Please note: this email covers three groups: 802.3bq, 25GBASE-T and NGEABT study groups. Dear Colleagues, As you may have discerned from the 802.3 meeting announcement below, meeting time and space is at a premium at the March’15 plenary. We have been allocated a total of 1.5 days for P802.3bq, the NGEABT study group, and the 25GBASE-T study group. (This is a temporary situation – we have more time at the May meeting.) Highlights: Deadline for requesting presentations: 11:59pm Friday February 27, 2015 AOE Deadline for submitting presentations: 11:59pm Tuesday March 3, 2015 AOE Meeting Information The IEEE P802.3bq 40GBASE-T Task Force, 25GBASE-T Study Group, and NGEABT Study Group will be meeting at January 802.3 plenary in Berlin, all day Wednesday and Thursday morning. Meeting information from David Law may be found at the bottom of this email. Scheduling Note: In order to make efficient use of the time available we will run the meeting
as a joint session between the IEEE P802.3bq 40GBASE-T Task Force, 25GBASE-T Study Group, and NGEABT Study Group.
This will allow us to make a single round of introductions, single set of attendance and minutes, etc. and move with agility between work items for the various groups based upon their priority. Goals and Priorities for this meeting:
·
NGEABT: Respond to any comments received on the PAR & CSD by 6:30pm Wednesday. Comments may be received as late as 6:30pm on Tuesday that week, so it is impossible to estimate in advance the time needed.
·
25GBASE-T: Respond to any comments received on the PAR & CSD modifications to P802.3bq by 6:30pm Wednesday. Comments may be received as late as 6:30pm on Tuesday that week, so it is impossible to estimate in advance the
time needed.
·
P802.3bq: resolve comments on D1.2. Schedule priority is given to comment resolution, and any presentations relating to comments. Please indicate if your presentation is related to a comment on D1.2. As our plan is to
request approval of 802.3 to go to working group ballot, all changes to the draft must be reviewed with 802.3 at the closing plenary on Thursday afternoon. Thus we have the goal of completing comment resolution on Wednesday to allow the editorial team to
prepare the changes before Thursday afternoon. Given the priorities above, our agenda in general will be
-
Opening business, introductions, housekeeping
-
Review of NGEABT SG PAR & CSD comments. Resolve or assign an ad hoc as necessary
-
Review of 25GBASE-T SG comments on modifications to the P802.3bq PAR & CSD. Resolve or assign an ad hoc as necessary
-
P802.3bq D1.2 comment resolution
-
Other presentations A more detailed agenda will be published in the week prior to the meeting, after the deadline for presentation requests and P802.3bq comments has passed.

The IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled to occur in the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center, Berlin, Germany. As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session
announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found through the 'Next IEEE 802 Plenary session notice' link on our home web page <www.ieee802.org/3>.
To receive email updates and reminders for the plenary sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL reflector <http://listserv.ieee.org>. The IEEE 802.3 working group (WG) opening plenary meeting will begin at 10:00 on Monday 9th March, and the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary meeting will begin at 13:00 on Thursday 12th March. Task Force (TF), Study Group (SG), standing
committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings. The draft agenda, as well as liaison letters received so far, are available in the minutes area <http://www.ieee802.org/3/minutes/mar15/index.html>
and will be updated as required prior to the meeting. The agenda will be approved at the meeting. We will gather two records of attendance, the attendance tracking tool and attendance books in each meeting. The attendance tool will be the only official record of attendance for building and maintaining WG membership. The meeting attendance
books will be used to record the attendance in the minutes for each meeting and it is important that you review these minutes to make sure your attendance is recorded correctly as this will be the backup should there be an issue with the attendance tool. Attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three of the four days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how long a particular TF or SG might be meeting. The attendance tracking tool will only allow sign in on Monday
at the opening IEEE 802.3 plenary (not during the Monday afternoon meetings) and on Thursday at the closing IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting (not during the Thursday morning meetings). A number of WG decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3 meetings (most on
Thursday during the closing meeting). Depending on the amount of discussion, the Thursday closing meeting may run beyond our target 18:00 ending time, so please plan your travel accordingly. Additional subgroup information follows, please note that meeting day information is provisional. Information for contacting Task Force chairs, and archival project information can be found on our web site: <www.ieee802.org/3>.
Please note that IEEE P802.3by 25Gb/s Ethernet Task Force will be holding a short interim meeting on the Monday morning prior to the IEEE 802.3 Opening plenary.

