HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS

 

Acceptable comment types:

 

E = Editorial

ER = Editorial Required (an Editorial comment that the commenter feels very strongly about)

T = Technical

TR = Technical Required (a Technical comment that the commenter feels very strongly about)

 

For further information regarding comments, please see

http://www.ieee802.org/3/bt/public/nov14/diab_01_0512.pdf

 

Also, see ‘Chad’s rules for making comments’:

http://www.ieee802.org/3/bt/public/nov14/Rules%20for%20making%20comments.txt

 

Step 1. Prepare your comments in one of the following THREE ways:

 

a. You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use the comment tool in the TF private area at the URL:

 

URL: http://ieee802.org/3/WG_tools/filemaker/index.html

 

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

 

The comment tool runs under Microsoft Windows. It has also been run in VM environments on other platforms.

 

 

b. Manual entry tool: A comment entry SPREADSHEET has been created for those non-Windows users (though it is also Windows friendly!). This tool is posted in the IEEE P802.3bt private area, bunched with D1.1. It can be found here: http://www.ieee802.org/3/bt/private/802d3_TFR_WGB_comments.xls

You are STRONGLY REQUESTED to use the spreadsheet if you are not using the comment tool.

 

 

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 proper import. Please use the comment tool or comment spreadsheet referenced above if possible.
