Agenda What’s happened since last face-to-face Important dates What about 1914.3v2?

What’s happened since Mar 2018 D3.1 was withdrawn from RevCom Fix error in Figure 18 Recirculation ballot needs to be run We will add an OUI/CID subType mechanism to the draft (a big bonus!!!) Clarify and enhance TLV OAM control messaging Publishing date has moved from June to, hopefully, September (thanks to Nicholas who fast-tracked the publication)

Potential Recirculation Schedule Draft D3.2 Start: June 6 or 7, 2018 End: June 17, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on Monday, June 18, 2018 Draft D3.3 Start: June 21, 2018 End: July 1, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on July 3, 2018 Draft D3.4 Start: July 5, 2018 End: July 15, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on Monday, July 16, 2018 Draft D3.5 Start: July 16, 2018 End: July 26, 2018 – submit to RevCom

What about P1914.3v2? With addition of OUI/CID mechanism, we believe xRAN’s immediate needs for using RoE common header are satisfied What is required of P1914.3v2 and when is it needed? Contributions are welcome
