[802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 July 2018 plenary meeting announcement



Dear Colleagues,

IEEE 802.3 will meet Monday 9th July through Thursday 12th July 2018 in San Diego, CA, USA. The IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled to occur in the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA, USA. As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found through the 'Next IEEE 802 meeting 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 IEEE 802.3 Working Group (WG) opening plenary meeting will begin at 10:00 on Monday 9th July, and the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary meeting will begin at 13:00 on Thursday 12th July. Task Force (TF), Study Group (SG), standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings as illustrated in our typical schedule also found on our web site <http://www.ieee802.org/3/plenary.html>. The draft agenda, as well as liaison letters received so far, are available in the minutes area <http://www.ieee802.org/3/minutes/jul18/index.html> and will be updated as required prior to the meeting. The agenda will be approved at the meeting.

We will gather two records of attendance, the attendance tracking tool and attendance books in each meeting. The attendance tool will be the only official record of attendance for building and maintaining WG 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.

Attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three of the four days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how long a particular subgroup might be meeting. The attendance tracking tool 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 Monday afternoon or 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 18h00 ending time, so please plan your travel accordingly. Additional subgroup information follows.

I look forward to seeing you in San Diego, CA, USA.

Ethernet Access PMDs for Central Office Consolidation (Super-PON) call for interest 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CFI page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_0718_1.html>

The following request for agenda time for an Ethernet Access PMDs for Central Office Consolidation (Super-PON) call for interest has been received from Mr Claudio DeSanti.

----

The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group continues to develop standards to scale the speed of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) and point-to-point access networks. There is a growing need to further scale the coverage and reach of PONs to cover more customers at a greater distance from a Central Office. There is also an opportunity to define a common optical infrastructure to support both point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and point-to-point (P2P) operations. This means standardizing new Ethernet Access PMDs for P2MP and P2P operations over a common long reach optical infrastructure through cost effective wavelength division multiplexing techniques. The Study Group intends to leverage existing PCS and PMA definitions and may consider defining a 2.5Gb/s EPON PCS and PMA for upstream operations. This Call for Interest is to assess the support for the formation of a Study Group to explore the development of these new Ethernet Access PMDs.

----

The call for interest will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening Plenary on the morning of Monday 9th July. A call for interest consensus building meeting has been scheduled to occur from 18:30 to 19:30 on the evening of Tuesday 10th July. 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 12th July.


Bidirectional 50Gb/s optical access PHYs call for interest 
-----------------------------------

CFI page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_0718_2.html>

The following request for agenda time for a Bidirectional 50Gb/s optical access PHYs call for interest has been received from Mr Xinyuan Wang.

----

In the past, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group has standardized bidirectional optical PHYs running at 100Mb/s and 1Gb/s over one single mode fiber, that are intended for optical access applications. Presently, the bidirectional 10 Gb/s and 25 Gb/s Optical Access PHYs Study Group has started. In the near future, due to the high bandwidth requirement of 5G mobile networks, bidirectional links running at 50 Gb/s will be needed. This Call for Interest is to assess the support for the formation of a study group to explore the development of 50Gb/s bidirectional optical access PHYs.

----

The call for interest will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening Plenary on the morning of Monday 9th July. A call for interest consensus building meeting has been scheduled to occur from 19:30 to 20:30 on the evening of Tuesday 10th July. 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 12th July.
