11. Business #2 Minutes Reports P802.1CF conclusion
Chair explained that a number of potential issues were discovered, which require clarification by the TG. Issues shown in uploaded document as comments to the proposed minutes:
Proposed remedies were mostly fine with the TG. The beyondstandards blog statement has to be completely rephrased according to the understanding of the TG of the essence of discussions in Vancouver.
Hao will create a revision incorporating the agreed resolutions out of the conference call, as well as adopting the editorial hints of the secretary as far as applicable.
Reports
No other reports provided in addition to the report about the conclusion of P802.1CF as summarized below.
P802.1CF conclusion
Approved by RevCom on March 20th, and by Standards Board on March 21st
No discussions on P802.1CF in RevCom meeting
Diane Lacey is assigned IEEE staff editor
No production schedule available yet.

12. Business #3 P802.1CQ contributions
No new contribution available. A comprehensive contribution is being prepared for the next conference call.
Call for adoption of draft-bvtm-dhc-mac-assign-02 and draft-bernardos-dhc-slap-quadrant issued by IETF DHC WG
The importance of the drafts for P802.1CQ was discussed. Agreement that proposed solution of draft-bernardos-dhc-slap-quadrant might be used in P802.1CQ, but draft-bernardos-dhc-slap-quadrant only addresses part of the requirements and needs enhancements.
Adoption of the drafts is prerequisite to progress the drafts to proposed standards. P802.1CQ participants could raise their support directly to the DHC WG mailing list, but it would probably more effective to submit an endorsement for the adoption.
AI: Max to contact chairs to initiate and find out about the procedural way to submit endorsement to the IETF DHC WG.
Some initial thoughts were shared by the potential contributor about the LAAP design.
Regardless of re-use of IEEE 1722 EtherType, or an assignment of a new EtherType, a one-bye sub-type field will be used.
