[STDS-802-3-400G] IEEE 802 July 2016 Plenary Announcement



All, 

The IEEE P802.3bs 400 GbE Task Force will be meeting during the IEEE 802 July Plenary Meeting (week of July 24, 2016) in San Diego, CA, USA.  Meeting details, hotel reservations and registration links may be found at the following URL: http://802world.org/plenary/.    Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible.  

 

The Task Force will be meeting Mon 1pm, July 25, to Tues noon, July 26.  Per our schedule and in anticipation of a successful meeting in June, our Task Force is scheduled to request going to Working Group Ballot at the IEEE 802.3 Closing Plenary on Thursday July 28.  This will require a vote by the IEEE 802.3 Working Group (which is normally ruled “Technical” and requires >= 75%).  Therefore, I appreciate the support of all Task Force participants to be present, and hope all Task Force participants with 802.3 voting rights will be present to vote.

 

The scope and agenda of the meeting will be:

·       Resolution of comments received against D1.5, in preparation for requesting to go to working group ballot.

·       Debate & Selection of Roman vs Arabic nomenclature

 

Presentations should focus on these topics.  Please note that priority will be given to comment resolution and presentations addressing these items.  Presentation requests regarding any other topics will be subject to time availability, pending completion of agenda.

Please note that a request for presentation must be made, even for presentations addressing comments submitted against Draft 1.5.  An indication that a presentation will be provided in the submitted comment is not sufficient.

 

Presentations should be kept to 20 minutes in duration, excluding time for questions and answers.  Requests for presentation time greater than 20 minutes will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the requestor should contact the chair prior to making the request to justify the additional time.  As Chair, I reserve the right to introduce parties to each other in the interest of consensus building, if the two (or more) parties are planning a presentation on a similar topic.

 

The presentation request date is two Thursdays preceding the meeting.  For the July Plenary meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx  and must be made by Thursday, July 14, 2016.  The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx by Monday of the week preceding the meeting.  For the July Plenary, presentations must be submitted by Monday, July 18, 2016..  While deadline dates have been provided, in the interest of meeting planning, I will appreciate if individuals contact me as soon as possible with their presentation requests.

As a reminder, please make sure that all requests for presentations or submissions of presentation material have no restrictive notices at the bottom of the email.  All such emails will be refused and requests / presentations will not be acknowledged.  

 

All individuals submitting presentations should review the Procedures for Presenters Page: http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/public/presentproc.html.      

 

I would greatly appreciate presenters reviewing their own presentations to verify that they have followed the cited Presentation Style Guidelines.  Also, to support the web site search tool used by the IEEE P802.3 web site the 'Document Information' fields of the PDF file must be completed as follows: 

 

Title: Title of presentation 

Author: Name(s) of author(s) 

Subject: IEEE P802.3bs 200GbE and 400GbE Task Force

 

As a reminder to the group, we are a contribution driven organization.   It should not be assumed by anyone that work will just get done without contributions to drive it.  Areas not moving forward will be brought to the attention of the Task Force for consideration on how to address.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone in July.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

 

Best Regards,
