE NEW BALLOT RESPONSE LIST: STDS-802-1-ballot@listserv.ieee.org PLEASE! This Email is attached to an official 802.1 Working Group recirculation ballot form for P802.1AC-REV/D2.1 – MAC Service Specification. This is a Working Group ballot: 802.1 voting members and liaisons are entitled to vote, and members
of 802.11 and 802.16 are also invited to vote on this ballot; however, other non-voting participants in the activities of 802.1 may submit a "Comment Only" ballot on the draft. In accordance with established practice in 802 and the IEEE, all comments received,
whether from voters or non-voters, are given due consideration during the Ballot resolution process. NOTE: As this is a formal WG ballot, if you vote "Approve" you are stating that, in your professional opinion, you consider the document to be technically complete, and ready for Sponsor ballot (i.e., the document is essentially ready
for publication, apart from final editing for style, etc.). Hence, sending in an "approve" ballot response within a small number of minutes of the ballot start time cannot possibly mean that the voter has given the document the level of professional consideration
necessary to make such a judgment. I believe the record so far was less than 10 minutes between posting the draft and ballot announcement, and receiving the first "Approve" - and that was on a document That contained Editor's notes indicating areas where work
needed to be done! As this is a recirculation ballot, some different rules apply: - The balloting period is a minimum of 15 days. - The subject matter of the ballot is NOT the entire document; the scope of this ballot is ONLY those changes to the draft that were made in order to resolve the ballot comments on the previous draft, any ballot resolutions that may
have been incorrectly applied, and any ballot comments that may have been rejected. - You need to return a ballot ONLY if you wish to change your previous vote on P802.1AC-REV. If you do not return a ballot, your previous vote will apply unchanged. - Responses are particularly solicited from those voters that made Disapprove votes on the previous ballot, in order to confirm whether or not the agreed ballot resolutions address their concerns. To put it more definitely, if you are
a voting member who has submitted a previous Disapprove, we will have to hound you until we receive a response. The 802.1 voting members that are entitled to a vote on this ballot are as follows (NOTE: for a WG ballot, the voting population is fixed at the start of the ballot, and does not change during any subsequent recirculation ballots, regardless
of any membership changes over the course of the balloting cycle): Boiger, Christian Bottorff, Paul Chen, David Chen, Feng Cheng, Weiying Cummings, Rodney DIARRA, Aboubacar Kader Farkas, Janos Finn, Norman Garner, Geoffrey Ghanwani, Anoop Gray, Eric W Gunther, Craig Haddock, Stephen Hitt, Jeremy Hussain, Rahil Jeffree, Anthony Johas Teener, Michael Jones, Peter Keen, Hal Kehrer, Stephan Kiessling, Marcel Klein, Philippe Korhonen, Jouni Mack-Crane, Ben Mangin, Christophe McIntosh, James Messenger, John Multanen, Eric Pannell, Donald Parsons, Glenn Pienciak, Walter Randall, Karen Riegel, Maximilian Romascanu, Dan Rouyer, Jessy V Saltsidis, Panagiotis Seaman, Michael Sexton, Daniel Specht, Johannes Steiner, Wilfried Tabatabaee, Vahid Thaler, Patricia Touve, Jeremy Unbehagen, Paul Weber, Karl Weis, Brian Woods, Jordon Zinner, Helge Zuniga, Juan-Carlos NOTE that on this ballot, voting members of 802.11 and 802.16 as at 16th April 2015 are also entitled to vote. It should be noted that the ongoing retention of 802.1 voting rights is predicated on active participation in Working Group ballots. Active participation is defined to be returning ballot forms in two out of the last three Working Group
ballots. The 802 Operating Rules allow abstention for any cause other than "lack of technical expertise" to be treated as though it were a failure to respond to a ballot. 802.1 applies this rule. The closing date of this ballot is: 9th July 2015 The PDF file of P802.1AC-REV/D2.1 can be found at: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/ac-rev-drafts/d2/802-1ac-rev-d2-1.pdf The comment disposition for the previous ballot is here: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/ac-rev-drafts/d2/802-1ac-rev-d2-0-dis-v2.pdf Username: p8021 Password: go_wildcats If you have any difficulty downloading or reading this file, let me know. As is normal with such ballots, comments should specify not only what problems have been identified with the text, but also what the commenter proposes as a solution. Any comments accompanying the ballot must be presented using either of the templates to be found here: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/commenting-tool/MyBallot-tools/ Comments can be generated using Excel or an equivalent spreadsheet program that will read XLS or CSV format files.
