[802.3_100GNGOPTX] Call for Presentations, Agenda - July 2012 Plenary

[Daniel Dove <ddove@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Study Group Participants,

The Next Generation 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Optical Ethernet Study Group will be meeting at the IEEE 802.3 July 2012 Plenary in San Diego , USA.  The Study Group will be meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (July 17-19 ) times TBD.  Registration and meeting details may be found at http://802world.org/plenary/. You are encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible.
 
At the May interim, our SG adopted our PAR and 5 criteria responses related to our objectives.  These have been delivered to David Law (Chair of 802.3) for pre-submittal to 802.3 and the EC.   The goal of the July meeting will be to continue with presentations related to our objectives, and respond to any comments that might be received from 802.3 or the EC from our pre-submitted PAR and 5C.

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 July Plenary meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made no later than midnight PDT on July 6, 2012.  The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me no later than midnight PDT on Tuesday  July 10, 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.  We are a technical group making technology decisions, so please pay careful attention to the request to maintain a reasonable file size, avoid restrictive notices, excessive graphics and glitter, and avoid marketing pitches.  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 P802.3 Next Generation 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Optical Ethernet Study Group
