Ben,
I didn't see mention of the CM SG in
Bob's email below. Do you have an idea when the CM SG will be meeting?
Sorry if you've already said so.
Thanks.

IEEE 802.3 Meeting Announcement
Colleagues:
IEEE 802.3 will meet July 12-15 at the Embassy Suites
Downtown, Portland, Oregon, USA. The meeting announcement can be found on
a link on our home web page (www.ieee802.org/3) and
an update on the meeting will be sent separately to this reflector. At
this point, it is expected that all of our meetings (with the possible
exception of the closing 802.3 plenary meeting) will be held at the Embassy
Suites (this is a logistically challenging meeting for our meeting planners
based on the available space).
The opening 802.3 meeting will begin at 1:00 pm
on July 12 , and the closing 802.3 meeting will be 1:00 pm July 15. These
meetings will follow our typical agenda. (For typical ordering of topics,
please see the minutes from previous meetings. A detailed agenda will be
approved at the meeting.) As usual, task force, study group, standing committee
and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and
closing 802.3 meetings. It will be a busy week, and I look forward to seeing
you in Portland . Additional meeting information follows and contact
information for task force and study group chairs can be found on our web site
www.ieee802.org/3 .

TASK FORCE
/ STUDY GROUP MEETINGS
802.3ah Task Force -
Ethernet in the First Mile (tentatively, no meeting)
The P802.3ah project has been submitted to RevCom for
ratification at the June Standards Board meetings. If that ratification takes
place, the only item of business for P802.3ah is to give its final
report. If for some reason the project is not approved, the Task Force
will meet to address the relevant issues. An update on the results from
the Standards Board meetings and consequent clarification of July P802.3ah
activity will be sent to the reflector after the Standards Board meetings.
802.3an Task Force -
10GBASE-T (Tue-Thu)
The 10GBASE-T Task Force is now in the process
of creating its first draft. As part of that, the meeting will include
technical proposals and work toward selection of the proposals to be included
in that first draft. Those wishing to present during the task force
meetings should contact the Chair, Mr. Brad Booth.
802.3ap Task Force -
Backplane Ethernet (Tues-Thu)
The task force was organized at the May
meeting, and in July will be hearing and evaluating technical proposals for
possible inclusion in a first draft to be created later this year. Those
wishing to present during the task force meetings should contact the Chair, Mr.
Adam Healey.
802.3aq Task Force
- 10GBASE-LRM (Mon-Thu)
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Over FDDI Grade
Multimode Fiber Study Group became the P802.3aq Task Force at its May
meeting. The task force will be hearing and evaluating proposals for
inclusion in a first draft to be created later this year. Those wishing
to present during the task force meetings should contact the Chair, Mr. David
Cunningham.
802.3REVam Task Force
- Maintenance 8 and revision of IEEE Std 802.3-2002 (Wed)
As
required by IEEE-SA process, we are engaged in a revision project for IEEE Std
802.3. A consolidated draft has been created merging IEEE Std
802.3ae-2002, IEEE Std 802.3af-2003, IEEE Standard 802.3aj-2003 and IEEE
Standard 802.3ak-2004 into IEEE Std 802.3-2002. This draft is currently
being reviewed by the editorial teams for the listed amendments to validate
that the merge is correct. It is also planned that P802.3ah will be
merged into the consolidated edition after it is approved as an IEEE
Standard. The revision project will also incorporate competed errata and
maintenance change requests that are ready for ballot. It is expected
that the task force will be releasing
the consolidated edition to the Working Group prior to the July meeting in
anticipation of requesting a Working Group Ballot at the closing plenary.
Rules, Maintenance,
Interpretations (tentative, Wed)
The standing committees on Rules,
Maintenance and Interpretations will meet as required by requests for any rules
changes, maintenance requests or interpretation of the standard. No rules
changes are proposed as of the date of this announcement, but there are additional
maintenance requests and interpretations requests for consideration in July.
Frame Extensions CFI/Ad
Hoc (tentative, Tue)
The proposed 802.3ar project will be
proposed to define extensions to IEEE Std 802.3 in support of protocols that
require header (and possibly trailer) fields required by protocols like
P802.1ad Provider Bridging and P802.1AE MACSec. A combined Call For
Interest and Ad Hoc working meeting will be held to discuss the need for this
project, its scope and possible approach to implementing the capabilities
requested of us by 802.1 that were the subject of a joint technical plenary
during the March plenary meetings.

CALL FOR INTEREST
Residential Ethernet
(tentative Tuesday evening)
Richard Brand , Nortel Networks (rbrand@nortelnetworks.com)
Residential Ethernet provides time-sensitive delivery
between non-disruptive plug-and-play synchronized end points over reliable
point-to-point full-duplex cable media.
Time-sensitive audio-video applications for in
home use will need some type of bandwidth allocations with predictable latency
and low-jitter delivery to guarantee a constant level of quality of experience
(QoE). Ensuring real-time services through routers, data security,
wireless media, and developing new PMDs are beyond the
scope of this project.
