[802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 July 2016 plenary meeting announcement
Dear Colleagues,
IEEE 802.3 will meet Monday 25th July through Thursday 28th July 2016 in San Diego, CA, USA. The IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled to occur in the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA, USA. As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found through the 'Next IEEE 802 Plenary session notice' link on our home web page <www.ieee802.org/3>. To receive email updates and reminders for the plenary sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL reflector <http://listserv.ieee.org>.
The IEEE 802.3 working group (WG) opening plenary meeting will begin at 10:00 on Monday 25th July, and the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary meeting will begin at 13:00 on Thursday 28th July. Task Force (TF), Study Group (SG), standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings as illustrated in our typical schedule also found on our web site <http://www.ieee802.org/3/plenary.html>. The draft agenda, as well as liaison letters received so far, are available in the minutes area <http://www.ieee802.org/3/minutes/jul16/index.html> and will be updated as required prior to the meeting. The agenda will be approved at the meeting.
We will gather two records of attendance, the attendance tracking tool and attendance books in each meeting. The attendance tool will be the only official record of attendance for building and maintaining WG membership. The meeting attendance books will be used to record the attendance in the minutes for each meeting and it is important that you review these minutes to make sure your attendance is recorded correctly as this will be the backup should there be an issue with the attendance tool.
Attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three of the four days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how long a particular TF or SG might be meeting. The attendance tracking tool will only allow sign in on Monday at the opening IEEE 802.3 plenary and on Thursday at the closing IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting (not during the Monday afternoon or Thursday morning meetings). A number of WG decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3 meetings (most on Thursday during the closing meeting). Depending on the amount of discussion, the Thursday closing meeting may run beyond our target 18:00 ending time, so please plan your travel accordingly.
Additional subgroup information follows. A preliminary meeting schedule is available at <http://802world.org/apps/session/97/attendee/schedule>, please check this schedule REGULARLY during the meeting week as rooms may change, and please make sure you are subscribe to the reflector(s) of the subgroup you are interested in for any announcements from the Chair in respect to changes.
I look forward to seeing you in San Diego, CA, USA.

IEEE P802.3cb 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Operation over Backplane and Copper Cables Task Force
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The IEEE P802.3cb Task Force is expected to be in comment resolution on comments received on the 2nd Task Force review of IEEE P802.3cb draft D1.2 that will close prior to the meeting. The IEEE P802.3cb draft D1.2 will also be submitted for Working Group preview in preparation for a request to proceed to Working Group ballot.
The Task Force has also developed and approved a draft IEEE P802.3cb PAR modification request and modified CSD responses. The changes are propose because the IEEE P802.3cb project is intended to address a backplane system within a box (enclosure) that contains an array of storage devices interfacing to a backplane, not a stand-alone cable solution. Because the storage devices plug directly into the enclosure’s sub-system, through either a backplane board, or backplane board plus short cables, there may be a short cable used, but never a stand-alone cable. Based on this to avoid any confusion with a stand-alone cable system it has been decided to remove the reference to 'cable' from the PAR title, scope and need.
The draft PAR modification request and modified CSD responses are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at this meeting prior to seeking IEEE 802 EC approval. The PAR modification and CSD responses can be accessed as follows:
Draft PAR modification request: <http://ieee802.org/3/cb/P802_3cb_PAR_modification_030616.pdf>

10Mb/s Extended Reach Single Twisted Pair Ethernet PHY call for interest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CFI page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_0716_1.html>
The following request for agenda time for a 10Mb/s Extended Reach Single Twisted Pair Ethernet PHY call for interest has been received from Ludwig Winkel.
----
This is a call for interest to initiate a Study Group to develop the PAR and CSD for a 10Mb/s Extended Reach Single Twisted Pair Ethernet PHY. We believe there is a market need, driven by a strong desire to consolidate the fragmented fieldbus landscape into a single Ethernet-based solution and satisfy demand for greater bandwidth associated with new applications, such as Industrial IoT. Use case needs are not fulfilled by existing IEEE 802.3 standards
----
The call for interest will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening Plenary on the morning of Monday 25th July. A call for interest consensus building meeting has been scheduled to occur from 18:30 to 19:30 on the evening of Tuesday 26th July. The vote to determine if a Study Group will be formed will take place at the IEEE 802.3 Closing Plenary on the afternoon of Thursday 28th July.
Project Authorization Requests (PARs)
-------------------------------------
At this time there are no PARs from other Working Groups for consideration at the plenary.
IEEE 802.3 Rules
----------------
At present, there are no proposed rules changes.
Tutorials
---------
A new myProject system will be introduced later this year and a tutorial will be provided on it on Monday evening from 18:30 to 19:50. If you use the myProject system please come to this tutorial.
