Approve -with Geoff's suggested correction

David-

I believe that the way the document is mentioned in the release is not the proper form.

It says:
"IEEE 802.3bm is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store."

We have traditionally be told that the proper way to refer to such a document was:
"P802.3bm/Dn.n" for an unapproved draft.
"IEEE Std 802.3bm" for an approved standard.

Please fix (or if the rules have changed let me and our colleagues know).

Thanks,

Geoff

Dear EC members,

I would like to now proceed to the EC electronic ballot on the attached updated draft IEEE 802.3bm 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Fibre Optic Ethernet approval press release I circulated on Thursday 29th January for comment, I've also attached a diff to the draft I circulated then, my thanks again to everybody that has provided comments.

Paul has delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot on the following motion to me. To ensure this release is issued as soon as practical I'm announcing the possibility of an 'early close' to this ballot (see below).

Best regards,
  David
