Hi Mark,

Just downloaded the further updated minutes_3cu_0719_v3_unapproved.

Thanks for modifying the report on some of the topics raised in my email.

I am glad we don’t need to make another motion on the nomenclature.

However, despite the fact that you mention my colleague’s first name, Guangcan, correctly in your email, it’s still wrong in the minutes, where “Guancan” is used.

Then on presentation #5. I had thought that I had proposed an elegant, sufficiently short alternative with a similar amount of detail, but apparently you are not satisfied about that. The fact that Brian stated in his email that the summary is correct, is actually not relevant. This is not about being correct, but concise. As Steve Trowbridge stated, with today’s internet technology, the contents of presentations are available “forever” and anyway interested to look for more detail can always go to the meeting records.

If the TF insists to keep that level of detail for presentation #5, I may insist Monday morning to incorporate a similar amount of detail for other presentations, so that the level of detail is in balance with the various descriptions. For instance presentation # 7, by my colleague Yu, certainly contained a similar amount of detail (may be even more) than presentation #5, but that’s not evident from the minutes. I will keep a proposal for further details on presentation #7 at hand for discussion Monday morning.

Have safe travels and see you in Indianapolis.

Kind regards,

Peter

Peter,

Thank you once again for your thorough review.

I was hoping that my updated draft minutes would satisfy your comments from your last review. Apologies to Guangcan, I thought I’d corrected that.

Everyone can put their cameras away!!

With respect to the motion language, there is a typo in the minutes. Typically it is a cut/paste from the actual doc that the motions were taken in into the minutes doc. Not sure how an elusive “to” disappeared but Ken checked with the other doc and we’ve now corrected it in the minutes. It now reads: “Move to modify to the following nomenclature:”. I agree it could have been better worded in hindsight but I don’t think there was any ambiguity in the TF at the time on what was being discussed and decided.

As I explained before to you, my usual goal is to write some brief descriptions on the presentations in order that those not in attendance got some insight into what was presented. It seems that there are a few more bullet points under presentation #5, presumably because when Ken or I were putting the minutes together the intention was to flesh out some more on this new technical concept that had been introduced to the Task Force.

See you next week.

Mark

Hi Peter & Jeff,

I also don’t have a screen shot (which would be against the rules), but looking at my notes from the meeting, what I wrote was:

“Motion #5: Move to modify to the following nomenclature:”

I can’t tell you for sure whether my transcription was accurate, or whether this is something my fingers fixed as I was typing it because the words on the screen didn’t make sense to my brain.

Regards,

Steve

Peter,

The task force had previously “adopted” by motion nomenclature. We then had a contribution at a subsequent meeting questioning the earlier decision of the task force that prompted the task force to “modify” by motion its nomenclature. The meeting minutes are thus not inconsistent with the chain of events. I also do not have a photograph of the screen though.

Mark, Ken,

Since presentation #5 is mine, I thought I would comment that the minutes relating to that presentation look correct to me (as currently posted ) and I would not suggest making any revisions to them.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Mark, Ken,

I have looked at the updated unapproved meeting minutes of the P802.3cu meeting in Vienna.

I noted that you have taken account some of my comments sent to you and Kent off the reflector.

Before going into detail I would like to point a potential issue with respect to motion #6 as it is mentioned in the draft minutes:

The way it’s currently written doesn’t make sense, because it’s suggested that the new nomenclature is modified to ?

Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take a picture of the screen at the meeting, otherwise I would have been able to check what was shown on the screen.

I think that if it was as written in the report, we may need to take another motion to correct it by something that says “move to adopt ……”.

So that should be a topic on the agenda for next week’s meeting.

Then the report:

My colleague’s name is still wrong: Last (family) name is Mi and first name is Guangcan (and not the other way around).
Presentation # 1:
- It’s stated:
  - “Presenter indicated that consistency between the other recent IEEE standards (P802.3ck 100GBASE-KR1) would be preferred.”
- P802.3ck is not yet a (recent) standard, so please modify to:
  - “Presenter indicated that consistency with agreements in P802.3ck 100GBASE-KR1 would be preferred.”
Presentation #5:
- I had indicated before that I feel that a bit too much detail has been given on the various presentations, where there is always the risk of being not sufficiently complete, however the details provided on this presentation are a bit out of balance with the details on the other presentations.
- Therefore I propose the current bullets to be replaced by:
  - Presented experimental results on a technology agnostic technique, using bottom eye compression in the transmitter, to mitigate dispersion penalty towards lower TDECQ.
  - Presenter claimed that there was no impact to currently proposed IEEE transmitter specifications and measurement methodology.

Kind regards,

Peter Stassar
