[1] Draft PAR and CSD responses:

Draft PAR: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/21/ec-21-0224-01-00EC-par-ieee-p802-3df.pdf>
CSD responses: <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/21/ec-21-0225-00-00EC-csd-ieee-p802-3df.pdf>

[2] Explanatory technical background material:

The project is necessary to provide solutions to meet the growing bandwidth needs for computing and network interconnect application areas, such as cloud-scale data centers, internet exchanges, co-location services, content delivery networks, wireless infrastructure, service provider and operator networks, and video distribution infrastructure.

[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 2021 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 and NesCom agenda.
[c] Should the IEEE 802 LMSC not approve the submission, it will be removed from the NesCom agenda.
