[802.3BA] IEEE 802 Plenary / IEEE P802.3ba Interim - Task Force Meeting Details and Call for Presentations



Dear Task Force Members,

The IEEE P802.3ba Task Force will be meeting during the November IEEE 802 Plenary Meeting (Nov 9 – 14, 2008).  Meeting details may be found at http://ieee802.facetoface-events.com/sessions/52/index.php.  You are strongly encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible.  Web pre-registration closes at 6pm PT, Friday, October 24, 2008 (UTC Time: Saturday, October 25, 2008, 1am).  The Task Force will be meeting all day Tuesday, all day Wednesday, and Thursday morning until noon (Nov 11 - 13).   In addition to the Task Force meeting during the Plenary, the Task Force will be holding an adjacent and co-located interim meeting on Sunday November 9 (1pm to 9pm) and Monday November 10 (8am to 10am).

 

The agenda for the meeting will be resolution of comments received against D1.0 and work towards a technically complete draft for working group ballot.  Presentations for the interim and plenary meeting should focus on comments submitted against D1.0.  (Please note if you are intending to give a presentation in support of a suggested remedy (or provide any supplemental material) for any comments, please indicate this in the “Suggested Remedy” field in your comment submission). 

 

Anyone wishing to present, please provide the following information (per Procedure for Presenters web page: http://www.ieee802.org/3/hssg/public/presentproc.html:      

 

Name of presenter

Title of presentation

Length of time requested (this should include time for questions and answers)

Brief description of topic

Presentations should be kept to 20 minutes in duration, excluding time for questions and answers.  Requests for presentation time greater than 20 minutes will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the requestor should contact the chair prior to making the request to justify the additional time. 

 

Requests for presentation time must be made two Fridays preceding the meeting.  For the Nov Plenary / interim meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx, and must be made by Oct 31, 2008.  The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx  by Tuesday of the week preceding the meeting.  For the Nov Plenary / interim, presentations must be submitted by Nov 4, 2008.  As a reminder, please make sure that all requests for presentations or submissions of presentation material have no restrictive notices at the bottom of the email.  All such emails will be refused and requests / presentations will not be acknowledged. 

 

 All individuals submitting presentations should review the Procedures for Presenters Page (http://www.ieee802.org/3/hssg/public/presentproc.html).   I would greatly appreciate presenters reviewing their own presentations to verify that they have followed the cited Presentation Style Guidelines.

 

Also, to support the web site search tool used by the IEEE P802.3 web site the 'Document Information' fields of the PDF file must be completed as follows:

 

Title: Title of presentation

Author: Name(s) of author(s)

Subject: IEEE P802.3ba Task Force

 

As a reminder individuals should not forward presentations to our webmaster, Frank, asking him to post presentations.  All should note that files are not posted until they have been reviewed, so please follow directions noted above.

 

Additional meeting information –

 

The 802.3 Opening Plenary starts Monday at 1pm, and is typically completed by 6pm.

The 802.3 Closing Plenary starts Thursday at 1pm.

 

Individuals eligible to become 802.3 voters are reminded that they must be at one of these two meetings to request voting rights.

 

As a reminder to the group, we are a contribution driven organization, and we do have a fairly large project underway.  It should not be assumed by anyone that work will just get done without contributions to drive it.  Areas not moving forward will be brought to the attention of the Task Force for consideration on how to address; as such issues can not be allowed to threaten the overall project schedule. 

 

I look forward to seeing everyone in Dallas!

 

 Best Regards,

 

John D’Ambrosia
