Re: [RE] Suggested TF Designation
I have to clarify this. I said it would require a motion during either
the Monday or Thursday IEEE 802.3 meeting. (As is required by our
rules, the motion being made by a member of 802.3.) I also indicated it
would require a 75% vote of IEEE 802.3 to change the "at" suffix to an
out of sequence project identification.
Many consider the sequential assignment of project suffixes an important
item for tracking the evolution of IEEE Std 802.3. It would be a
modification to the PAR presubmitted to the Executive Committee. As
with any modification to the draft PAR, I would classify such a motion
as technical. So, I informed John in advance that it would require a
75% vote, just as approval of the PAR by 802.3 will require a 75% vote.)
I also suggested a Sunday, March 13 RESG motion in support would be an
appropriate alternate way to introduce the topic to 802.3. (Mr. Carlson
would there determine if he considered such a motion procedural or
technical within RESG, thereby setting the approval threshold within
RESG.)

Subject: [RE] Suggested TF Designation
I would like to bring up an interesting topic. If a new TF is created
for RE, then it would by default take the designation 802.3at. I asked
Bob Grow if we could request to have the designation 802.3av for
obvious reasons. He said that in the next interim meeting a member
would need to make a motion for this, and the SG would need to vote at
least 75% in favor in order for it to be considered.
I'd like to know if others in the RESG are in favor of using 802.3av.
And if so, should we then bring this up in the next interim meeting for
a vote. Comments welcome.
