[802SEC] IEEE P802.3ca draft PAR modification and extension requests - 25 Gb/s and 50 Gb/s Passive Optical Networks

Dear EC members,

In support of subclause 9.2 'IEEE 802 LMSC Approval' of the LMSC Operations Manual please find below the required information in respect to the PAR modification request and PAR extension request for IEEE P802.3ca Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 25 Gb/s and 50 Gb/s Passive Optical Networks for consideration at the November 2018 plenary.

Best regards,
  David

[1] Draft PAR modification, draft PAR extension and modified CSD responses:

Draft PAR modification: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0172-00-00EC-ieee-p802-3ca-draft-par-modification-request.pdf>
Draft PAR extension: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0174-00-00EC-ieee-p802-3ca-draft-par-extension-request.pdf>
Modified CSD responses: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0173-01-00EC-ieee-p802-3ca-draft-modified-csd.pdf>

[2] Explanatory technical background material:

It has been agreed to modify the scope of the project to (a) remove 100 Gb/s operation, and (b) add extensions to the Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) protocols. The title has been updated to reflect the removal of 100 Gb/s from the scope. The dates for expected submission of the draft to sponsor ballot and to RevCom have been updated to reflect the current project plan. Since the expected date for submittal to RevCom is February 2020, after the PAR expiration date of December 2019, a PAR extension request is also being submitted.

[3] Status of the development of the PAR:

The draft PAR modification and CSD responses are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the November 2018 plenary.

Since the submission deadline for the December NesCom meeting occurs prior to the date of the November IEEE 802 EC meeting, I will pre-submit this draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that:

[a] Any changes to the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator.
[b] Should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group not approve the submission, it will be removed from the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee and NesCom agenda.
[c] Should the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee not approve the submission, it will be removed from the NesCom agenda.
