[RPRWG] Austin Meeting Details / Process
Dear RPPWGers,
Sorry for the delay in getting this out. A reasonable amount
of thought and research has gone into this process.
The goals of the November meeting are as follows:
- adminstration
determination of new voting members
review of rules for gaining and losing voting rights
review of rules for voting at the meeting
- presentation of proposals for the baseline of the standard
- determination if any proposal has sufficient support to move forward
(75% technical vote)
- terms and definitions resolution
- determine if encapsulating bridging is our preferred method for 802.1D
or just something we want to try to standardize or something we leave
for vendors to do in a proprietary manner.
- meeting with 802.1 to discuss standard transparent bridging and
possibly encap bridging (Thursday morning)
- possible convergence of proposals if none have sufficient support to
move forward
- other presentations of interest to the WG
If a proposal does garner 75% support it will become the baseline
proposal and serve as draft 0.0 Given that the jobs of the editors
to make the draft whole - people need to concentrate on the technical
aspects of all of the proposals and not get too hung up on editorial
issues. The focus should be on if the proposal is understandable from
a technical perspective.
If a proposal does not garner support we need to be aware that we
have until the end of january to reach concensus on the major
technical issues and still be on schedule. However, if we can
reach concensus this meeting we will be in a position to beat our
schedule.

Normally requests for slots would have had to have been in next
monday. Due to the lateness on my part I will accept requests for
slots up until the 22nd. However, realistically - if there is
behind the scenes movement on proposals peoples requirements may
change so I will be considering all presentation slot requests
even after that date. However, I would appreciate that requests
come in as early as possible.
Presentations and proposal docs need to be into me by wednesday
night November 7 so that John can get them posted by the friday.
cheers,
mike
