[802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 November 2021 plenary session update and agendas



Dear Colleagues,
 
As already announced <https://www.ieee802.org/3/email_dialog/msg01224.html>, IEEE 802.3 will hold its November 2021 plenary session telephonically, from Monday 8 November 2021, through Thursday 18 November 2021. There will be an IEEE 802.3 Opening plenary meeting on Monday 8 November 2021, an IEEE 802.3 Mid-session plenary meeting on Thursday 11 November 2021, and an IEEE 802.3 Closing plenary session on Thursday 18 November 2021. These meetings will be held from 14h00 UTC (06h00 PDT, 07h00 MDT, 08h00 CDT, 09h00 EDT, 14h00 GMT, 17h00 CET, 19h30 IST, 22h00 CST, 23h00 JST) to 16h00 UTC.
 
The draft agendas are available in the minutes area <http://www.ieee802.org/3/minutes/nov21/index.html> and will be updated as required prior to the meeting. The agenda will be approved at the meeting.
 
Subgroup (Task Force, standing committee, and any appropriate ad hoc) meetings will be held from Tuesday 9 November 2021 UTC through Wednesday 17 November 2021 UTC, excluding Friday 12 November 2021 UTC through Sunday 14 November 2021 UTC. Meeting information is provided on the IEEE 802.3 Call and Meeting Calendar <https://ieee802.org/3/calendar.html>, further information regarding subgroup meetings are provided below.
 
Payment of a registration fee is required by anyone that attends any meeting held during this plenary session. This registration fee will help offset the costs incurred by the cancellation of the November physical plenary. The Standard Registration fee of 75.00 USD will now be charged until 23:59 UTC on Friday 5 November 2021. After that date, the Late Registration fee of 125.00 USD will be charged. Please note that Registration Fees are non-transferable and non-refundable. The registration web site can be accessed at <https://cvent.me/4xn8Ql>.
 
As a reminder, attendance credit toward membership requires at least 75% attendance during the plenary session, as well as payment of the registration fee. As a result, you will need to record attendance at a meeting on at least six of the eight meeting days of the November 2021 IEEE 802.3 plenary session, independent of how long a particular subgroup might be meeting. Attendance credit will only be granted for attendance at the IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting on a day with an IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting, and not for other meetings that may occur that day.

IEEE 802.3 Rules
================
 
A proposed set of changes to the IEEE 802.3 operating rules in relation to electronic meetings <https://ieee802.org/3/rules/updates/prop_change_1_0721.pdf> was submitted to the July 2021 plenary meeting. This proposal was then discussed at an IEEE 802.3 rules meeting held on 8 September 2021. It is expected that a vote will occur at the IEEE 802.3 closing plenary to decide if the change should be accepted, rejected or sent out for a Working Group ballot.
 
At present, there are no new proposed rules changes.
