[802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 November 2024 plenary meeting announcement - Registration Fee Required

["Law, David" <0000363ca596b6f2-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,

IEEE 802.3 will hold its November 2024 plenary session from Monday 11 November 2024 through Thursday 14 November 2024. The plenary session will be held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, Vancouver, BC, Canada with support for mixed-mode attendance (i.e., remote attendance). Please note that the meetings are being planned around an in-person schedule, with remote access provided on a best-effort basis.

The IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening plenary meeting will begin at 10h15 PST on Monday 11 November 2024, and the IEEE 802.3 Working Group closing plenary meeting will begin at 13h15 PST on Thursday 14 November 2024. I will provide the IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening and closing plenary meeting call information and calendar invitations shortly. IEEE 802.3 Subgroup meetings will be scheduled between the IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening and closing plenary meetings. Please always check <https://ieee802.org/3/calendar.html> for the most up-to-date information.

As always, the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee session announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found through the 'Next IEEE 802.3 meeting notice' link <https://www.ieee802.org/3/interims/index.html>. To receive email updates and reminders for the plenary sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL reflector <https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=stds-802-ALL&A=1>. Payment of a registration fee is REQUIRED BY ANYONE THAT ATTENDS ANY MEETING, IN PERSON OR REMOTE, held during this plenary session. The registration website can be accessed directly at <https://cvent.me/dkO9BB>.

The draft agendas, as well as liaison letters received so far, are available in the minutes area <https://ieee802.org/3/minutes/nov24/index.html%20> and will be updated as required before the meeting. The agenda will be approved at the meeting. Several Working Group decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3 meetings (most during the Thursday Closing plenary meetings). Depending on the amount of discussion, IEEE 802.3 WG meetings may run beyond their target ending times, so please plan your time accordingly.

Subclause 4.1 'Attendance at Meetings' of the IEEE 802 LMSC Working Group Policies and Procedures says that 'A participant shall attend at least 75% of a meeting slot's duration ...' and satisfy any registration requirements to gain 'Credited Attendance' at that meeting slot. It then goes on to say that 'A participant that has Credited Attendance in at least 75% of the meeting slots in a Session has Session Attendance Credit for that Session.'. A participant requires Session Attendance Credit at two of the last four plenary sessions, with the ability to substitute one credited interim session for one plenary session, to gain or retain IEEE 802.3 voting membership.

As has always been our practice, there will only be an opportunity to gain Credited Attendance on Monday during the IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening plenary, one slot, and on Thursday at the IEEE 802.3 Working Group closing plenary meeting, two slots. This, combined with four slots on Tuesday and Wednesday, will result in a total of eleven meeting slots where there is an opportunity to gain Credited Attendance during the plenary session. A participant will, therefore, have to gain Credited Attendance at a minimum of nine meeting slots (at least 75% of eleven) to obtain Session Attendance Credit towards gaining or retaining IEEE 802.3 voting membership.

At a high level, this will require attendance at a minimum of any three consecutive days out of the four-day July 2024 Plenary Session, but the requirement to gain Credited Attendance at a minimum of 75% of the meeting slots of the Plenary Session can be achieved in any way a participant chose. This, for example, could be achieved by attending the IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening plenary slot on Monday morning, all four meeting slots on Tuesday, two meeting slots on Wednesday, and then the two IEEE 802.3 Working Group closing plenary slots on Thursday afternoon.

Any request to retrospectively add attendance in IMAT shall be made to the IEEE 802.3 Recording Secretary within four hours of the end of the respective IMAT meeting slot and accompanied by confirmation of attendance from the respective meeting Chair or other officer. If you attend a meeting but do not sign in to an IMAT meeting slot for some reason (e.g., you do not attend at least 75% of a meeting slot's duration), it is your responsibility to ensure your attendance is recorded in the respective meeting minutes by sending an email to the respective meeting chair.

I look forward to seeing you in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

MII Optimized for an Exposed Interconnect
-----------------------------------------

CFI page: <https://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_1124_1.html>

The following request for agenda time for an MII Optimized for an Exposed Interconnect call for interest has been received from Jason Potterf.

----

This is a call for interest to initiate a Study Group to develop a PAR and CSD for an Ethernet Media Independent Interface (MII) optimized for an exposed interconnect, e.g., chip-to-chip. The growing body of IEEE 802.3 Copper PHY standards that operate at lower speeds has intensified the demand for a modern, optimized MII. Application of PHYs such as 10BASE-T1L, 10BASE-T1S, proposed 100BASE-T1L, proposed 10BASE-T1M, and potentially future PHYs would see benefit in both single and multi-port implementations. Such an effort may afford reduced pin count and implementation complexity while enabling data for multiple ports on a single interface and support for features such as PHY-Level Collision Avoidance (PLCA). Most importantly, it could provide a modern alternative interface for PHYs that would otherwise use various industry specifications not currently in IEEE Std 802.3.

----

The call for interest will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening Plenary on the morning of Monday 11 November 2024. A call for interest consensus building meeting has been scheduled to occur from 19h00 PST to 20h30 PST on the evening of Tuesday 12 November 2024. 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 14 November 2024.
