What needs to be done for November <month year> What needs to be done for November Goal: Determine interface needs of both MAC & PHY proposals Send final input form to proposers Email By 9/29 Proposers submit interface inputs to Mary DuVal and Rick Roberts for consolidation By 10/13 Mary DuVal, Texas Instruments

What needs to be done for November (cont.) <month year> What needs to be done for November (cont.) Create an interface document to consolidate the inputs This document can be used by task group as initial inputs to develop the draft standard Rick Roberts will edit this document Email resultant document and issue list Email traffic on issues to determine possible resolutions Use TG3 conference call time to discuss the determined resolutions First draft by 10/20 Bring to task group indications of possible issues that might arise when any particular MAC proposal is combined with any particular PHY Discuss on TG3 conference call, as appropriate Mary DuVal, Texas Instruments
