[802.3_EMS] Announcement - IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Metadata Services Study Group Jan 2026 Interim (Registration Fee Required)

Dear IEEE 802.3 EMS Study Group Participants,

The Ethernet Metadata Services (EMS) Study Group will meet face-to-face on Tuesday (20 Jan) during the IEEE 802.3 January 2026 interim session (Jan 19-22) in Austin, TX with remote access (provided on best effort basis).  Details regarding meeting and registration may be found at https://pbmmeetings.com/.  Please note that registration and payment of the registration fee is required for all individuals who participate (in-person or virtual participation).  

Note that we are still meeting as a Study Group due to scheduling of the task force approval in the relevant committees.  We should officially be a task force (IEEE P802.3dt) in late January. The only implication of still being a study group is that the group can’t make formal decisions.  Instead, the focus will be presentations towards baselines and consensus building.  .

The draft agenda for this meeting will be:  

For the EMS Study Group Session, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at ofelt@xxxxxxxx  and cc Gary Nicholl at gnicholl@xxxxxxxxx  and must be made by Thursday 8 Jan 2026.

The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at ofelt@xxxxxxxx  and cc Gary Nicholl at gnicholl@xxxxxxxxx  by Monday 12 Jan 2026.  Please make sure that page numbers are included in your presentation.
