Dear Colleagues,
Draft 0.9 of IEEE P802.3az is ready for review. I would like to thank the
editors for their hard work in producing this draft.
This draft is the circulation of an editors draft for information. You will
see many gaps and TBDs - this is to be expected at this stage.
Further, any areas that editors felt were not covered by the approved
baselines and required to be "filled in" to complete the draft have been
highlighted by editor's notes.
We encourage input on [1] the correct incorporation of all
previously-approved baseline proposals, [2] significant technical errors
and [3] significant open areas not noted by editors notes. In addition we
encourage input on significant open areas both in comments as well as
presentations at the upcoming interim meeting.
We request this input, through use of the commenting tool as additional
structure to our process, by Tuesday September 9th 23:59 AOE. Our ability
to deal with anything received after that date is extremely limited as the
editorial team needs time to generate responses in time for the meeting.
Please note that all previously unapproved text as well as new features
will require approval by the Task Force as we have been doing all along.
The goal is to get to a Task Force review with a 35 day full scope review
using D1.0. This will be discussed in detail in September. It will also
depend on the progress made in September and will require a motion by
the TF.
