Subject: [STDS-802-3] March plenary meeting announcement

TO: IEEE 802.3 Voters, Observers and Liaisons

Dear Colleagues:

IEEE 802.3 will meet Monday 9th March through Thursday 12th March in 
Vancouver, BC, Canada. All IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled for the 
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The deadline for the early registration discount 
is fast approaching, Friday, February 20, 2009, 6PM PST (Saturday, 
February 21, 2009, 2AM UTC). As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session 
announcement, registration and current hotel availability information can 
be found through the 'Next IEEE 802 Plenary session notice' link on our 
home web page [ www.ieee802.org/3 ]. To receive email updates and 
reminders for the plenary sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL 
reflector [ http://listserv.ieee.org ].

The opening IEEE 802.3 working group (WG) meeting will begin at 1:00 PM on 
Monday 9th March, and the closing IEEE 802.3 WG meeting will be 1:00 PM on 
Thursday 12th March. Task Force (TF) and Study Group (SG) meetings will 
follow our typical schedule also found on our web site [ 
http://www.ieee802.org/3/plenary.html ]. The agenda will be approved at 
the meeting, the draft agenda is available in the minutes area [ 
http://ieee802.org/3/minutes/mar09/ ] and will be updated as required 
prior to the meeting. As usual, TF, standing committee and any appropriate 
ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the opening and closing IEEE 
802.3 meetings.

The IEEE-SA has supported the development of an electronic meeting 
attendance tracking tool (formerly known as IMAT). At this session we will 
gather two records of attendance, the attendance tool and attendance books 
in each meeting. The attendance tool will be the only official record of 
attendance for building and maintaining Working Group membership. The 
meeting attendance books will be very similar to the old IEEE 802.3 
attendance books, there will however be one copy specific to each meeting. 
The contents of these books will be recorded in the minutes for each 
meeting and it is important that you review these minutes to make sure 
your attendance is recorded correctly as this will be the backup should 
there be an issue with the attendance tool.

As usual, attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three 
of the four days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how long a 
particular TF or SG might be meeting. The attendance system will only 
allow sign in on Monday at the opening IEEE 802.3 plenary and on Thursday 
at the closing IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting (not during the Thursday morning 
meetings).

A number of WG decisions are expected during the IEEE 802.3 meetings (most 
on Thursday). Depending on the amount of discussion, and though not 
expected at this time, the Thursday meeting may run beyond our target 5:30 
PM ending time. Additional subgroup information follows. Contact 
information for contacting task force and study group chairs, and archival 
project information can be found on our web site: [ www.ieee802.org/3 ].

I look forward to seeing you in Vancouver.

IEEE 802.3 Rules, Interpretations
---------------------------------

At present, there are no interpretations or proposed rules changes.


Project Authorisation Requests
------------------------------

The following are the PARs from other Working Groups for consideration at 
the March plenary. Comments are due by 5PM on Tuesday so if there is any 
interest to review any of these PARs an Ad Hoc will be chartered to 
generate and submit the comments.

At the November 2008 IEEE 802 plenary meeting the IEEE 802.3 Working Group 
vote to allow the IEEE 802.1 Data Centre Bridging Task Group to undertake 
the IEEE P802.3bd Priority-based Flow Control MAC Control Frame project 
hence the IEEE P802.3bd PAR will be considered under PARs from other 
Working Groups agenda item.

Calls for Interest
------------------

Calls for Interest: http://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_0309_1.html

There will be a call for interest in forming an IEEE 802.3 study group to 
examine IEEE 802.3 Support for IEEE 802.1AS Time and Synchronization. 

The IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) project has requested IEEE 802.3 
support for IEEE 802.1AS Timing and Synchronization protocol. This project 
would be completing the work begun in the IEEE 802.3 Residential Ethernet 
project, subsequently transferred to IEEE 802.1 that became the Audio 
Video Bridging (AVB) project.
