FW: [802SEC] Link Security Monday morning session announcement and update

["Bob O'Hara" <bob@airespace.com>]

Title: Message

Dear SEC members,

 

The Link Security SG discussed the placement of the project in the first SG meeting on January in Vancouver. The decision was to place the project in P802.1. A brief summary of the meeting, including straw poll numbers, is included at the end of this message.

 

Based on this decision, we (802.1 and LinkSec) are already planning the March meeting together. We are scheduling a Link Security session on Monday morning (8:30-10:30am) to encourage participation from all WGs by avoiding overlaps with regular WG meetings.

 

Please forward the announcement and information below to your respective WG members.

 

Thank you,

 

Dolors

Monday Morning Link Security Session Announcement

 

The Link Security ECSG is scheduled to meet on Monday Morning (8:30-10:30am) March 10t. This session does not conflict with most WG regular meeting schedule. It is intended to facilitate participation from all WG members since the work of this group relates to several WGs efforts.

 

The agenda for this meeting is to educate each other on the major areas related to this project (e.g EPON, bridging, security), converge on scope, scenarios and objectives and make progress on the work plan including architecture model, project partitioning and PAR definition. See work plan at http://www.ieee802.org/linksec/meetings/MeetingsMaterial/Jan03/LinkSecWorkPlan_0103.pdf.

Summary of Link Security Jan 2003 interim meeting in Vancouver:

The two-days meeting covered the presentations including discussion on requirements, architecture model, and PAR and 5 criteria, and lengthy discussion on scenarios, placement of the project and the need of traffic analysis.

1. The SG will recommend to the executive committee in the next IEEE802 plenary meeting to place the project in 802.1
