Re: [802.3_SPMD] Cancellation Notice: 2020 March IEEE 802 Plenary - Atlanta



In the wake of this news, I think it becomes more important for us to make use of the AdHoc meetings to build consensus and move this project forwards.

 

As a reminder, we have an AdHoc next week, and I have just sent out the “March to May” meeting series beginning March 25th.

 

Regards?

Peter

All, regrettably IEEE 802 has had to cancel the upcoming Plenary meeting due to corporate and government travel restrictions related to COVID-19. Please see the notice below.

 

Some things to keep in mind:

 

  1. Your meeting registration will be cancelled for you and a full refund will be issued.
  2. You will need to cancel your hotel reservation BUT NOT UNTIL FURTHER GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED BY IEEE. The cancellation details are still being worked out and a website is being constructed. Please pay particular attention to emails from me over the next few days as the hotel cancellation could be time critical.
  3. We will attempt to make progress by holding telephonic interim meetings. More info to follow.
  4. We will be forced to continue to work as a Study Group likely until September. This means that we can consensus build but we will not be able to make formal decisions.

 

Thank you all for the understanding and the work we will have to put in to minimize the slip due to this cancellation.

 

Regards,

Colleagues,

 

Please see this important message regarding the CANCELLATION of the March 802 plenary. The IEEE 802.3 officers are working on plans to allow some level of teleconferencing to keep our work going.  We’ll share those details as soon as possible.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

IEEE 802 and its family of 802 networking standards have paved the way for global connectivity. For 40 years the face-to-face engagement of the 802 community at our plenary meetings has enabled innovation for the future.

 

With due regard to the health and safety of our volunteers in the 802 community and in light of the growing global concern regarding COVID-19, on 5 March the LMSC made the difficult decision to cancel the IEEE 802 Plenary Session previously scheduled for 15-20 March in Atlanta. This decision recognizes that government and company travel restrictions now make it impossible for the LMSC to hold a successful face-to-face plenary with all constituents of the 802 community fairly represented.

 

Please expect information from staff of Face To Face Events regarding arrangement for a full refund of your registration fees. 

 

You are responsible to cancel your hotel reservations. Details for cancelling your Hilton Atlanta reservation will be provided directly via email on Monday the 9th; please wait until you receive those instructions before you cancel.

 

We recognize that the timing of this decision has significantly inconvenienced many of you. However, this decision was made out of deep concern for the health and well-being of our volunteers, staff, vendors, and the Atlanta community. 

 

Regards,

 

IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee
