Dear Study Group / Task Force Participants,
The IEEE 802.3 Next Generation BASE-T Study Group, or the IEEE P802.3bq 40GBASE-T Task Force will be meeting at the upcoming IEEE 802.3 interim meeting in Victoria, BC - Canada.
We will be meeting Thursday May 16th and Friday May 17th, 2013. The process under which a Study Group “graduates” to a task force has a number of steps, and is not formally complete yet. I hope to open the meeting as the P802.3bq Task Force, pending completion
of the formalities. Registration and meeting details may be found at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/interims/index.html. You are strongly encouraged to register and make your reservations as soon as possible. (April 19th is the deadline for best pricing registration)
Materials from the March plenary meeting are posted at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/NGBASET/public/mar13/index.html. The draft PAR, 5 Criteria and Objectives are posted at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/NGBASET/index.html.
Please prepare presentations for the initial meeting of the Task Force. Contributions are solicited that lead us to adopting a baseline proposal which fulfills our objectives.
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 requester should contact the chair prior to
making the request to justify the additional time.
Requests for presentation time must be made before the second Friday preceding the meeting. For the May Interim meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at
billw@xxxxxxxxxxxx and must be made by
midnight AOE on May 3rd, 2013.
The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at
billw@xxxxxxxxxxxx by Tuesday of the week preceding the meeting. For the May Interim meeting, presentations must be submitted by
midnight AOE on May 7th, 2013. Please copy our vice-chair, Dave Chalupsky
david.chalupsky@xxxxxxxxx on your requests and presentation submittal.
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.

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.
See you in Victoria.
Best Regards,
