Dear
Task Force Participants,
The
IEEE P802.3bm Task Force will be meeting at the upcoming IEEE
802.3 plenary meeting in Geneva, CH on
Tuesday July 16th through Thursday July 18th, 2013. I
anticipate full days on Tuesday and Wednesday and also
meeting Thursday morning. Registration and meeting details may
be found at http://www.ieee802.org/3/interims/index.html.
You are strongly encouraged to register and make your
reservations as soon as possible.
As
you are aware, we have moved Draft 1.0 to Task Force
review and we anticipate a significant
part
of our meeting time will be dedicated to comment
resolution. Per motion #15 in Victoria, the SMF ad hoc has
continued to address a possible baseline proposal for
inclusion in July, however, our time for consideration of
this proposal will be limited.
It is strongly recommended that baseline proponents carefully
consider what material will be necessary to achieve broad
consensus and incorporate new material
that will help persuade the Task Force to adopt their
proposals rather than repeat material that has already been
presented. Repetitive material will be rejected.
Please note if
you are intending to give a presentation in support of a
suggested remedy (or provide any supplemental material) for
any comments, please indicate this in the “Suggested Remedy”
field in your comment submission. Please note that formal
requests for presentation time must still be made to the
Chair. Presentations
related to comment resolution should be kept to less than
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 before the second
Friday preceding the meeting. For the upcoming
meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at
dan_dove@xxxxxxxx
and must be made by midnight AOE on July 5th, 2013.
The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the
presentation to me at dan_dove@xxxxxxxx
by Tuesday of the week preceding the meeting. For the upcoming
meeting, presentations must be submitted by midnight
AOE on July 9th, 2013. Please copy our
vice-chair, Kapil Shrikhande <kapils@xxxxxxxx> on
your requests and presentation submittal.
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.
For
your presentation request, please include the following;
Title

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
Task Force for consideration on how to address.
See
you in Geneva.
Best
Regards,
