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.
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.

be accessed as follows:
Since the submission deadline for the December 2021 meeting occurs prior to the date of the November IEEE 802 EC meeting, I have pre-submitted the draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that any changes to the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary
review process will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator and should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group or the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee not approve the submission, it will be removed from the NesCom agenda.

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.
