Dear Colleagues,
IEEE 802.3 will hold its July 2022 plenary session from Monday 11 July 2022 through Thursday 14 July 2022. The plenary session will be held at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada with support for mixed mode (i.e., remote attendance). Please note that the meetings are being planned around an in-person schedule, with remote access provided on a best-effort basis. Please find the IEEE 802.3 Working Group opening and closing plenary meeting call information below, I'll send calendar invitations shortly. Please always check <
https://ieee802.org/3/calendar.html> for the most up to date information.
As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found through the 'Next IEEE 802.3 meeting notice' link on our home web page <

The IEEE 802.3 Working Group (WG) opening plenary meeting will begin at 10h00 ET on Monday 11 July 2022, and the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary meeting will begin at 13h00 ET on Thursday 14 July 2022. Task Force (TF) standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings, the IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting schedule can be accessed at <
https://www.ieee802.org/3/interims/July%20IEEE%20802.3%20Plenary%20Meetings%20(June%206,%202022).pdf>.
We will gather two records of attendance: [1] the attendance tracking tool; and [2] attendance books in each meeting along with the teleconference tool attendance. The attendance tool will be the only official record of attendance for building and maintaining WG membership. The meeting attendance books along with the teleconference tool attendance 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). Several WG decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3 meetings (most during the Thursday 14 July 2022 Closing plenary meetings). Depending on the amount of discussion, IEEE 802.3 WG meetings may run beyond their target ending times, so please plan your time accordingly.
I look forward to seeing you in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
David Law
Chair, IEEE 802.3 Working Group
