[802.3_1PPODL] 802.3bu approved
All -
The 802 EC just approved the 802.3bu PAR, so we're a step closer to being a task force. Steve reminds me that the official final step doesn't happen until December, but unless something goes terribly wrong we'll be a Task Force by the time we get to Indian Wells.
So - polish off those technical presentations and be prepared to start voting and creating the draft in January. We're scheduled to meet Monday and Tuesday, January 20 and 21. 802.3bt (4P) will meet Thursday and Friday, so they won't overlap with us at all, and 802.3bp (RTPGE) meets Tuesday through Thursday, so they only overlap on Tuesday. I'd like to do as many technical presentations Monday as we can, and save any bureaucracy and motions for Tuesday afternoon. I'll arrange with Steve to hold any critical PoDL motions during a break in RTPGE so we don't end up with a time conflict.
At some point in the next few weeks, our website will change, and I'll make sure to post a notice to this reflector when that happens. Also, remember that this reflector is open to all members of the group to post to, and can and should be used to generate consensus around presentations before the meeting.
Thanks to all who contributed to the Study Group, and I'll see you all in Indian Wells -
Dave
