Dear Study Group Participants,
The Next
Generation 100 Gb/s Optical Ethernet Study Group will be
holding two meetings at the IEEE 802 March Plenary Session on
the Big Island Hawaii, USA;
- We will be holding an adjacent /
co-located interim with IEEE 802.3bj on Monday
morning (8am to 12pm), March 12, that will be used to
address issues that are common to the Study Group and
that Task Force.
- We will also be meeting on Tuesday,
Wednesday (13th and 14th) all day and Thursday morning (15th) as a
Study Group.
Registration
and meeting details may be found at http://802world.org/plenary/.
Please
make your reservations as soon as possible.
The agenda for our meeting will be to continue
working toward adoption of objectives, developing 5 Criteria
responses, and presentation of material that demonstrate the
validity of those responses. Therefore,
presentations for the week should be focused on objectives
and Five Criteria demonstration.
Presentations
should be kept to 20 minutes in duration, excluding time for
questions and answers. As previously requested, please
avoid taglines and other frilly content in your
presentations, focus on objectives and demonstration of 5
criteria support. I strongly recommend joint presentations
with broad support toward these goals rather than
independent presentation on specific items. We are a Study
Group, and wish to remain focused on the task at hand.
Requests
for presentation time must be made two Fridays preceding the
meeting. For the March meetings, requests for presentation
time shall be made to me and our vice-chair Kapil Shrikhande
and must be made by March
2 2012.
Please
include the words "Presentation Request" in the subject of
that email to simplify our tracking effort. The presenter
shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to
us by Tuesday of the week preceding the meetings. For the
both the co-located interim meeting and the March Plenary,
presentations must be submitted by to me and Kapil by March
6, 2012.
As you may be familiar, due to the heavy
overlap of participation between 802.3bj and our study group,
I am requesting that all presentations be named as follows;
name_0x_mmyy_100NGOPTX.pdf where name
is of the submitter, x is the number of the presentation
offered to this Study Group, mm the month, yy
the year. (ex: dove_01_0312_NG100GOPTX.pdf) My goal in using
this approach is to allow users to identify presentations to
the different groups by file-name, rather than having to
figure it out empirically.
As
a reminder, please make sure that all requests for
presentations or submissions of presentation material have
no restrictive notices at the bottom of the email. All such
emails will be refused and requests / presentations will not
be acknowledged.
All
individuals submitting presentations should review the
Procedures for Presenters Page - http://www.ieee802.org/3/bj/public/presentproc.html.
I
would greatly appreciate presenters reviewing their own
presentations to verify that they have followed the cited
Presentation Style Guidelines. Also, to support the web
site search tool used by the IEEE P802.3 web site the
'Document Information' fields of the PDF file must be
completed as follows:
Title:
Title of presentation
Author:
Name(s) of author(s)
Subject:
IEEE 802.3 Next Generation 100Gb/s Optical Study Group
As
a reminder to the group, we are a contribution driven
organization. It should not be assumed by anyone that work
will just get done without contributions to drive it and at
the same time, recognition that collaboration will lead to
higher efficiency and effectiveness. Areas not moving
forward will be brought to the attention of the Study Group
for consideration on how to make progress.
Aloha!
