RE: [EFM] EFM Requirements
Richard,
I appreciate the invite to participate in the process.
I was able to attended the EFM meeting in Portland last month as the meeting
was
located in my neck of the woods. I gave a presentation on the needs of my
marketplace.
It can be retrieved from the 802.3 EFM public area at:

As I recall, you were also at this meeting. Vladimir also may remember my
presentation. He asked many of the same questions we have heard here, i.e.
why do I need a any solution from the EFM, etc.
I left the meeting feeling as though my message did not get through. From
you comments, I believe that my perceptions were accurate.
I have done my best to communicate the needs of my marketplace to this
standards body. I would like to continue the dialogue, by I feel that we
have reached the point of diminishing return. I've seen some great dialogue
from others, over the last week, with similar views of provisioning
challenges
for DSL futures.
I wish the group success and appreciate the opportunity to express my
views as a service provider. I need to return to managing projects
as the summer wanes, and there are DSLAMs to build.
Regards,
Frank Miller
