[8023-10GEPON] Call for Presentations - July Plenary
Dear Colleagues,
This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting presentations for
the next meeting is Monday, July 9, 2007 (AoE).
Please note that, as directed by motion #8 from May meeting
(http://www.ieee802.org/3/av/public/2007_05/3av_0705_minutes_unapproved.
pdf), we now have somewhat stricter procedures in place: Presentations
submitted after the deadline will not be allocated agenda time at the
meeting.
All presentations are now required to be submitted using a web form on
10GEPON website: http://www.ieee802.org/3/av/presentproc.html
Some Tasks for July meeting
--------------------------
1) Our editors are busy preparing draft 0.8 based on currently accepted
baseline proposals.
2) The wavelength ad hoc group shall develop a recommendation on central
upstream wavelength (see Motions #4 and #4a).
3) We have two strong camps advocating PIN@ONU and APD@ONU.
We identified a number of arguments for and against each proposal; some
arguments are in direct contradiction with each other. I expect that
representatives of both camps will find and present reliable references
to justify their respective arguments and that by the next meeting we
will reduce the number of contradicting arguments.
4) The wavelength ad hoc has shown that the only feasible downstream
band (for coexistence) is 6 nm wide centered around 1577 nm. It also was
stated that this is a more expensive solution than 20 nm wide at 1490
nm, and it would be an unnecessary burden for carriers doing green-field
deployment of 10GEPON. We need to continue this discussion and decide
whether we have only one or two downstream wavelength, keeping
"one-solution-for-one-problem" requirement in mind.
5) The chair will present "simplex PMD" proposal to working group during
802.3 opening session, so that we can address .3 recommendations during
TF sessions later in the week.
I encourage all participants to work in groups and utilize the reflector
to the greatest extent possible.
