If you would like to present, please e-mail me this week.
However, in the event we do not have presentations, we'll still make progress at next week's meeting.
Our goals for San Antonio will be to:
1) Review approaches for modifying Clauses 3 and 4 and Annex 4A
2) Review possible timeline
3) Prepare motions for 802.3 closing plenary (Thu)
- PAR
- 5 Criteria
- Objectives
4) Get approval from 802.3 to forward PAR and 5 criteria to 802 EC (for 11/19 meeting)
5) Get approval from 802.3 to forward PAR and 5 criteria to NESCOM (for December meeting)
The timeline discussion will include topics such as:
- Timeframe for issuing first Task Force draft (D1.0)
- Decision on maximum frame size (i.e., January or March)
