No changes to the agenda as discussed. Noted that 1071.01 was uploaded post deadline. It was agreed to accept the revision 01.

No IPR Declarations

Meeting minutes as mentioned in the contributions and those that are uploaded on the Wiki were approved. URL for those on the Wiki needs to be added.

(AP - URL for Q3 Interim Meetings was added)

bbf2016.1047 - SG15 to BBF - Will be reviewed in join session, but feeling is that it is just an FYI. No action needed from FTTdp.

bbf2016.1046 - Documents from ITU-T -  More FYI and notification of taking into account our feedback. No action needed from FTTdp.

bbf2016.974 - Incoming Liaison from ETSI ATTM TM6 - Question on the maximum latency allowed when forwarding message. Appears to be an implementation question rather than something that needs to be specified. We are aware of the necessity to send the message as quickly as possible, but we would not specify a particular value as it would be left up to implementer. Will discuss during joint session on Tuesday 4pm with PhyTX.

bbf2016.978 - Response from IETF on YANG model work - Acknowledging the fact we are referencing their work and collaborating with them. Highlighting work ongoing on QoS YANG model which is currently a personal draft that may become a working group draft. FYI and no response required from FTTdp.

bbf2016.975 -   Valid range for specific objects - Actual number of bits per symbol. Highlighting that there was a mistake in their previous documentation. Joey Boyd to confirm if this change has been actioned or not. No response required.

AP - Joey Boyd confirmed that this change has been actions. No further action required. 

bbf2016.574 - Old liaison that was held open to await papers on the IL-338.  Text changes have been made.

AP - Christopher Croot to create text to send latest version of VDSL YANG model highlighting that we have changed the text in accordance with their comment.

 No contributions at this meeting. Marcin Drzymala has suggested that he has an intention to provide contributions.

It was also mentioned that there was a possibility of  holding an interim meeting to tackle the SB comment resolution for TR-301i2 and this could be held in Ipswich at BT some time mid to late Jan 2017.

The opening session was concluded.

bbf2015.1126.08 (Draft WT-301i2)

• Presented by Mike Shaffer

bbf2012.1466.24 (Issues List for WT-301i2)

• Presented by Dong Wei

bbf2016.1080.00 ("Proposed text for WT-301i2"; ADTRAN, Calix, Nokia)

• Presented by Ken Ko
• A number of edits to WT-301 are proposed: to add necessary references and definitions; to clarify the specification of DUID-EN; and to make the text and requirements regarding DPU-PMA authentication consistent with source RFCs.
• Proposed text were accepted. 

bbf2016.1179.00 (New TLVs for G.fast expected rate reporting; BT)

• Presented by Christopher Croot
• Table 14.1 of TR-301 still contains TBDs against the 2 ‘expected’ data rates for G.fast. This contribution proposes that these are now defined by the BBF.
• AP - Christopher Croot will work offline with Thomas Haag to propose a draft liaison to the IETF, which will be discussed at a teleconference.  

How the NETCONF capability should be handled in WT-301i2 was discussed. It was suggested that this issue be addressed in either WT-301i3 or OD-379.

Led by Les Brown, Dong Wei 

bbf2016.1201.00 (Liaison from TM6 to the BBF on the next steps for Reverse Power Feeding)

• Lincoln Lavoie summarized the course of action agreed by PHYtx. 

bbf2016.974.00 (Liaison from TM6 to the BBF on the subject of latency on OAM for Reverse Power Feeding)

• Aleksandra Kozarev summarized the liaison.
• Jan Erreygers: ETSI/TM6 is interested in measuring the instantaneous power/current. Thus, this delay value is useful.
• AP - Christopher Croot volunteered to draft a response. 

bbf2016.1056.00 ("Reverse power feed for coax"; AT&T, ADTRAN, Arris, Microsemi)

• Presented by Tom Starr
• Agreed to the proposed requirement for WT-301i2. 
• AP - The authors will draft a liaison to ETSI to include a use case and study the RPF behavior on coax from the CPE’s to the DPU, providing TR-285a1 coax cable model annex for further study. The draft liaison will be discussed at a teleconference.

bbf2016.1177.00 ("G.fast Timing and Sync Requirements"; BT)

• Presented by David Thorne
• The proposed agreements in bbf2016.1177.01 were agreed.

• Presented by David Thorne
• AT&T supported the proposal.
• Nokia, Calix, Intel, Metanoia, CommScope opposed to adopting the proposed requirements in WT-301i2
• The proposed requirements were not agreed.

bbf2016.1131.00 (Bonding Management: Adtran, Calix, and Nokia)

• Presented by Marta Seda and Joey Boyd
• Contains a new YANG module for Ethernet-based bonding of VDSL2 and G.fast, based on TR-159.
• There is an associated list of open issues. Two new issues came from discussion:
  • Implementation of when and must constraints in XML on the line should be validated.
  • How does the model attach to PTM or ATM through fastdsl or other interfaces.
• Accepted as a baseline model for bonding, to be further improved and should eventually be incorporated in WT-355. The model will go into Bitbucket, issues are to go into JIRA by November 18.

bbf2016.1071.02 (Errors found in TR-355 issue 1 (part 2): Nokia)

• Presented by Frank Van der Putten
• Sections 2, and 3: agreed to description change, and to add status deprecated to these parameters; description of 3: change “TR-355” to “this data model.”
• Sections 4, 5, agreed.
• Section 6 not agreed, not backward compatible.
• Section 7, 8, agreed.
• Section 9 not agreed, not backward compatible. Instead write in the description that all profiles must be configured, add description to direct or indirect attachment. (e.g., they are mandatory).
• Section 10. Need to move xtse into line-spectrum-profile. Agreed to deprecate xdsl-transmission-system-enabling and add a new xtse into line-spectrum-profile. Explain reason for deprecation in description. Also deprecate useless xtse in spectrum.
• Section 11, agreed, do not make mandatory.
• Section 12, not agreed.
• Section 13, agreed. Will deprecate part of the grouping.
• Agreed to incorporate these and previous changes in the YANG and send a corrigendum to WT-355a0 to straw ballot, with the shortest ballot cycle possible.
