Subject: Ballot Recirculation, P802.1AC
Dear IEEE P802.1AC - Balloting Group Member:
This e-mail is to advise you of the opening of IEEE Standards Sponsor
Revision Ballot Recirculation - 1 for:
Title: Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks-Media Access
Control (MAC) Service Definition
Scope: The scope of this standard is to define the Media Access Control
(MAC) Service provided by all IEEE 802(R)MACs, and the Internal Sublayer
Service (ISS) provided within MAC Bridges, in abstract terms of the
following:
a)Their semantics, primitive actions, and events; and b)The parameters of,
interrelationship between, and valid sequences of these actions and events.
***** IMPORTANT *****
Since this is a recirculation ballot, you need only respond if you wish to
change your initial vote. If you do not respond to this recirculation
ballot, your last vote will be carried forward. Also, as this is a
recirculation ballot, please note the following:
As per the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, 5.4.3.3: "Until the
proposed standard has achieved 75% approval, comments can be based on any
portion of the proposed standard. Comments not based on the proposed
standard may be deemed out-of-scope of the standards balloting process by
the Sponsor.
Once the proposed standard has achieved 75% approval, comments in subsequent
ballots shall be based only on the changed portions of the balloted proposed
standard, portions of the balloted proposed standard affected by the
changes, or portions of the balloted proposed standard that are the subject
of unresolved comments associated with Do Not Approve votes. If comments are
not based on the above criteria, the comments may be deemed out-of-scope of
the recirculation. Such comments need not be addressed in the current
standards balloting process and may be considered for a future revision of
the standard."
Balloters have many important responsibilities, but we would like to draw
your attention to two of these responsibilities:
One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that the scope of the
draft (including the scope statement in the draft, if any) is within the
scope of the work authorized by the PAR. An affirmative vote indicates your
agreement that the scope of the draft does not exceed the work authorized by
the PAR.
(Note: It is acceptable for the scope of the draft to be less than the scope
of the work authorized by the PAR.)
Another important responsibility is the obligation to comply with the
IEEE-SA Patent Policy
[http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/materials.html]. This is
pertinent to informing the IEEE (or causing the IEEE to be informed) of the
identity of the holders of any potential Essential Patent Claims that may be
relevant to this draft. This does not apply if the patent claim is already
the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance
[http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html] that applies to
the draft under consideration.
IMPORTANT
For sponsor ballots of amendments and corrigenda, please contact your staff
liaison if there is a need for the base standard or any approved amendments
or corrigenda. Five business days are required to fulfill your request, so
requests should be made as early in the ballot process as possible.
The ballot process may include communication among the Sponsor comment
resolution group and Sponsor balloting group members regarding the
substantive merits and possible resolution of comments. However, no comment
resolution member, Sponsor balloting group member, or standards participant
shall intimidate or coerce a specific vote from any Sponsor balloting group
member. Please contact your staff liaison if you have any concerns.
