[8023-POEP] Project scope
All:
While I will admit to a certain prejudice
as to the direction that the Study Group should head (which would be to
make minimal adjustments to Clause 33 which I largely consider to be not
broken); I would also say that there is not much in our charter that bounds
the scope of the group. Thanks to Geoff for pointing out the confidentiality
notice; but now that it is no longer "confidential" and assuming
that if presented at the Study Group meeting it bears no copyright notice
I would rule that it would open for presentation. I must admit that
it does appear much further reaching that what I would consider the concensus
of the group; however, I feel honor bound to open the floor at first. I
hope that to start we have a vibrant discussion of as broad as anyone wishes
to go; we can then let the group decide where to head.
Please - all interested parties should
prepare presentations on any power related topic that they feel relate
to the 802.3 domain, no matter how remotely. As stated earlier, I
am inclined to be very liberal on what is in scope - until the groups hears
some initial presentations and voices an informed opinion to limit the
scope. If you feel that the scope should be narrow - that would be
a worthwhile presentation to make. Don't assume that someone else
will pick up the flag, plan to present. (It looks good on the resume
too . . .)
Finally, I am on a ski trip with my
kids this week and really not in too much digital touch - $4.00 for every
30 minutes (I believe this cost discussion is allowed . . . ) I am not
ignoring the group, just not paying much attention.
