Please find below responses to comments received on the IEEE P802.3 Revision (IEEE 802.3du) PAR.
Comments from the IEEE 802.1 Working Group
Comment: 5.5 Need for project: Consider rewording e.g. “will include” to “includes”, and other content in the future tense, to not have forward-looking statements.
Response: Change the first sentence to “IEEE Std 802.3-2022 needs to be revised to allow future amendments to be considered per standards board policies.” Use of the present tense for the second sentence would not be appropriate since the revision does not yet exist.
Comments from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group
Comment: PAR: 4.2 and 4.3 – check that the dates are really on your success plan. Check the amount of time to get to SA Ballot (15 months), and Expect more than 6 months to complete the SA Ballot.
Response: The time to SA ballot is extended to allow for incorporation of amendment IEEE P802.3dj into the revision. IEEE P802.3dj is expected to be completed late 2026. The remainder of the timeline is based on the actual time intervals required to complete previous IEEE 802.3 revision projects.
Comment: 5.5 change “will need to be” to “needs to be”
Response: Accept.
Comment: 6.1 delete “of previously reviewed text”
Response: Accept.
