Re: [802.3_B400G] Proposal for Liaison Responses to be considered at Sept 28 meeting

Hi John,

 

As this is the first liaison exchanged with IOWN, it might be useful to provide them with a bit more information regarding the next steps in the 802.3 process.  The text as written could be misinterpreted if the IOWN folks don’t fully appreciate the difference between the 802.3 Working Group, an 802.3 Study Group, and an 802.3 Task Force. 

 

I would suggest changing the second and third to last paragraphs as shown, so that it’s more clear that the SG concluding is more of an administrative formality, and that there is still considerable work to be done:

 

Please note that the objectives and accompanying project documentation are still pending approval by the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group.  It is expected that this approval will occur before the end of the year. Once that approval is given, a Task Force will be created to begin the work of determining the modifications to be made 802.3 to address the stated objectives.  The first meeting of this Task Force is anticipated to occur in January 2022.

 

It is anticipated that the work of the IEEE 802.3 Beyond 400 Gb/s Ethernet Study Group will complete by the end of the year with the first task force meeting likely to happen in January 2022.

 

Regards,

Tom

Subject: [802.3_B400G] Proposal for Liaison Responses to be considered at Sept 28 meeting

 

All

In preparation for next week’s Interim meeting I have reviewed the liaisons that have been assigned to the Study Group to consider.  (Note that the September session page has been updated to include these liaisons - https://www.ieee802.org/3/B400G/public/21_09/index.html).

 

I propose the following –

  1. Liaison from IOWN – see proposed response - https://www.ieee802.org/3/B400G/public/21_09/dambrosia_b400g_01_210928.pdf
  2. Liaison from ITU-T SG15 - - no response appears necessary
  3. Liaison from OIF – no immediate response appears necessary at this time, but a response from future task force, as appropriate, should be considered.

 

Anyone disagreeing with these recommendations are invited to comment on the reflector.  

Anyone wishing to comment on the proposed liaison to IOWN, please direct to the reflector.

Please note that if responses to ITU-T SG15 or OIF are deemed necessary, we need to generate and approve them at next week’s meeting in order to bring in front of the WG.

 

Regards,

 

John D’Ambrosia

Chair, IEEE 802.3 Beyond 400 Gb/s Ethernet Study Group
