Following our discussion during the SAS PHY working group and a meeting with STA, I have posted a set of guidelines to aid in the development of SAS 2.1 active connector proposals. Initial proposals must be submitted prior to the January T10 meeting for review during the PHY working group meeting during the January T10 week. There will also be a teleconference on 12/11/08 to discuss status of proposals. The guidelines may be accessed on the T10 web site at the link below (08-453):
