Dear Colleagues,
For those who did not attend our meeting in Geneva, here is a
brief update on the state of our draft and our SMF baseline
proposal. Kapil will be updating the website and posting the
minutes soon, but I wanted to get a few things done quickly to
advance the interest of the Task Force.
Draft 1.0 comment resolution was completed and the editorial team
is now working on draft 1.1 for recirculation.
We held a straw poll to identify the order of motions for SMF
baseline adoption. The results of that straw poll led to motions
by four baseline proponents, all of which substantially failed to
obtain the necessary 75% level required for adoption.
Motions to adopt:
DMT: Y: 27 N: 51 A: 31
PAM8: Y: 32 N: 48 A: 34
CWDM: Y: 37
N: 55 A:
27
PSM4: Y: 48 N: 45 A: 26
During my 802.3 closing report, I observed that given our
schedule, its unlikely that we can achieve the necessary consensus
to adopt an SMF baseline without impacting our project schedule
and potentially, due to resources shifting toward the 400G
project, we could potentially stall if we continue to work on this
baseline proposal. There were concerns raised within 802.3 that
our 5C responses may not accurately reflect the activity of our
project if a new SMF PMD is not adopted.
To address the continued lack of consensus on a new SMF PMD, and
provide a forum for modifying our objectives and 5C responses to
align them with the current state of our project, I am proposing
to form a "Consensus Ad hoc". I will chair this group and
it will be open to all participants. The focus of the group will
be to provide a forum for discussion on consensus efforts, and a
revision of our project documents to align them with the project
state. This will enable us to ensure we go into the September
Interim with consensus on how to proceed and have recommendations
to the Task Force for modification of our project documents.
The first meeting of the Consensus Ad hoc will be this
Thursday at 8am PDT. I will be sending out a notice shortly with
the dial-in information.
Regards,
Dan Dove
Chair, IEEE P802.3bm
