[RE] FW: [802.1] 802.1 Interim Meeting Residential Ethernet/Residential Bridging 29th/30th September

[Michael Johas Teener <Mikejt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, here is the official notification of the joint meeting ... Note that
the date moved to Sept 29/30 ... This gives time for some of the 802.1
particpants to recover from the joint wireless meeting the week before, and
allows us to use a hotel that is within walking distance of the San Jose
airport (or use the free hotel shuttle).

> As agreed at the .1 closing plenary in July, there will be an interim

> authorized to prepare these PARs, it is envisaged that that would be done in
> the November plenary meeting following .1 and .3 discussion of the plan
> drafted by the interim meeting.
