All, I have asked David Law to post the first pass of the decision matrix on the
802.3af reflector with the November '00 contributions. Once the file
"CriteriaMatrix(1).rtf) is posted, please download it ant review it. I have
left in in rich text format so that you can cut and paste in creating your own
updated contributions.
I tried to send the file to the reflector yesterday, but it bounced because it
was too large. Please read the attached note, and please forward your
contributions to fleshing out the decision matrix so that we will be in a good
position to make a defintive decision on the choice of detection scheme at the
November meeting.
Thank you.

Subject: Criteria for Evaluating Detaection Schemes
All, I have been working with Don Stewart and Rick Brooks to create a first
pass at a decision matrix to establish the criteria for evaluating the two
proposed detection schemes, "Resistive + diodes" and "Coupled diodes". The
matrix attached to his note as a .doc file, presents criteria, and then has
boxes for listing the PROs and CONs for each detechion scheme. In addition i
thas space for notes regarding the discussion points. The matrix does not
include a weighting of the importance of the criteria. That weighting will be
left to each of us to develop and use with the decision matrix to determine
which scheme is preferable.
This matrix should be considered a first pass. If you have further proposed
entries that you would like to see in the matrix, please develop your input
stating which box(es) that input will fit into, and send it to this reflector.
I will take it and incorporate it into the matrix. Note that it is acceptable
to develop new criteria.
Special thanks goes to Don Stewart for doing the lions share of the work in
developing the attached matrix. However, that thanks goes with the
understanding that proper balance and perspective demands that each of us with
additional input bring that forward so that the final matrix will be a better
balance of the entire knowledge base distributed among the members of this task
force.
I will update the matrix (approximately weekly), based on the input received.
I have no particular ax to grind in favor of either detection scheme, and I will
do my best to integrate the comments in as unbiased a way as I can. I am
strongly driven to see our task force come to a decision on this issue at the
November meeting, and see this matrix approach to presenting the benefits and
pitfalls of each approach as one good way to reach a decision.
