Subject: [8023-POEP] Layer 2 (DLL) Adhoc Meeting Thursday Afternoon October 18th

Colleagues,

At the end of our last meeting, the adhoc group asked that we meet again this coming Thursday October 18th after the 802.3at Task Force completes its business for the day.

I have checked with our Chair regarding the time/conflict and our host regarding the use of the fascilities and both are ok with the logistics.

I intend to run the adhoc from 6pm Eastern time for 90mins. The goal of the meeting will be to review any proposed text based on the progress from last week, review other open issues/comments and look at other L2 areas if time permits.

Since this is an adhoc I will also provide a dialin number for remote participants. I will send out a proposed agenda with a list of topics and the dialin information in a followup email.

I have also asked our Chair for 15mins on the agenda to report the progress of the adhoc to the Task Force for those participants that were not able to attend.

Regards
Wael

Colleagues,

Regarding our proposed agenda this morning:
- Our Editor has posted the file of resolved comments from the Seoul meeting. Thanx Matt! By my count the following comments are related to (L2) DLL and we can use this file to review the resolutions from the meeting: 197, 245, 246, 257, 259, 260, 261 and 264.
http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/comments/D0.9/P802d3at_D0p9_postmtg_resolved.pdf <http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/comments/D0.9/P802d3at_D0p9_postmtg_resolved.pdf>

- I have only received one contribution so far and that is from Mr. Law. It was emailed out to the reflector.

- Time-permitting we will go through all the unresolved comments on D0.9 relating to DLL (L2), which can be found at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/comments/D0.9/P802d3at_D0p9_postmtg_bucket_DLL.pdf

Talk to you in a few minutes,
