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 .

Group

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.
