Re: [802SEC] IEEE P802.3ba 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet updated 5 Criteria

Hi Geoff,

You bring up a good point. These change were approved by the IEEE 802.3 
Working group in March, I therefore should have stated:

In accordance with this the IEEE P802.3ba Task Force has updated their five 
criteria and the IEEE 802.3 Working Group has approved the changes.

Thanks and best regards,
  David

David-

Isn't this request to the EC premature?

You say:
"IEEE P802.3ba Task Force has updated their five criteria."
VS. the rule which says:
"Should a WG need to modify the responses"

Shouldn't this request to the EC wait until the Working Group has approved
and taken ownership of the 5 Criteria change?

Best regards,
Geoff

All,

The second paragraph of subclause 7.2.1 'Function' of the IEEE Project 802
LMSC P&P states:

The WG should periodically review and confirm that the five criteria used to
approve its PAR still reflect the state of the project. Should a WG need to
modify the responses to the five criteria during development in order to
accurately reflect the state of the project, the modified responses shall be
submitted to the EC for approval.

In accordance with this the IEEE P802.3ba Task Force has updated their five
criteria. Absent of further process guidance I will follow the timeline
found in subclause 17.2 'LMSC Approval'. Based on this the updated 5
Criteria for IEEE P802.3ba 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet, with changes marked
in underscore and strikeout, can be found at the URL -[
http://www.ieee802.org/3/ba/public/mar08/P8023ba_5C_changebar_0308.pdf ].
The Changes can be found on page 1 and 6. I will seek approval for this
updated 5 Criteria at the July 2008 Plenary session by the EC.

Best regards,
David Law
