If issues arise which require resolution the best approach is to email the former chairman or vice-chair, and in the case of a problem with the standards, to request an official clarification. <h2><a name="active-wg">Working Groups</a></h2> <ul> <h3>P802.5t 100 Mbit/s Dedicated Token Ring (<a href="http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/status?802.5t">Status</a>)</h3> <p> This project incorporates the former <a href="http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/status?Designation: 802.5u">P802.5u</a>. <p>Original PAR approved December 1997. The revised PAR was approved in June 1998. <p> This document has completed its 802 and LMSC balloting and has been forwarded to RevCom by the 802 Standards Executive Committee. It was conditionally approved as an IEEE standard at the Standards Board meeting on June 26th, 1999 in Boston, MA. The approval was conditional upon resolution of the patent issue impinging on the 100 Mbit/s PHYs. The conditional approval was extended until March 2000. Following resolution of the patent issue, the standard was ratified by the IEEE Standards Board on January 13th, 2000. <p> <ul> <li>Project Approval <a href="/5/www8025org/documents/unsecure/pars/8025t.pdf">Request</a></li> <li>Working group <a href="/5/www8025org/documents/t/">documents</a>. <img src="/5/www8025org/images/secure.gif" alt="[Secure]" width=45 height=10> </ul> <h3>P802.5v Gigabit Token Ring (<a href="http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/status?802.5v">Status</a>)</h3> <p> Following major procedural battles, this standard was finally approved by the Standards Board on May 4th, 2001.
