Steve,
As you know, we’ve got a lot of consensus in this project and interest in moving the project forward as quickly as we can. We’ve seen this with active ad hoc meetings continuing to happen weekly since September.
You are correct that we exist as a Study Group until after the plenary and Nescom approval, so no substantive decisions can be made until we meet as a task force. However, as discussed at the Sept interim meeting, there is definite interest in progressing
the technical discussions and consensus building at this week’s plenary meeting with the goal to be able to get to better refined proposals once we hit Task Force.
For those who are on the ad hoc going on right now, they will have heard me summarize the plan for next week. We have a full day of technical contributions that we should be able to cover on Tues Nov 4th. We will convene on Wed morning to (hopefully
briefly) close off the responses to the other WG chairs on our SG documentation. This should free people who to primarily attend the 802.3bs on Wed/Thurs. I’ve worked with John D’Ambrosia to see if we can coordinate topics and he is trying to shift his
electrical topics to the Wednesday to minimize the overlap for people wanting to cover both groups on that topic. Having said that John has a challenging agenda to manage, so it may not be as clean as we would hope.
Basic summary, I expect we will be having some good and well attended technical discussions on Tuesday for the 25 Gb/s Ethernet Study group and I look forward to making some good progress on the technical discussions (but no decisions).
Mark

Hi Eric, The main concern I have is not with the content but with the meeting context. The 25 Gb/s PAR is being submitted, and normally the study group would have only a short session to respond to questions from any of the other working groups. Since this isn’t a task force yet, there is no ability
to make any motions to adopt any technical solutions. Given the workload of P802.3bs and the 100% overlap of meeting time with P802.3bs, I think the attendance to hear this presentation will be so low as to be nearly irrelevant. I think you would get a lot
more meaningful response even on an ad hoc call, or January than in San Antonio. Regards, Steve From: Eric Baden [mailto:ericb@xxxxxxxxxxxx]