The Study Group has developed and approved the draft IEEE P802.3bz Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Media Access Control Parameters,
Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Operation PAR, as well as supporting CSD and objectives. The draft PAR, CSD and objectives are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at this meeting prior to seeking approval of both the
PAR and CSD by the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee. The draft PAR, CSD and objectives can be accessed as follows: Draft PAR request: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/NGEBASET/NGEABT_PAR_DRAFTa_15-Jan-15.pdf> Draft CSD: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/NGEBASET/802d3_NGEABT_CSD_SG_approved.pdf>
Draft objectives: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/NGEBASET/ngeabt_objectives_draft_SG_approved.pdf> Since the 13th February 2015 submission deadline for the 25th March 2015 NesCom meeting occurs prior to the date of the March IEEE 802 EC meeting, I have pre-submitted the draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that any changes to
the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary review process will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator and should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group or the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee not approve the submission, it will be removed from the
NesCom agenda. Questions about the Study Group can be addressed to the Study Group Chair, Mr David Chalupsky. IEEE 802.3 25GBASE-T Study Group <Wed, Thu morning> --------------------------------------------------- Study Group home page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/25GBASET/public/index.html> This will be the second meeting of the IEEE 802.3 25GBASE-T Study Group. The Study Group has developed and approved the draft PAR modification request for IEEE P802.3bq to expand the scope of the IEEE P802.3bq 40GBASE-T project to include
25GBASE-T. One of the requirements of a PAR modification request is that item 8.1 'Additional Explanatory Notes' contain a brief explanation of why the PAR is being modified. Unfortunately this item was empty in the IEEE P802.3bq 40GBASE-T PAR
modification request, and while the IEEE-SA myProject tool will allow a draft to be saved with this item blank, it will not permit submittal until it has been completed. As this would have prevented pre-submitted to 25th March 2015 NesCom meeting, after consultation
with the IEEE 802.3 25GBASE-T Study Group Chair, and notice to the IEEE 802.3 25GBASE-T Study Group reflector <http://ieee802.org/3/NGBASET/email/msg00466.html>
to which there were no comment or objection, I added the text found in item 8.1 of the draft PAR modification request referenced below.
A set of CSD responses (rather than updated 5C responses) are supplied to support this PAR modification request. The draft PAR modification, supporting CSD and updated objectives are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at this
meeting prior to seeking approval of both the PAR and CSD by the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive committee. The draft PAR, CSD and objectives can be accessed as follows: Draft PAR request: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/25GBASET/draft_P802.3bq_PAR_modification_300115.pdf> Draft CSD: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/25GBASET/draft_P802.3bq_modified_CSD.pdf> Draft objectives: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/25GBASET/draft_P802.3bq_modified_objectives.pdf> Since the 13th February 2015 submission deadline for the 25th March 2015 NesCom meeting occurs prior to the date of the March IEEE 802 EC meeting, I have pre-submitted the draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that any changes to
the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary review process will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator and should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group or the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee not approve the submission, it will be removed from the
NesCom agenda. Questions about the Study Group can be addressed to the Study Group Chair, Mr David Chalupsky. IEEE 802.3 Industry Connections Next Generation Ethernet Passive Optical Network (NG-EPON) Ad Hoc <Mon afternoon> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ad Hoc home page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/ad_hoc/ngepon/index.html> This will be the ninth meeting of the IEEE 802.3 Industry Connections Next Generation Ethernet Passive Optical Network (NG-EPON) Ad Hoc. The activity has been chartered to generate a report which will detail: (a) operators' requirements,
(b) technological and economic tradeoffs of various approaches to next generation EPON, (c) the state of the art for optical subscriber access network technology, and (d) potential solutions that merit further consideration. It is expected that the Ad Hoc
will be seeking Working Group approval of the report at the IEEE 802.3 closing plenary of Thursday afternoon.
Questions about the Ad Hoc can be addressed to the acting Ad Hoc Chair, Mr Marek Hajduczenia. Project Authorization Requests (PARs) ------------------------------------- In addition to the two PARs are being submitted by IEEE 802.3 as noted above, the following are the PARs from other Working Groups for consideration at the plenary. Comments on these PARs are due by 18:30 on Tuesday so if there is any
interest in reviewing an Ad Hoc will have to be chartered to generate and submit the comments. Participants are invited to discuss any concerns about the below PARs on the IEEE 802.3 Dialog reflector <stds-802-3-dialog@xxxxxxxx>
