Subject: [STDS-802-3] Sponsor ballot invitation (2 of 2): IEEE P802.3bg 40Gb/s Ethernet Single-mode Fibre PMD

Dear Colleagues,

My apologies to those that have already seen this announcement but this is a courtesy note for those that have not.

As I have already announced the IEEE P802.3bg 40Gb/s Ethernet Single-mode Fibre PMD project has successfully completed initial Working Group ballot and the IEEE P802.3bg Task Force will be meeting this week to consider the comments received. In preparation for the possibility that the Task Force asks to proceed to sponsor ballot at the IEEE 802.3 November plenary the Sponsor balloting group invitation is now open.

If you are interested in participating in the sponsor ballot of IEEE P802.3bg 40Gb/s Ethernet Single-mode Fibre PMD, please follow the instruction below before 11:59pm ET on 17-Oct-2010.

Best regards,
  David

***** SPONSOR BALLOT INVITATION *****
You have indicated an interest in balloting IEEE Standards documents.

IMPORTANT! To participate, you must have access to myProject through an IEEE Web Account.

If you would like to participate in IEEE Standards Sponsor Ballot P802.3bg
Title: IEEE Standard for Information technology--Telecommunications and information exchange between systems--Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for Serial 40 Gb/s Ethernet Operation Over Single Mode Fiber you must enroll as a member of the ballot group by 17-Oct-2010, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION ***** The IEEE Computer Society Society/IEEE Standard for Information technology--Telecommunications and information exchange between systems--Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for Serial 40 Gb/s Ethernet Operation Over Single Mode Fiber invites you to participate in the New Sponsor Ballot for:
P802.3bg
Title: IEEE Standard for Information technology--Telecommunications and information exchange between systems--Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for Serial 40 Gb/s Ethernet Operation Over Single Mode Fiber
Scope: The scope of this project is to add a single-mode fiber Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) option for serial 40 Gb/s operation by specifying additions to, and appropriate modifications of, IEEE Std 802.3-2008 as amended by the IEEE P802.3ba project (and any other approved amendment or corrigendum).

Purpose: This project will define a 40 Gb/s serial PMD that supports a link distance of at least 2km over single-mode fiber that is optically compatible with existing carrier 40Gb/s client interfaces (OTU3/STM-256/OC-768/40G Packet over SONET (POS)), which will enable interconnection between equipment in carrier networks or as uplink interconnections from enterprises, data centers, or other network operators into carrier networks.


***** ENROLLMENT INSTRUCTIONS *****

If you are not an IEEE SA Member, you can either enroll in a single ballot by paying a per-ballot fee or you can join the IEEE SA by choosing an option link below.  Joining the IEEE SA entitles you to participate in as many sponsor ballots as you like for the year.

OPTION 1 - I am already an IEEE Member and I want to add Standards Association Membership. Go to: https://myieeemembership.ieee.org/renewal/RenewalLogin
OPTION 2 - I am not an IEEE Member but would like to enroll in both IEEE and IEEE Standards Association. Go to: https://webapps2.ieee.org/member/Member
OPTION 3 - I am not interested in becoming an IEEE Member, however I would like to enroll as a Standards Association Member only. Go to: http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/join.html

============================================
OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BALLOTERS ============================================
Balloting group members are selected to vote on the acceptability of a new or revised standard, or on the reaffirmation of a published standard submitted by the Sponsor; based on interest in and commitment to reviewing and voting on a specific existing or proposed standard.
