- Reviewed IEEE patent Policy
- Reviewed latchman_01_1211
        - Agree
on fundamentals
         
      - use 4" host to compare Diminico and
Nicholl (good agreement in presentations)
         
      - report losses at Nyquist 
         
              - use
base 100GbE rate therefore report at 12.89GHz
         
              - iterate
based on study group / task force input based on FEC resolution
         
      - For the host, focus on host channel and
connector loss

        - Host:
 Diminico and Nicholl use on 4", Megtron 4, and refer to same
OIF presentation (OIF2010.132.01)
         
      - Difference could be in allocation for vias
etc.
         
      - Action for Chris D to resolve difference

        - Connector:
Diminico includes paddle card termination
         
      - Action for Chris D to develop updated application
diagram which includes details on what is included for loss budget

- Overall feeling is the two proposals are
closer than they appear on the surface
- Next meeting will target having updated
proposals using common fundamentals

- Team is open to having additional material
presented on host length requirement

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday
Dec 15th at 1:00pm PT.

Best Regards,
Ryan
