Re: [802SEC] +++Motion to approve P802.3an press release w/update
Bob-
I object to the current version of the release for the following reasons:
(The new one is better on the basis of the other improvements, but not good
enough)
I consider the following sentence to be misleading at best and untrue at worst:
"This allows enterprise users to leverage their installed Ethernet
architecture, software and cabling as they migrate to 10 Gb/s operation."
I don't think that enterprise users can depend on being able "leverage
their installed cabling" since a lot of the installed cabling won't cut it
at 10Gig.
It would be more accurate to say:
"This allows enterprise users to leverage their installed Ethernet
software and cabling architecture as they migrate to 10 Gb/s operation."
If you insist on leaving the Corr 1 text in (and I think that is a bad
idea) you should at least change it to reflect its publication. i.e. change:
"IEEE has also approved IEEE 802.3-2005/Corr. 1, ...",
to:
"IEEE has also approved and published IEEE 802.3-2005/Corr. 1, ...",
I urge you to include these changes.

Colleagues:
Thanks to Dr. Marks, a couple errors have been corrected. Other minor
editorial changes (at least in my judgment) have been incorporated based
on EC comments. It was decided to leave the Cor 1 paragraph in the
release as that is a more substantive change.
I have recorded all those that indicated they would convert their votes
if the two mandatory changes were accepted in the tally below.
If any of you wish to flip your votes based on the attached editorial
changes, please so state. The status of the P802.3an press release
motion is:
