The IEEE 802.1 Working Group is chartered to concern itself with and develop standards and recommended practices in the following areas: 802 LAN/MAN architecture, internetworking among 802 LANs, MANs and other wide area networks, 802 Security, 802 overall network management, and protocol layers above the MAC & LLC layers.
The 802.1 working group has four active task groups: Time Sensitive Networking, Security, Data Center Bridging and OmniRAN.
An Introduction to 802.1 prepared by Janos Farkas gives some good tutorial information on 802.1 technologies and working methods.
A list of active ballots is available. Voting members must respond to two out of the last three active ballots to retain their membership.
An experimental, unofficial web-based tally of 802.1 ballots is available. This has been provided by Glenn Parsons and was written by Aaron Voelker.

- IEEE Standards runs a Get IEEE802 programme which allows anyone to download the standards for free, 6 months after publication. The Portfolio of available documents is available.
- Project naming: 802.1 projects are identified using project names such as 802.1Q, 802.1ad, and 802.1Qat. Following the "802.1" are one, two, three or even four letters. Upper case letters identify (standalone) standards, and lower-case letters identify amendments (previously called supplements) to existing standards. There should never be two projects differing only in the case of these letters! The three- and four-letter forms have been introduced to better identify amendments. In this scheme, the first one or two letters (always uppercase) identify the standard being amended, and the last two (always lowecase) identify the project doing the amending. The notation 802.1Q-REV is used to identify a revision of an existing standard: these are more extensive changes to the existing text than can be undertaken in an amendment. Previously, revisions also had their own project names.
![[Valid RSS feed]](http://www.ieee802.org/1/images/valid-rss.png "Validate my RSS feed")
RSS feeds are available for each project page and for the main 802.1 index page. These can be used by compatible software to provide alerts that new information is available on the website without having to manually check for it.
As new documents and presentations are uploaded to the website, they are automatically added to the web pages based on their filenames, and they are also added to the RSS feeds. The RSS feed for the main index page includes all new documents, whereas the per-project feeds are limited to their individual subjects.
This is a new and experimental feature, and feedback is welcomed.
