Review of minutes
No comments raised to any of the minutes.
Reports
P802.1CF is on RevCom agenda of Mar 20th meeting in Munich
Max will attend meeting in person
Jessy Rouyer requested adoption of new template for F2F meeting minutes. OmniRAN TG will adopt template for all its meetings amending the template with list of participants, detailed agenda, and clear attribution of discussions to agenda items.
Max will assist Hao for adoption of new meeting minutes template

14. Business #3 P802.1CQ contributions and discussions
Antonio introduced the potential adoption of MAAP for unicast addresses.
The secretary of the dormant IEEE 1722 WG explained that it could be feasible to take over the maintenance of the MAAP from IEEE 1722 allowing for functional additions when keeping strict backward compatibility. A liaison to IEEE 1722 should be considered when the feasibility of adopting MAAP would mature.
Obstacles of adoption are the private ownership of the EtherType used for MAAP as well as the superfluous message structure.
Roger presented his proposed text of a liaison to IEEE 1722.
Text was discussed and a few small edits were introduced.
The chair uploaded the revision to mentor after the meeting.
The chair created a text document out of the pptx contribution and uploaded the liaison text document to mentor for WG approval

15. Business #4 IEEE 802.1CF socialization activities
List of actions as discussed and agreed at Hiroshima meeting:
100 word notice to IEEE Communications Standards Magazine
Max will create draft of notice for review in OmniRAN TG
Updated presentation on aim and content of standard
Max will update existing slide set to reflect final standards content
Article for IEEE Communications Standards Magazine
Joint work of Max, Walter, Antonio, and Hao; to be started soon to reach submission deadline for September issue
Contribution to the IEEE blog beyond standards
Contact IEEE staff for assistence
Potential IEEE 802 press release
Has to be approved by EC. Requires some customer quote, which may be challenging
Contribution to IEEE future networks (conference)
Multiple options for contributions to conferences; scope and timeline of conference must fit. For further considerations.
Conclusion in January was to start with the first three items.
It was recommended to add beyondstandards, as it was also used for publication purposes out of Nendica
Potential new project for OmniRAN TG
No contribution received.

P802.1CQ ToC and specification text contributions
Antonio presented his proposal of a ToC structure. During the discussion the proposal on the slides was modified according to discussions.
Open questions were presented and potential conclusions discussed.
Agreement reached to start the drafting of the specification with the established ToC. Modifications may be introduced during the development as needed.
IEEE related discussions
Antonio presented a contribution to md addressing the address policy discovery, which will be discussed in on Thursday.
The concept and dependencies to 802.1CQ were discussed and potential dependencies were considered.
Conclusion reached that the proposed amendment to md sufficiently covers the necessary additions to PAD.
