and grants approval to forward IEEE P802.3br to Sponsor ballot.
- Move: David Law
- Second: John D'Ambrosia
- Working Group vote
- Y: 52, N: 7, A: 28
- Start of ballot: Tuesday 27th January 2016
- Close of ballot: Saturday 6th February 2016
- Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting rules' of the
IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations Manual, this is
notice that, to ensure the release is provided in a timely manner, this
ballot may close early once sufficient responses are received to clearly
decide a matter.
- Background information
- ----------------------
- At the November 2015 IEEE 802 Plenary meeting, conditional approval
was granted to forward IEEE P802.3br Interspersing Express Traffic to
sponsor ballot. The conditions listed in Clause 12 'Procedure for
conditional approval to forward a draft standard' of the IEEE 802
Operations Manual include (b) '... and there are no new valid DISAPPROVE
votes.'.
- As I reported to the IEEE 802 EC on Thursday 14th January 2016,
during the most recent IEEE P802.3br recirculation ballot one voter
submitted a Disapprove vote based on support of an unresolved, and
therefore in scope, disapprove comment (he "piled on"). I
believe his disapprove vote is valid and therefore we did not meet item
(b) of the conditional approval granted in November. As a restatement of
an existing comment however, this disapprove vote did not require
recirculation. As an aside, during the same recirculation ballot a
disapprove voter changed to an approve with comment, hence the number of
disapprove votes remained the same.
- Since there were no other disapprove comments, and after
consideration of comments received, no substantive changes were made to
the draft, we found ourselves in the situation where we had failed the
conditional approval requirements, yet we did not require a recirculation
ballot. The IEEE 802.3 Working Group therefore considered a motion at its
interim meeting on the evening of Thursday 21st January 2016 to request
unconditional approval for IEEE P802.3br to proceed to sponsor ballot,
this motion passed Y: 52, N: 7, A: 28.
