Ben,
I didn't see
mention of the CM SG in Bob's email below. Do you have an idea when the CM
SG will be meeting? Sorry if you've already said so.
Thanks.

802.3 Meeting Announcement
Colleagues:
IEEE 802.3 will
meet July 12-15 at the Embassy Suites Downtown, Portland, Oregon, USA.
The meeting announcement can be found on a link on our home web page
(www.ieee802.org/3) and an update on
the meeting will be sent separately to this reflector. At this point,
it is expected that all of our meetings (with the possible exception of the
closing 802.3 plenary meeting) will be held at the Embassy Suites (this is a
logistically challenging meeting for our meeting planners based on the
available space).
The opening 802.3
meeting will begin at 1:00 pm on July 12 , and the closing 802.3 meeting
will be 1:00 pm July 15. These meetings will follow our typical agenda. (For
typical ordering of topics, please see the minutes from previous meetings. A
detailed agenda will be approved at the meeting.) As usual, task force,
study group, standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be
scheduled between the opening and closing 802.3 meetings. It will be a busy
week, and I look forward to seeing you in Portland . Additional meeting
information follows and contact information for task force and study group
chairs can be found on our web site www.ieee802.org/3
.

TASK FORCE / STUDY GROUP
MEETINGS
802.3ah
Task Force - Ethernet in the First Mile (tentatively, no
meeting)
The P802.3ah
project has been submitted to RevCom for ratification at the June Standards
Board meetings. If that ratification takes place, the only item of business
for P802.3ah is to give its final report. If for some reason the
project is not approved, the Task Force will meet to address the relevant
issues. An update on the results from the Standards Board meetings and
consequent clarification of July P802.3ah activity will be sent to the
reflector after the Standards Board meetings.
802.3an
Task Force - 10GBASE-T (Tue-Thu)
The
10GBASE-T Task Force is now in the process of creating its first
draft. As part of that, the meeting will include technical proposals
and work toward selection of the proposals to be included in that first
draft. Those wishing to present during the task force meetings should
contact the Chair, Mr. Brad Booth.
802.3ap
Task Force - Backplane Ethernet (Tues-Thu)
The task force was
organized at the May meeting, and in July will be hearing and evaluating
technical proposals for possible inclusion in a first draft to be created
later this year. Those wishing to present during the task force
meetings should contact the Chair, Mr. Adam Healey.
802.3aq
Task Force - 10GBASE-LRM (Mon-Thu)
The 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Over FDDI Grade Multimode Fiber Study Group became the P802.3aq
Task Force at its May meeting. The task force will be hearing and
evaluating proposals for inclusion in a first draft to be created later this
year. Those wishing to present during the task force meetings should
contact the Chair, Mr. David Cunningham.
802.3REVam
Task Force - Maintenance 8 and revision of IEEE Std 802.3-2002
(Wed)
As required by IEEE-SA process,
we are engaged in a revision project for IEEE Std 802.3. A
consolidated draft has been created merging IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002, IEEE Std
802.3af-2003, IEEE Standard 802.3aj-2003 and IEEE Standard 802.3ak-2004 into
IEEE Std 802.3-2002. This draft is currently being reviewed by the
editorial teams for the listed amendments to validate that the merge is
correct. It is also planned that P802.3ah will be merged into the
consolidated edition after it is approved as an IEEE Standard. The
revision project will also incorporate competed errata and maintenance
change requests that are ready for ballot. It is expected that the
task force will be releasing
the consolidated edition to the Working Group prior to the July meeting in
anticipation of requesting a Working Group Ballot at the closing
plenary.
Rules,
Maintenance, Interpretations (tentative, Wed)
The standing
committees on Rules, Maintenance and Interpretations will meet as required
by requests for any rules changes, maintenance requests or interpretation of
the standard. No rules changes are proposed as of the date of this
announcement, but there are additional maintenance requests and
interpretations requests for consideration in July.
Frame
Extensions CFI/Ad Hoc (tentative, Tue)
The proposed
802.3ar project will be proposed to define extensions to IEEE Std 802.3 in
support of protocols that require header (and possibly trailer) fields
required by protocols like P802.1ad Provider Bridging and P802.1AE
MACSec. A combined Call For Interest and Ad Hoc working meeting will
be held to discuss the need for this project, its scope and possible
approach to implementing the capabilities requested of us by 802.1 that were
the subject of a joint technical plenary during the March plenary
meetings.

CALL FOR
INTEREST
Residential
Ethernet (tentative Tuesday evening)
Richard Brand ,
Nortel Networks (rbrand@nortelnetworks.com)
Residential
Ethernet provides time-sensitive delivery between non-disruptive
plug-and-play synchronized end points over reliable point-to-point
full-duplex cable media.
Time-sensitive
audio-video applications for in home use will need some type of bandwidth
allocations with predictable latency and low-jitter delivery to guarantee a
constant level of quality of experience (QoE). Ensuring
real-time services through routers, data security, wireless media, and
developing new PMDs are beyond the
scope of this
project.
