Body
Dear Colleagues,
The IEEE 802.1 Working Group would like to thank ITU-T Study Group 13 for the
information provided in liaison statement 156
https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2024/liaison-itu-t-SG13-LS156-
DetermNetwrking-apr24.pdf on work items related to deterministic networking in
SG13.

The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee is chartered to work on local area
networks and metropolitan area networks as explained in former liaison
statements provided:
https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2021/liaison-response-itu-t-SG13-LS217-determcommunics-
1121-v01.pdf,
https://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2023/liaison-response-itu-t-SG13-
DeterminCommunicSvcsandNetworking-0323.pdf. These former liaison statements
explain that the IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Task Group (TG) is
responsible for deterministic communications in local and metropolitan area
networks.

Liaison statements are an important mechanism for communication between
organizations. We believe real collaboration occurs when delegates from both
organizations communicate, and consensus is reached in each organization
according to their rules and procedures. A lack of reply from the IEEE 802.1
Working Group does not imply agreement with a received liaison statement.

Note that the IEEE 802 work is open and contribution driven. Participation is
on an individual basis and technical discussion can be conducted based on
individual contributions. The TSN Task Group holds regular electronic meetings:
details are available at https://1.ieee802.org/wg-calendar.

Respectfully submitted,
Glenn Parsons
Chair, IEEE 802.1 Working Group
