Even with Glen’s clarification (and providing that it is indeed a correct interpretation), it is still very confusing. The only thing that is clear is that we are adding more combinations to an already confusing set of wavelength plans and not really cutting down on the number of possibilities and options.
I personally do not know even how to vote on this proposal, if it were to come to this.

Hi Ed,
I am not entirely clear on the plan that you propose. I don’t see how data rates are to be upgraded for different kinds of networks.
For the coexistence with 10G-PON, it is more or less clear. There is only one possibility and 10G ONUs have to be taken out before deploying 100G upstream.
But for the coexistence with GPON, I can see three mutually-exclusive options and none of them support the entire upstream rate progression from 25G to 50G to 100G.
If an operator starts with GPON + 25G upstream, there is no way to add 50G upstream to the same network (forklift upgrade is required). If 25G upstream is skipped, then it is also not clear what is the way to get to full 100G: 50G + 2x25 or 2x50G. If the 50G upstream is feasible at that time, why would the operator add two wavelength at 25G instead of one at 50G to get to 100G. So, for the GPON coexistence, maybe only options 1 and 3 are viable.
For the greenfield, there are even more options:
In the Peacemaker plan, all initial optics options eventually converge into a single plan at 100G. But here, it seems the initial choice will determine the unique evolution path forever with no prospect of converging to a single plan. In the end, there would be three 100G upstream plans:
Is the above a correct interpretation of your proposal, or am I missing something?

Dear Colleagues,
We have the 100G-EPON (IEEE 802.3ca) consensus building meeting scheduled for this Thursday, October 26, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm MDT. Please let me know by 5:00 pm MDT Wednesday if you have any topics for the agenda.
As a reminder from the closing report of our last F2F meeting in Charlotte, the following topics were deemed important for contributions:
Actions:
Power budget
Close on 25Gbps power budget (Ed/Dekun/Umeda)
Characterization method for both transmitter and receiver (Dekun, John J, Vincent, Junwen, Frank, Greg, Umeda-san)
MPCP/MPRS
Discovery process / configuration / ONU capabilities field in RegREQ (Glen Oct 12 – Glen to doodle poll)
Fault Tolerance/Recovery/Loss of Channel
Wavelength plan
Peacemaker plan (Glen/Frank/Ed/Yong)
SOA preamp/dynamic range
Cost and feasibility still needs to be demonstrated (Dekun)
Line coding (Postponed until after FEC decision)
FEC information
Comparisons of parity matrices and different FEC (Mark/Bill/Bo)
Loud/soft ONU analysis – (Bill)
Operating in burst mode at 1E-2 (Vincent)
Latency (Shan)
Define a common set of assumptions and parameters common to all FEC analyses
Mark to send email after noodling
SERDES/CDR
Check margin for 10^-2 input BER (Yin, Ryan)
50G single wavelength
Technical feasibility of upstream bursts (Critical path item)
Wavelength plan
