The group did a forecast about the bandwidth requirements only - hence the currently written text is consistent with both the scope and findings of the BWA activity.

>>> Based on consultation with the IEEE-SA PR agency, the attached press release has been developed to announce the formation of an Industry Connections Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus Group as well the approval of the IEEE 802.3 Bandwidth Assessment report. The IEEE 802.3 Bandwidth Assessment report was approved by the IEEE 802.3 Working Group at its closing plenary last week, and approval of the Industry Connections (IC) Higher Speed Ethernet Consensus Group is currently in IEEE-SA Standards Board email ballot.

>>> I sent out a previous version of this release for review on 12th July< http://www.ieee802.org/secmail/msg14975.html> however the release has been updated since then from emphasizing the release of the Bandwidth Assessment to the IEEE's next steps, i.e. the formation of the Higher Speed Consensus Group. Based on this I would like to request review before proceeding to an email ballot. Based on this please provide comments by Wednesday 1st August, 2012 11:59PM AOE.
