Dear Deborah,

At the T11 Plenary in Orlando, FL on December 11, 1997, a motion was made that "T11 requests that Task Group T11.3 "FC Interconnection Schemes" be established, and assigned the FC-SW, FC-AL-2, FC-AL-3, & FC-SL projects". The motion was approved with 46 for, 2 opposed, 8 abstaining and 27 organizations not voting. On December 11, 1997 TC T11 had 83 member organizations, and thus a majority of both those voting and the membership of T11 were in favor of the motion.

Rich Taborek of G2 Networks and Jeff Stai of Brocade Communications have agreed to act as interim Chair and Vice-Chairof TG T11.4 respectively, pending the completion of the NCITS Call for Volunteers for the Chair position.

It was also agreed at the T11 Plenary that, if the request was approved, TG T11.3 would hold an organizational meeting during the April 1998 T11 Plenary week.

Could you please therefore add the request to establish TG T11.3 to the agenda for the January 1998 OMC meeting ?

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Regards,









Roger Cummings

Chair, TC T11
