[STDS-802-3-25G] Late contribution

["Mark Nowell (mnowell)" <mnowell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

I have received a late contribution request for the 802.3by Task Force meeting and have posted it on the webpage:

http://www.ieee802.org/3/by/public/Jan16/hidaka_3by_02_0116.pdf 

Mr Hidaka has indicated that if his i-31 comment proposal fails to be adopted, he would be interested to share an alternative proposal to the TF.  As this is a late contribution, I would usually handle this later in the meeting after the TF has had a chance to review and complete its planned work and contributions.  However, since this alternative proposal has similar wide reaching implications to the draft as the original proposal, if we are to consider it, we will have to address it early in the meeting.

I’m therefore alerting people to the availability of the contribution so they can have a chance to review and I will be asking the TF during the meeting if there is support to listening to this additional presentation even though it was received after the deadline.

Thanks...Mark
