Thanks. The Computer Society doesn't ask for ongoing projects and since this is just an interim report, so I'll make this addition in the final year's report. Let's wait and add the new scope statement after our rules change. I did add a statement that "802.3ae may extend beyond the MAN space".

It should be noted that our scope now could arguably be construed to go beyond the Metropolitan Area Network because of the WAN PHY of 802.3af. I would add that the Third Millennium Medal given to LMSC was the only one given to a group. 2) Basic Standards Family Under the Wire Line Standards I would break out things into 2 sub bullets, one for still active and another for those that have apparently completed their work and are in hibernation. 802.8 has been disbanded, i.e. not active and no approved standard (as noted in the highlights). 3) Accomplishments To complete the structure that you have as: 2 New Standards Projects Completed in 2000 (Through Oct) 7 New Projects (Approved new PARs) in 2000 (Through Oct) 6 Withdrawn Projects in 2000 (Through Oct) there needs to be a list of the active projects too. Thanks for maintaining this.

IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards CommitteeOVERVIEWTerms of ReferenceThe IEEE 802 Local and Metropolitan Area Network Standards Committee has the basic charter to create, maintain, and encourage the use of IEEE/ANSI and equivalent IEC/ISO JTC 1 standards primarily within layers 1 and 2 of the OSI (Open System Interconnection) Reference Model. The committee has met at least three times per year as a Plenary body ever since it was formed in February 1980. As requested by individual countries, certain IEEE 802 series of standards are internationalized in JTC1. The IEEE series of standards are known as IEEE 802.xxx and the JTC 1 series of equivalent standards are known as ISO/IEC 8802-nnn. In the IEEE 802 context "local" means campus and "metropolitan" means intracity.In March 2000, the IEEE 802 celebrated its 20 years of operation and was awarded the IEEE Third Millennium Medal for outstanding contribution to the Industry.Basic Standards FamilyIEEE 802 has Multiple Working Groups with average total participation of about 600 individuals at Plenary sessions. Within IEEE 802 there are six distinct categories of standards as follows:
