Folks, The presentations and agenda can be found at: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/eee_study/public/may07/index.html. The EEESG meeting will begin at 8:30 AM on Tuesday, May 29th and 8 AM on Wednesday, May 30th. Note that on Wednesday the meeting will be recessed for 6 hours to accommodate those who win the CERN visit lottery (see details below) and may run long depending on our progress. If you are not one of the lucky winners or choose not to participate, I encourage you to work on the criteria documents so we can adopt them. I look forward to seeing you in Geneva. Regards, Mike CERN Visit Information During our meeting week in Geneva, our group will have the (quite special) opportunity to see a presentation on the CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory (and also the place where the world wide web was born!). CERN continues as a leading edge implementer of very high speed networking, on both a local and wide area basis. By special arrangement, this presentation will be given at ITU and will start during the Wednesday lunch hour. The room location will be announced later: This presentation will be open to all meeting attendees. - 12.30 - 13.30 hrs, at the ITU: The talk will cover: "What CERN is" "What CERN does" "Networking at CERN" and will be given by David Foster Communication Systems Group Leader at CERN After the talk, there will be a tour CERN's underground ATLAS detector - 13.30 - 14.00 hrs: transfer from the ITU to the ATLAS experiment - 14.00 - appr. 15.15 hrs: Visit of ATLAS experiment (http://atlas.ch/) - appr. 15.15 hrs - 15.45 hrs: transfer back to ITU Unfortunately, the tour portion is limited to 50 people (maximum of a groups size for safety reasons). Because of this (and the expected high level of interest) there will be a lottery/drawing to determine who gets to go on the Atlas tour. Most Session chairs have arranged their busy sessions to make the best accommodation in their agenda for this in spite of the tour's overlap with Wednesday afternoon session The lottery sign-up will be via the web. Go on-line at: http://standards.nortel.com/Ethernet/CERN.htm to enter. One entry per registrant. Entries will be checked for duplicates. In the unlikely event that all space are not taken by the 802.1 and 802.3 membership we will fill the remaining spaces with family members. There is provision for you to enter their names when you sign up. The web site will close sometime Sunday afternoon, so enter now. You will need your meeting registration number to sign-up and also to claim your seat on the bus. Geoff will conduct the drawing this coming Sunday evening. Winners of the lottery will be notified by e-mail early Monday morning. For any questions in advance or at the meeting, please get in touch with Geoff Thompson. -- Michael J.
