Sorry for the multiple ping; my link to the straw polls was an older version.
Please use this one: Steve Steven E. Swanson Senior Standards Manager Distinguished Associate Global Technology & Industry Standards MT&E Corning Optical Communications 4200 Corning Place Charlotte, NC 28216 m 607-725-1129 Standards are a bridge between markets and technologies; whoever controls the bridge controls the future… From: Swanson, Steven E <SwansonSE@xxxxxxxxxxx> 802.3cz participants, At our meeting on April 6, I presented the following contribution regarding PMD selection. I noted that based on Straw Polls conducted at the IEEE 802.3cz meeting on March 17 that no consensus existed to select a PMD for baseline text. We are now 3 months
down the road in the development of our standard, and in my opinion, while we have made some progress, our inability to make progress on consensus on several topics threatens our timeline and the confidence our customers will have on the ability of IEEE 802.3cz
to produce a timely multi-gig optical automotive standard. I also noted that current options that have had some discussion in our TF could lead to ~50 individual PMDs and in my opinion (again), that is NOT a standard. We need to make some tough decisions (that is a requirement for developing a standard and our primary job as experts). At our last meeting on June 8, I submitted a contribution with a list of Straw Polls and asked for your input on that contribution.
It is important that we get some get some good data on the preferences of the group; I purposely did not include an “abstain” or “need more information” as options
because I really want people to make a choice based on your expert opinion. https://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/cz/public/15_jun_2021/swanson_3cz_01_150621_straw_polls.pdf Picking one solution for the standard is not the end of the consideration for the other solutions. There are other avenues, e.g., MSAs or other options to recognize
technologies. IEEE is good at doing this; most times we get the selection right, some times we might be wrong. When we get it wrong, we have included other technologies at a later
time based on new information or market demand. An example is our early work on data center standards: Initially, we only standardized SR and LR. We now have SR, LR, FR and DR. FR and DR were not included initially based on several factors that then were addressed and
included at a later point. My personal view:

Colleagues, The comments received on P802.3cz/D1.1 with proposed responses have been posted to our Task Force web pages (https://www.ieee802.org/3/cz/comments/index.html). Our Chief Editor, Mr. Torres, presented a report on the comments during our 8 June teleconference (Chief Editor's Report). This report also includes the
plan for considering these comments, and explanations for the dispositions of some “buckets" of comments as groups. Mr. Torres has also indicated he would be pleased to receive suggestions for improvements to the proposed comment responses (and encourages
review of the "Grammar and syntax" bucket of comments for any improvement in proposed responses). We will begin comment resolution during our 15 June teleconference where we will also set aside some time for presentations (we have three presentations we were not able to get to during our 8 June teleconference).
