[802.3_4PPOE] IEEE P802.3bt/D2.0 DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair Working Group initial ballot



Dear Task Force Participants,

With this e-mail, I'd like to announce the start of the IEEE P802.3bt/D2.0 DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair Working Group initial ballot.

Open date: Friday 29th July 2016
Close date: Saturday 27th August 2016 23:59 AOE

As stated in the attached announcement, the ballot group for this draft is the IEEE 802.3 voting membership as of Friday 29th July 2016. 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,
Chad Jones
Chair, IEEE P802.3bt DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair Task Force

Dear Colleagues,

This is the announcement of the electronic IEEE 802.3 Working Group initial
ballot on the Amendment IEEE P802.3bt DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair.
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 29th July 2016.

BALLOT SCOPE:
As a Working Group initial ballot, the scope of the ballot is the complete
IEEE P802.3bt draft.

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, for
this project grandfarthered five criteria (5C) responses, which are
available at 
<https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/16/ec-16-0058-00-ACSD-802-3bt.pdf>. An
Approve vote indicates your agreement that the draft is consistent with the
CSD responses.

BALLOT OPEN:
Friday 29th July 2016

BALLOT CLOSE:
Saturday 27th August 2016 23:59 AOE

The Project Authorization Request for this Amendment is available at
<http://ieee802.org/3/bt/P802d3bt_PAR.pdf> and includes the following:

TITLE:
Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters
for DTE Power via MDI over 4-Pair

SCOPE OF PROJECT:
The scope of this project is to augment the capabilities of the IEEE Std
802.3 standard with 4-pair power and associated power management
information. The project will augment the methodology for the provision of
power via balanced cabling to connected Data Terminal Equipment with 802.3
interfaces. Optional augmented power limit will be made available for
certain structured cabling systems. Improvements introduced for 4-pair
systems, excluding raising the power limit, are optionally enabled for
2-pair systems. Compatibility with existing equipment will be maintained.

NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
Since the publication of IEEE Std 802.3at-2009, significant market demand
has emerged for more efficient power delivery and for applications with
power levels greater than those defined in the standard. Example
applications include thin clients, multi-radio wireless access points, pan /
tilt / zoom cameras, digital signage, building automation, industrial
sensors / actuators etc.

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

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.
