contribute in a small way to the Task Force.
Congratulations to everyone in the 802.3av
TF!

Standards Board has approved the IEEE 802.3av standard. This is a culmination of
3.5 years of hard work by a group of experts who, through their dedication have
advanced the state of the art of the communications technology, while enduring
tight deadlines, meetings through weekends, and frequent travel to remote
locations. I remember how we started in 2006 as a very diverse group with
each member having very different assumptions about what our work should be or
how we should proceed. But working through so many odd hours together in the end
made us a very tight team, very focused and collaborative. My special thanks to our editors: Duane Remein and Marek
Hajduczenia. Throughout all these years, I was not able to find their breaking
point, even though I tried very hard. I now believe they are unbreakable and I
am very happy that they were such a key part of our team. And whenever the chair of this group has led the task force
into a procedurally-complicated situation (more times than I care to remember
J), we could always count on sound
advice by past and current 802.3 chairs: Bob Grow and David Low, and the vice
chair Wael Diab. For that I thank them very much. IEEE 802.3 executive secretary
Steve Carlson was always there for us to make sure that logistically we are all
set and that the task force could be as productive as possible. Steve - without
your efforts we would not be able to keep our schedule. It is truly my privilege to get to know all of you and
to be part of this team and this project. Sincerely, Glen Kramer (Past) Chair of IEEE 802.3av “10G-EPON” Task
Force glen.kramer@xxxxxxxx |
