RE: [STDS-802-3-TIME] Timestamp CFI con call notes
Howard, thanks for taking the notes. My apologies for not making the
call. I had a last minute conflict.
I do have a few extra comments on the presentation for the group to
consider:
- Slide 3: change "Chose any one solution" to read "Choose a solution"
- Slide 4, last bullet partly alludes to IEEE 1588, it might be good to
call that out as Michael notes it in his portion of the presentation
- Slide 5 seems to state that 802.3 doesn't have to do anything, but it
would be nice if they did. Would it be worthwhile adding a point about
creating a consistent point of conformance for improved accuracy and
interoperability?
- Slide 6: can we shorten the URLs to be ieee802.org/3/... and lose
grouper, etc.
- Slide 7: Is one of the goals for the CFI to really develop a
presentation for Thursday's closing session? This should be the task of
the person making the CFI and their hand-picked team. Delete the item
from the agenda.
- Slide 28 is an unnecessary transition slide, delete it.
- Slide 31: we need the exact wording before the CFI otherwise there
will be too much wordsmithing from the floor. How about something like
"... for an Ethernet time synchronization protocol."? This is also
applicable to slides 33 and 34.
- Slide 37, the last three bullet points require the first bullet point
to be met, so should highlight that; in the last bullet, don't need to
worry about stating "week of ??" as there will be 30-days notice
- Slide 38, might be better to just exit with a "Thank You" :-)
I'm looking forward to seeing the presentation in action.
Cheers,
Brad

Howard Frazier of Broadcom facilitated the conference
call and took the following notes:
Howard asked if anyone had not read the IEEE Pre-PAR
Patent Policy slide set located at
http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/prePAR-pat-slideset.pdf
no one on the call indicated that they had not read it.
Comments on slide deck:
Change order of presenters to list Michael before David.
Reword note on slide 9.
Delete cautionary statements on slide 9.
Graphics on slide 13 and 14 are fuzzy. Conversion problem,
will be cleaned up.
Discussion of impact of Energy Efficient Ethernet on accuracy and
resolution requirements.
Delete last major bullet and its sub-bullets on slide 15.
Delete last major bullet and its sub-bullets on slide 16.
Add slide numbers to David's slides (check all slides)
Add sub-bullet to slide 23 that mentions that 802.1 will
be modifying IEEE Std 802.3 Annex 31A to support priority
based flow control.
Steve Carlson should be prepared to discuss the possible meeting
logistics (conflicts, overlap) when he asks how many plan to attend
a timestamp study group interim meeting in May.
Call concluded at ~5:00 pm PST.
Thank you Ethernet Alliance for providing the dial-up bridge
