[802.3BA] May Interim Meeting Announcement



Dear Task Force Members,

The IEEE P802.3ba Task Force will be meeting May 4 – May 7, 2009 during the May IEEE 802.3 Interim Meeting. The Task Force will be meeting all day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  On Thursday, the meeting will end at noon (Eastern).  Meeting details may be found at http://www.ieee802.org/3/interims/index.html.   You are strongly encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible.  Visit the meeting registration web site to register for the meetings. The deadlines for web registration are 13-April for the first week’s meetings and 20-April for the second week’s meetings.  Please note that the IEEE P802.3ba Task Force is meeting the second week of meetings.   

 

The agenda for the meeting will be resolution of comments received against D2.0 and to begin the track towards getting to sponsor ballot.  Presentations for the interim meeting should focus on comments submitted against D2.0.  Please note if you are intending to give a presentation in support of a suggested remedy (or providing any supplemental material) for any comments, please indicate this in the “Suggested Remedy” field in your comment submission. 

 

All task force attendees should be reviewing D 2.0, as the ballot closes on Thursday, 16th April 2009 11:59PM AOE.  With this being the first circulation of the Working Group Ballot, we are anticipating a larger number of comments than received during Task Force Review.  As discussed, all individuals should be participating in the offline consensus building for proposed remedies for any comments made against D2.0.  

 

Anyone wishing to present, please provide the following information (per Procedure for Presenters web page: http://www.ieee802.org/3/hssg/public/presentproc.html        

 

Name of presenter

Title of presentation

Length of time requested (this should include time for questions and answers)

Brief description of topic

 

Presentations should be kept to 15 minutes in duration, excluding time for questions and answers.  Requests for presentation time greater than 15 minutes will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the requestor should contact the chair prior to making the request to justify the additional time. 

 

Requests for presentation time must be made two Fridays preceding the meeting.  For the May Interim meeting, requests for presentation time shall be made to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx and must be made by April 24, 2009.  The presenter shall e-mail a PDF, soft-copy version of the presentation to me at jdambrosia@xxxxxxxx  by Tuesday of the week preceding the meeting.  For the May Interim, presentations must be submitted by April 28, 2009.  As a reminder, please make sure that all requests for presentations or submissions of presentation material have no restrictive notices at the bottom of the email.  All such emails will be refused and requests / presentations will not be acknowledged. 

 

All individuals submitting presentations should review the Procedures for Presenters Page (http://www.ieee802.org/3/hssg/public/presentproc.html) .   I would greatly appreciate presenters reviewing their own presentations to verify that they have followed the cited Presentation Style Guidelines.

 

Also, to support the web site search tool used by the IEEE P802.3 web site the 'Document Information' fields of the PDF file must be completed as follows:

Title: Title of presentation

Author: Name(s) of author(s)

Subject: IEEE P802.3ba Task Force

 

As a reminder individuals should not forward presentations to our webmaster, Frank, asking him to post presentations.  All should note that files are not posted until they have been reviewed, so please follow directions noted above.

 

As a reminder to the group, we are a contribution driven organization, and we do have a fairly large project underway.  It should not be assumed by anyone that work will just get done without contributions to drive it.  Areas not moving forward will be brought to the attention of the Task Force for consideration on how to address; as such issues can not be allowed to threaten the overall project schedule. 

 

I look forward to seeing everyone in Quebec!

 

Best Regards,

 

John D’Ambrosia
