Re: [8023-POEP] DS vs. SS debate



Yair:

 

Whether the meeting ended before the time you and Dave had anticipated, it did not end prematurely.  The meeting ended when there was no more work on the agenda of the Task Force.  While we generally try to accommodate everyone, failing to request time is not my or the committee’s problem.  The take away from this is that if you want to present, create a presentation and submitted a week before our meeting like you are supposed to so that it can be properly placed on the agenda and the task force will honor the agenda.

 

Cheers

 

Mike

Steve and all,

 

Dave Dwelley and I started to compose some text regarding the architecture and we planed to present it on last meeting however the meeting has ended prematurly..and we agreed to continue working on it over emails.

 

I hope during the next week or so we will have something that worse to discuss over the reflector.

 

Regarding SS vs DS; I still believe that this question is important but secondary in importance compared to architecture.

Once we agreed on architecture it will be clear what is the best next move (I hope..). (may be if each 2P is independently specified then you will have SS for each 2P which is effectively DS on all 4P etc.)

 

Meantime until the next meeting, we can summarize all inputs regarding SS vs DS for reference (which are the presentations shown last meeting + adding all new inputs received during the meeting) and start discuss it after we will be on agreement on the architecture.

Guys,

 

This email is intended for people who are interested in the DS vs. SS debate, or the classification adhoc.  If you’re not one of those people then please disregard this.

 

Unfortunately, no decision was reached in the Austin meeting, so the DS vs. SS debate must go on.

 

This issue is far too important to just let it sit until the plenary.  We must have it all figured out before the plenary, otherwise we probably won’t reach a decision then either.  And, as we all know, the 802.3at Task Force is already way behind schedule.

 

My question is, how should we proceed from here?  So far, the discussion forum has been the classification adhoc, but this is really outside their scope.  Should the Task Force start a new adhoc, or morph the classification adhoc into a system architecture adhoc?

 

I think we need to make a decision quickly, and continue the debate aggressively.

 

Steve
