[802.3_100GNGOPTX] Call for Presentations

[Daniel Dove <ddove@xxxxxxx>]

Study Group Participants,

Because of the holiday season and high expectation that people will be taking time from the office, I am sending this out a little early to get you thinking about presentations for the January Interim.

A reminder:

�         Friday, January 13th at 11:59pm (AOE) is our deadline for receiving your request for presentation time.

�         Tuesday, January  17^th at 11:59pm (AOE) is our deadline for receiving your presentation in PDF format.

Call for Presentations:

Please consider how you may contribute to the Study Group effort to define our project objectives. If you can coordinate with others to produce a joint presentation, this would also be very helpful. Our January Interim is likely to be a very busy meeting, so focus is very important.

As a reminder, I will emphasize that presentations should be focused on identifying an objective for the Study Group, and justifying it.

The goal of our January meeting should be to identify and establish some of the more challenging objectives that have been discussed in prior meetings.

For example, Pete Anslow's November Presentation on Objectives illustrates what we need to do.

In addition, we need to begin work on the PAR and 5 Criteria presentations for SG review and approval if we intend to request project approval in March. I believe it would be best to prepare for that, and if we determine that more time is necessary to solidify our objectives, we will have that work ready.

If your presentation addresses a common-interest between p802.3bj and this Study Group, please send a copy of your request for time to both John D'Ambrosia and me.

Thank you for participating.

Regards,

Dan Dove
