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;

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,
