All,
Paul as
authorized me to conduct a 10-Day e-mail ballot on the following motion
This will
be a 10-day ballot, closing on 02 July 2012 AOE;
as per
current P&P I will terminate the ballot early if it is clear that
the outcome has been decided.
Thank you
for your support
John
Motion:
The
IEEE 802 LMSC endorses John D'Ambrosia to work with the Industry
Connections program to develop appropriate approval documentation for a
12 month program for “Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus” with the
expectation that oversight would be delegated to IEEE 802.3 Chair.
Moved:
D’Ambrosia Second: Gilb
________________________________________________________
Background:
In
November 2010, the IEEE 802 EC passed the following motion:
The
IEEE 802 LMSC supports development of Industry Connections activities
and charters John D'Ambrosia to work with the Industry Connections
program to develop appropriate approval documentation for an 18 month
pilot program for "Ethernet Wireline Bandwidth Needs" with the
expectation that oversight would be delegated to IEEE Chair 802.3.
The IEEE
802.3 Ethernet Bandwidth Assessment Ad Hoc has now completed seeking
and considering all comments on its draft report and, as there no
further substantive comments been received on the report, will be
seeking Working Group approval of the report at the IEEE 802.3 closing
plenary of Thursday afternoon of the July Plenary. Additionally, a
tutorial, sponsored by David Law, presenting the finding of the ad hoc
is scheduled for the second tutorial slot on Monday night of the
plenary week.
In
parallel I have been working with a group of approximately 60
individuals on a new “Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus” Industry
Connections (HE IC) activity. The proposed scope of the activity
would be to focus on building consensus related to the next speed of
Ethernet for wireline applications, which will be used for the
evaluation and possible development of a Call-For-Interest for the next
Higher Speed Study Group. At the IEEE 802.3 May Interim I spoke at most
of the Task Force and Study Group meetings (all but MIBs and
Maintenance) regarding the future after the IEEE 802.3 BWA. In
addition, I had already requested time at the July opening agenda to
give the 802.3 WG an update,
An ICAID
proposal was submitted to the Industry Connections Committee (ICCom)
for conditional approval at its June 8th meeting. At that
time I anticipated bringing a motion to the 802 EC for endorsement at
the July plenary. However, ICCom postponed recommending its approval
until it has been endorsed by the 802 (the sponsoring group), and it
was indicated that ICCom will schedule a teleconference the Monday
after the plenary (assuming 802 endorsement), which could then be
submitted for a 10 day standards board email ballot.
In
parallel, I have been working on a press release related to the
completion of the assessment. In discussions with the IEEE PR people,
it was asked about follow-up activities related to the BWA. The new
HSE IC proposal was discussed, and a single press release covering the
completion of the BWA and the formation of the new group (assuming
necessary approvals) was recommended. Assuming the necessary approvals
of the new IC activity and the approval of the press release by the 802
EC in July, the PR was scheduled for release on July 30. Assuming the
necessary approvals the first meeting of the new IC activity would be
planned for the IEEE 802.3 September Interim meeting to be held in
Geneva, Switzerland. This would also correspond to a joint workshop
between the IEEE and ITU-T. This press release would help to raise
awareness of this new Industry Connections Activity, and its first
meeting at the September Interim, which would help to drive industry
participation from all stakeholders.
Delaying
the necessary approvals of the IC activity pushes back the release of
the press release into August. Due to August vacations, the IEEE PR
people suggested that the press release be held off until late August /
early September. This would minimize the effectiveness of the press
release, and subsequently the industry participation.
