Re: [802SEC] Draft press release for review - IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Ethernet publication

[George Zimmerman <george@CMEPHYCONSULTING.COM>]

Agree.

To Roger’s point –every reference to IEEE 802.3bs or IEEE P802.3bs needs to be checked.  Sometimes it is IEEE P802.3bs-2017, but in most cases should be IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017.  In the one place where it should be IEEE P802.3bs it isn’t (“John D’Ambrosia, chair, IEEE P802.3bs Task Force and senior…”)

 

John’s quote is a bit wordy, but that’s actually how he talks 😊.  I’ll leave it to him to tighten up if he likes – its style.

David,

 

I like it. Please remember to replace "P802.3bs™-2017" with "IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017".

 

Just a thought: would it be an opportune time to mention any other ongoing activities in 802.3? I know that the last paragraph says that 802 is always evolving, but it might help people to know whether, regarding the markets addressed by 802.3bs, you are taking a break or are already laying the groundwork for another step forward.

 

Cheers,

 

Roger

Dear EC members,

Based on the publication of IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017 Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Media Access Control (MAC) Parameters, Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s I have arranged for the development of the attached press release. Since the development of this press release was at the request of the Task Force Chair and myself I'm seeking EC approval.

I will seek this approval at the opening IEEE 802 EC plenary on Monday 5th March 2018 and I'm going to request that this be placed on the consent agenda. Based on this I would like to request comments on the attached draft.

Thanks and best regards,
David
