Re: [802SEC] +++ 10-day EC Email Ballot +++ IEEE P802.3bz 2.5/5GBASE-T project update press release

Perhaps the best would be for the WG to issue the press release on its own behalf for items with are not Sponsor level events.

As I recall, the WG is allowed to do this as long as it includes a disclaimer that it is not 802's view.

Colleagues-
I was the one who spoke to David against this release.  Although my stance has softened after discussion, I still think we ought to have some criteria for 802 press releases and that we should not do one whenever a project group leader thinks he has done something significant.  In that vein, this sets a bad precedent.  I believe that 802 Press Releases should be limited to 802 level events like PAR approval, approval and/or publication of the standard (and maybe even going to Sponsor Ballot).  I would prefer to leave the other stuff to our alliance colleagues.
Sincerely,   Geoff Thompson

  All,

I would like to now proceed to the EC electronic ballot on the attached updated draft IEEE P802.3bz 2.5/5GBASE-T project update press release I circulated on Friday 22nd May for comment. I've also attached a diff to the draft I circulated then, my thanks to those that provided comments. The most significant change is the addition of a quote from Adrian Stephens.

One of the comments I received during the draft review was that it is unusual for us to issue a press release at a step other that a process step (PAR approval, Working Group ballot, etc.). In this particular case I believe it is justified based on the substantial interest in this activity from industry, and the activity making significant progress, as well as one of the primary application of this IEEE 802.3 project the support of IEEE 802.11, providing the opportunity to demonstrate cross IEEE 802 collaboration.

Paul has delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot on the following motion to me. To ensure this release is issued as soon as practical I'm announcing the possibility of an 'early close' to this ballot (see below).

Best regards,
   David


Motion
======

The EC supports the IEEE P802.3bz 2.5/5GBASE-T project update press release, to be released with editorial changes as deemed necessary.

Move:  David Law
Second: John D'Ambrosia
