Re: Unified PMD vs. Unified PHY
Rich,
We realize SLP is a new proposal and requires a more thorough presentation.
Rest assured that we will bring a full proposal that addresses the concerns
that you have aired to the May meeting.
In the meantime, if you have further criteria and comments, please direct
them directly to me and/or Kameran, in addition to the reflector, as I
can't guarantee that I will read the 100 messages/day on the reflector.
Best regards,
Tom Truman
