[802.3_100GEL] IEEE P802.3ck/D2.1 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s Electrical Interfaces Working Group 1st recirculation ballot



Dear Task Force Participants,

 

With this e-mail, I'd like to announce that the IEEE P802.3ck/D2.1 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s Electrical Interfaces Working Group 1st recirculation ballot began yesterday.

 

Open date: Friday 18th June 2021

Close date: Saturday 3rd July 2021 23:59 AOE

 

As stated in the announcement below, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 19th March 2021. All comments received before the close of ballot will be considered, the one limitation however is that if you are not a member of the balloting group, and therefore cannot cast a ballot, you cannot designate comments as TR or ER since you cannot cast a Disapprove ballot.

 

Best regards,

Beth Kochuparambil

Chair, IEEE P802.3ck 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s Electrical Interfaces Task Force

Dear Colleagues,

This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st recirculation ballot of the amendment IEEE P802.3ck 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s Electrical Interfaces. Remember that voting, as well as attendance, is a requirement to maintain your IEEE 802.3 member (voter) status <http://ieee802.org/3/rules/member.html#DOT3>. Instructions for accessing the draft, casting your ballot and submitting comments follow this announcement. Please review the commenting instructions below to ensure you are using the most up to date tools.

The ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 19th March 2021.

Because this is a recirculation ballot, YOU ONLY NEED TO CAST A BALLOT IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE FROM THAT WHICH WAS RECORDED ON THE INITIAL BALLOT OR LAST RECIRCULATION. If you voted previously and your vote has not changed, the last ballot cast will be carried over to this ballot and you do not need to cast a new ballot.

BALLOT SCOPE:

During this IEEE 802.3 Working Group 1st recirculation ballot, the scope of the ballot is the substantive changes between IEEE P802.3ck/D2.0 and IEEE P802.3ck/D2.1 and the unsatisfied negative comments.

CRITERIA FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT:

One of the responsibilities as a balloter is to ensure that draft is consistent with the criteria for standards development (CSD) responses which are available at <https://ieee802.org/3/ck/P802_3ck_CSD_06apr18.pdf>. An Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the CSD responses.

BALLOT OPEN:

Friday 18th June 2021

BALLOT CLOSE:

Saturday 3rd July 2021 23:59 AOE

The Project Authorization Request for this amendment is available at <https://ieee802.org/3/ck/P802_3ck_PAR_14may18.pdf> and includes the following:

TITLE:

Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s Electrical Interfaces Based on 100 Gb/s Signaling

SCOPE OF PROJECT:

This project is to specify additions to and appropriate modifications of IEEE Std 802.3 to add Physical Layer specifications and Management Parameters for 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s electrical interfaces based on 100 Gb/s signaling.

NEED FOR THE PROJECT:

The continual growth of bandwidth demand has driven evolution of higher Ethernet speeds, most recently with 100Gb/s, 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Ethernet. To meet this growth, ongoing advancement in serializer and deserializer circuit (SERDES) technology to higher rates of operation enables the opportunity to develop higher density or lower cost electrical interfaces using 100 Gb/s signaling.

Thank you for your participation in this ballot and careful review of the draft.

HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS

Acceptable comment types:

E = Editorial

ER = Editorial Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member) T = Technical TR = Technical Required (a binding comment that is part of a DISAPPROVE vote, therefore only appropriate for an IEEE 802.3 voting member)

1. Prepare your comments in one of the following three ways. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use the spreadsheet. A comment entry tutorial is available at:

 

<http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf>

a. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/spreadsheet/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls>

b. Access the comment tool at the URL:

<http://www.ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/Generic_Commenting_Tool_FM.zip>

To use the tool, extract all components into a folder and do not move any component from that folder as this will cause the executable to not work correctly. The tool is:

Comment_Tool_Generic_Solution.exe

c. To submit comments in text (ASCII) form, please use the form below. This will make it possible for the editor to properly record and track all submissions. Make as many copies of the template as necessary and submit as an ASCII text file or as part of your e-mail.

PLEASE NOTE: The ASCII method involves a manual transcription, hence you are recommended to check your comments to ensure accurate transcription when the comment file is made available. Please use one of the comment tools above if possible.
