The proposed responses may be found here:

Of the 20 comments, 15 are E and 5 are T. However, 18 out of the 20 are
out-of-scope for this recirculation as they are directed to text that was
unchanged from the previous draft. A Task Force has the option of accepting
out-of-scope comments. However, if the comment is substantive, an additional
recirculation is required. The editorial team has worked with David Law, the
802.3 Working Group Chair, to determine which comments are considered
"non-substantive". Non-substantive comments may be implemented without
forcing an additional recirculation. These comments, all of them E, have
been accepted in the proposed responses.
Out-of-scope comments may be rejected on scope with no further response
required.
All remaining out-of-scope comments have been rejected and the commenter has
been invited to resubmit at sponsor ballot. One of the rejected T comments
has been withdrawn by the commenter. The goal is to produce D3.0 out of the
10 December interim and begin sponsor ballot as soon as possible.
I have heard from a few of you that you will be attending the interim on 10
December in Santa Clara:

As we have few comments, David Law has given permission to reduce the
meeting to 2 hours from 10AM to noon.
If you wish to attend, please send me an email as soon as possible.
Regards,
Steve
