Agenda • What’s happened since last face-to-face • Important dates • What about 1914. 3 v 2?

What’s happened since Mar 2018 • D 3. 1 was withdrawn from Rev. Com • Fix error in Figure 18 • Recirculation ballot needs to be run • We will add an OUI/CID sub. Type 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 D 3. 2 • • • Start: June 6 or 7, 2018 End: June 17, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on Monday, June 18, 2018 Draft D 3. 3 • • • Start: June 21, 2018 End: July 1, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on July 3, 2018 Draft D 3. 4 • • • Start: July 5, 2018 End: July 15, 2018 Discuss: teleconference on Monday, July 16, 2018 Draft D 3. 5 • • Start: July 16, 2018 End: July 26, 2018 – submit to Rev.

What about P 1914. 3 v 2? • With addition of OUI/CID mechanism, we believe x. RAN’s immediate needs for using Ro. E common header are satisfied • What is required of P 1914. 3 v 2 and when is it needed? • Contributions are welcome
