Re: [802SEC] Comment request on proposed IEEE P802.3bj Ethernet operations over backplanes and copper cable assemblies press release

["Law, David" <dlaw@HP.COM>]

Dear EC members,

Thank you for all your feedback - based on this feedback please find attached an updated version of the press release - as well as compare version to show the changes from the previously circulated version. In particular we have re-written the first two paragraphs - to mirror what we used in the past for similar release such as the one of IEEE P802.3bg. I hope to open the EC ballot shortly.

Best regards,
  David

David-

I would revise the 1st sentence/paragraph to say:

PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, [DATE] - IEEE, the world's largest professional association
advancing technology for humanity, today announced the launch of its new IEEE P802.3bjTM
Task Force a new Ethernet standards project, P802.3bj. Aimed at expanding backplane and short-reach infrastructures needed to support the next generation of highrate
Ethernet speeds, the group will define physical layers (PHYs) for 100 Gb/s Ethernet
operations in electronic equipment over backplanes and copper cable assemblies. When finalized, the new
specifications will help facilitate the development and delivery of lower-cost, higher density
100Gb/s solutions.

Dear EC members,

I hope that the IEEE P802.3bj Ethernet operations over backplanes and copper cable assemblies PAR will be approved at the IEEE-SA Standards Board meeting on Saturday 10th September 2011 and based on that I have arranged for the development of the attached press release.

Before I start a formal ballot I would like to request comments and changes that should be included.

Thanks and best regards,
  David
