[802.3_NGMMF] NGMMF Study Group straw polls and technical motions from Geneva Interim

["Lingle, Robert L (Robert)" <rlingle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

The straw polls and technical motions from the Geneva Interim are posted on the 802.3 website at this link.

We adopted two objectives for 400G, over both 4 and 8 pairs.

We failed to adopt an objective for 200G over 1 pair.

We approved a PAR and CSD Responses, which were pre-submitted for comment by David Law.

This puts us on track to possibly become a Task Force in May – subject to approval by 802.3 WG and the higher governing bodies

 

Tentatively in March, there will be:

1.      Time to respond to comments from other groups and the EC

2.      Further consideration of a 200G objective

3.      Further consideration of BMP and DI for our 4 pair and 8 pair 400G objectives

 

I have announced two ad hoc telecons for 2/8 and 2/22.

 

Warm regards,

Robert
