Received comments P802.1CF/D2.1 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0057-00-CF00-d2-1-wg-ballot-recirc-disposition-table.xlsx The group discussed and resolved the submitted comments. The outcome of the comment resolution is captured in https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0057-01-CF00-d2-1-wg-ballot-recirc-disposition-table.xlsx After the meeting the chair generated the official disposition documentation through the Java database. The final disposition is available by http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/private/cf-drafts/d2/802-1cf-d2-1-dis.pdf P802.1CF related motions to EC Chair explained motions to EC for extension of P802.1CF PAR and for going to sponsor ballot. After review of the editorial modifications to the draft through D2.1 comment resolution with acting 802.1 chair John Messenger, it was decided to run another recirculation and apply for conditional approval of forwarding to sponsor ballot. The editor offered to provide updated document until Thursday, July 12th.

Business #4 P802.1CQ contributions https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0058-00-CQ00-enabling-pad-of-laap-using-ieee-802-11aq.pdf Antonio presented his proposal for dynamic assignment of MAC address for IEEE 802.11 leveraging the pre-association discovery specification 802.11aq. The discussing showed that the approach well addresses the requirements and does not require standardization efforts in 802.11 https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0059-00-CQ00-address-assignment-for-stateless-flow-zone-switching-in-the-data-center.pdf Roger presented his idea of use of special structured MAC addresses for enhancements to forwarding efficiency, which requires dynamic assignment of MAC addresses according to the location of the station in the bridged network. The discussion addressed the necessary address assignment functions and tried to identify the part of the solution in scope for P802.1CQ. Plan for initial scope of P802.1CQ and going forward The chair raised the question of the scope of P802.1CF. There was agreement that the PAR is quite broad, and more details on objectives can be found in the IEEE 802c specification, as well as in a slideset of Pat Thaler: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2016/cq-thaler-objectives-1116.pdf No information was available about the status of the contribution on objectives. The group agreed to work on a use cases and requirements document to nail down the functionalities required in P802.1CCQ.

Business #5 Plan for initial scope of P802.1CQ and going forward Oslo Thursday morning 8-10 1CQ discussions Invitation for use case scenario descriptions Antonio will create PAD description Discussions about potential future work in OmniRAN https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0061-00-00ic-potential-future-work-in-omniran.pdf Satoko provided introduction into thoughts for further work in OmniRAN https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/18/omniran-18-0062-01-00ic-supplemental-for-ffiot-enhancement.pdf Kenichi explained the problem space for potential consideration Discussion led to multiple hints to enhance presentation of the problem An update of the problem slides was offered for the upcoming F2F meeting in Oslo.
