Subject: [STDS-802-3] July plenary meeting announcement

TO: IEEE 802.3 Voters, Observers and Liaisons

Dear Colleagues:

IEEE 802.3 will meet Monday 13th July through Thursday 16th July in San
Francisco, CA, USA. All IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled for the Hyatt
Regency San Francisco at Embarcadero Centre. The deadline for the early
registration discount is fast approaching, Friday, June 26, 2009, 6PM PDT
(Saturday, June 27, 2009, 1AM UTC). As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session
announcement, registration and current hotel availability information can
be found through the 'Next IEEE 802 Plenary session notice' link on our
home web page [ www.ieee802.org/3 ]. To receive email updates and reminders
for the plenary sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL reflector [
http://listserv.ieee.org ].

The opening IEEE 802.3 working group (WG) meeting will begin at 1:00 PM on
Monday 13th July, and the closing IEEE 802.3 WG meeting will be 1:00 PM on
Thursday 16th July. Task Force (TF) and Study Group (SG) meetings will
follow our typical schedule also found on our web site [
http://www.ieee802.org/3/plenary.html ]. The draft agenda, as well as
liaisons letters received so far, are available in the minutes area
[ http://ieee802.org/3/minutes/jul09/ ] and will be updated as required
prior to the meeting.  The agenda will be approved at the meeting. As
usual, TF, standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will
be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings.

As is now normal practice, we will gather two records of attendance, the
attendance tracking tool (IMAT) and attendance books in each meeting. The
attendance tool will be the only official record of attendance for building
and maintaining Working Group membership. The meeting attendance books will
be used to record the attendance in the minutes for each meeting and it is
important that you review these minutes to make sure your attendance is
recorded correctly as this will be the backup should there be an issue with
the attendance tool.

As usual, attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three
of the four days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how long a
particular TF or SG might be meeting. The attendance system will only allow
sign in on Monday at the opening IEEE 802.3 plenary and on Thursday at the
closing IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting (not during the Thursday morning
meetings). A number of WG decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3
meetings (most on Thursday during the closing meeting). Depending on the
amount of discussion, the Thursday closing meeting may run beyond our
target 5:30 PM ending time.

Additional subgroup information follows. Information for contacting task
force and study group chairs, and archival project information can be found
on our web site: [ www.ieee802.org/3 ].

I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.

David Law

IEEE 802.3 Business (Mon & Thu)
===============================

Working Group Home page: http://www.ieee802.org/3/index.html
In addition to regular Working Group business, there will be Task Force
business based on the status below, as well as a Call for Interest.

on comments received on the 2nd recirculation sponsor ballot of
IEEE P802.3at draft D4.2 that will close prior to the meeting.

With the project near to completing it is expected that the Task Force will
request either conditional, or unconditional, approval to submit the draft
to RevCom. This project however is contingent on the completion of
IEEE P802.3bc so depending on the progress of that project it may be
necessary to submit a PAR extension as a precaution.

10GBASE-CR1 Call for Interest
-----------------------------

There will be a call for interest in forming an IEEE 802.3 study group to
examine 10GBASE-CR1 as follows.

---

This Call for Interest (CFI) proposes the use of IEEE P802.3ba Clause 85
(40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10) to specify 10GBASE-CR1, a low-cost physical
layer copper option for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The CFI is supported by individuals from companies in the
telecommunications industry, who will demonstrate the market need,
technical feasibility, and broad support for forming a Study Group.

---

The 'Call for interest' will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening
Plenary on the afternoon of Monday 13th July. A 10GBASE-CR1 Call for
Interest meeting has then been scheduled to occur from 9PM to 10:30PM that
evening. The vote to determine if a Study Group will be formed will take
place at the IEEE 802.3 Closing Plenary on the afternoon of Thursday 16th
July.
