[802SEC] IEEE P802.3cp draft PAR and CSD response - Bidirectional 10 Gb/s, 25 Gb/s, and 50 Gb/s Optical Access PHYs

Dear EC members,

In support of subclause 9.2 'IEEE 802 LMSC Approval' of the LMSC Operations Manual please find below the required information in respect to the IEEE P802.3cp Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Bidirectional 10 Gb/s, 25 Gb/s, and 50 Gb/s Optical Access PHYs PAR for consideration at the November 2018 plenary.

Best regards,
  David

[1] Draft PAR and CSD responses:

Draft PAR: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0175-00-00EC-ieee-p802-3cp-draft-par.pdf>
CSD responses: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/18/ec-18-0176-01-00EC-ieee-p802-3cp-draft-csd.pdf>

[2] Explanatory technical background material:

Bidirectional optical access PHYs are needed for point-to-point applications where the availability of fibers is limited. Bidirectional PHYs require half the number of fibers as dual-fiber duplex PHYs.

[3] Status of the development of the PAR:

The draft PAR and CSD responses are pending IEEE 802.3 Working Group approval at the November 2018 plenary.

Since the submission deadline for the December NesCom meeting occurs prior to the date of the November IEEE 802 EC meeting, I will pre-submit this draft PAR to NesCom on the understanding that:

[a] Any changes to the draft PAR text resulting from the Plenary will be promptly communicated to the NesCom Administrator.
[b] Should the IEEE 802.3 Working Group not approve the submission, it will be removed from the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee and NesCom agenda.
[c] Should the IEEE 802 LMSC Executive Committee not approve the submission, it will be removed from the NesCom agenda.
