Re: November Meeting Plan




Dan,

The Montreal July 99 motion was for short-haul copper
@~10 Gb/s minimum length of 10 meters. Based on discussions
 both during and after the motion the minimum length of 10 meters
as an objective limited the appeal for a copper solution.

A longer minimum length would broaden the support and
also enable any subsequent motions for copper to be
different than the failed motion.

Regards,

Chris
