Other (for any supplementary information):
|
|
|
It is expected that a copy of the latest draft will be shared via liaison into the November 2023 SG15 meeting.
In order to avoid a lengthy delay between the approval of IEEE 802.3df and the approval of G.8023 Amd 2, G.709 Amd 3, and G.709.1, it is desirable to begin the approval process for the 3 ITU Recommendations at the November 2023 SG15 plenary, with the expectation that 802.3df will be approved before the ITU Recommendations are published. The texts for consent include a note to the TSB to delay publication until IEEE 802.3df-2024 has been approved.
