This schedule will be continuously updated to include updated meeting start/stop times, and meeting room assignments as these are finalized.

Call For Presentations:

We are working towards adoption of PHY baselines. The more consensus that can be achieved prior to the meeting the better. Joint presentations are preferred---please use the email reflector and teleconferences to build consensus before the meeting.

In order to progress our draft, text is needed for the adopted baselines. Our editor’s job is to take supplied text and integrate it into the draft, not to create the text itself. If you have questions on this process, please contact Marek Hajduczenia, P802.3bp Task Force Editor-in-Chief.

Please see ieee802.org/3/bp/public/presentproc.html for detailed presentation guidelines. Please ensure you follow the filename guidelines.

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 upcoming meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at scarlson@xxxxxxxx   and must be made by midnight AOE on May 2nd, 2014.  Please put this into you subject line: P802.3bp Presentation Request.

The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at scarlson@xxxxxxxx  by Tuesday of the week preceding the meeting.  For the upcoming meeting, presentations must be submitted by midnight AOE on May 7th, 2014.  Please make sure that all requests for presentations or submissions of presentation material have no restrictive notices in the presentations or in request email.  All such emails will be refused and requests / presentations will not be acknowledged.

For your presentation request, please include the following;

Title of Presentation
Abstract
Time Requested
Presenter, Affiliation
Co-Author(s), Affiliation(s)

We would greatly appreciate presenters reviewing their own presentations to verify that they have followed the cited Presentation Style Guidelines. If there are questions related to relative cost discussion, please see the presentation by IEEE counsel at http://www.ieee802.org/3/100GNGOPTX/public/may12/lindsay_01_0512_optx.pdf and contact me if there are additional questions.

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:

Filename: presentername_3bp_nn_mmyy.pdf
Title: Title of presentation
Author: Name(s) of author(s)
Subject: IEEE P802.3bp 1000BASE-T1

Timeline

The Task Force also must adopt a timeline. I had intended to present on this in March in China. I will circulate a draft timeline prior to the meeting for discussion.

A reminder: we are a contribution-driven organization. Without contributions the work will not progress.

I look forward to seeing you all in Norfolk next month.

Regards,

Steve
