[802.3_10SPE] reminder on working group ballots and voting rights

[George Zimmerman <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All – just because 802.3cg has finished working group ballot, please do not forget your duty to vote on other working group ballots (or abstain if you have lack of expertise). 

There are currently 3 ballots open: (see www.ieee802.org/3/ballots/announce.html ), and one closes on Sunday.

IEEE P802.3cn 50 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s over greater than 10 km of SMF	D2.0	Initial Working Group ballot	Saturday 16th March 2019	Sunday 14th April 2019 23:59 AOE	John D'Ambrosia	IEEE P802.3cn draft D2.0 ballot notice
IEEE P802.3cm 400 Gb/s over Multimode Fiber	D2.0	Initial Working Group ballot	Saturday 23rd March 2019	Sunday 21st April 2019 23:59 AOE	Robert Lingle	IEEE P802.3cm draft D2.0 ballot notice
IEEE P802.3cq Power over Ethernet over 2 Pairs (Maintenance #13)	D2.0	Initial Working Group ballot	Tuesday 2nd April 2019	Wednesday 1st May 2019 23:59 AOE	Chad Jones

Your continued working group voting rights is dependent on your responding to these ballots, as it says on the above webpage:

You can lose your voting membership for not returning or abstaining, other than abstain for lack of technical expertise, in two of the last three Working Group ballots.

 

As far as 802.3cg is concerned, we will still have to go through working group (floor) votes at plenaries to progress the draft after we complete Standards Association ballot, and you may want to vote then.

Because there are currently 3 ballots out, that means pay attention, missing 2 out of 3 could happen in an instant.

Mr. Law is known to have mercy, but staying on the right side of the rules is always good insurance.
