At the March Plenary, the SG adopted a
number of objectives, and our tasks for the May meeting
include development of our PAR and 5 criteria responses
related to our objectives. I am working with the leadership
of our SG to develop proposed wording and plan to distribute
it via the reflector for review, comments, and to seek
support. In addition to our PAR and 5C work, presentations
that supplement the work we have already done to justify our
objectives is desired. The goal of the meeting will be to
leave the May interim meeting with an approved PAR and set
of 5 Criteria Responses so that we can pre-submit them to
802.3 and the SEC prior to the July meeting.
Presentations
should be kept to 20 minutes in duration, excluding time for
questions and answers. Requests for presentation time
greater than 20 minutes will be considered on a case-by-case
basis, and the requester should contact the chair prior to
making the request to justify the additional time.
Requests for
presentation time must be made two Fridays preceding the
meeting. For the May Interim meeting, requests for
presentation time shall be made no
later than midnight PDT on
May 4, 2012. The presenter shall e-mail a
PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me no
later than midnight PDT on Tuesday
May 8, 2012.
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/3/100GNGOPTX/public/presentproc.html.
I would greatly
appreciate presenters reviewing their own presentations to
verify that they have followed the cited Presentation Style
Guidelines. Please
pay careful attention to the request to maintain
a reasonable file size, avoid restrictive
notices, excessive
graphics and glitter, and avoid marketing pitches.
We are a technical group making technology decisions. 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:

Subject: IEEE
P802.3 Next Generation 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Optical
Ethernet 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. Areas
not moving forward will be brought to the attention of the
Study Group for consideration on how to address.
