[802.3_400G] Need for a IEEE 802.3bs PAR modification request



Dear Colleagues,

It has come to my attention that the IEEE P802.3bs PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board did not contain the correct version of the response to item 5.5 'Need for the project' and 5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard'.

Specifically, the IEEE 802.3 400Gb/s Ethernet Study Group approved refinements to the text in response to items 5.5 and 5.6 at their January interim meeting that was contained in the draft PAR that was submitted and approved by the IEEE 802.3 Working Group and the IEEE 802 Executive Committee in March. This draft PAR can be accessed at <http://www.ieee802.org/3/400GSG/project_docs/PAR_400_14_0121.pdf>. These refinements are however not in the PAR subsequently approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board that can be accessed at <http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/P802d3bs_PAR.pdf>.

After consultation with the IEEE 802 Sponsor Chair I will submit a PAR modification request to the June IEEE-SA Standards Board meeting to submit the IEEE 802 Executive Committee approved text in response to items 5.5 and 5.6. This PAR modification request can be accessed at <http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/P802_3bs_PAR_modification_0414.pdf>. Since myProject does not provide underscore and strikeout text for changes to items 5.5 and 5.6, I've attached a compare document for your reference.

Best regards,
  David
