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 either the comment tool or spreadsheet. A comment entry tutorial is available at http://ieee802.org/3/ballots/p802d3_comment_entry_tutorial_v1p0.pdf.  

 

a. Access the comment tool at the URL (last updated 16th September 2015):

 

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

 

b. Access the comment spreadsheet at the URL:

 

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

 

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.
