Administrative issues

Approval of minutes
Alain moved to approve the July 5, 2017 minutes. Joachim seconded.

IEEE Patent policy
Review of IEEE Patent Policy patent policy was skipped because all participants in the telephone conference were regulars.

Status of IEEE Std 1076.1-2017

IEEE Std 1076.1-2017 document is being finalized by IEEE-SA Editorial staff. The final document will be reviewed by Ernst and Alain. The publication is expected on or before January 31, 2017. Afterwards, the IEEE Std 1076.1-2017 document will also be made available for current WG members in the member-only area of the WG's TWiki-site. Adoption of the standard by IEC related to the IEC/IEEE dual logo agreement will be driven by the DASC.

Access to collateral material (packages, UML, etc) will be possible via http://standards.ieee.org/downloads/. Ernst clarifies details with Jonathan Goldberg (IEEE-SA Liason).

The maintenance of the joint document source for the VHDL and VHDL-AMS standards will be adusted with the P1076 WG by Ernst and Alain. Feedback from the IEEE is needed whether structured or unstructered FrameMaker format will be accepted in the future.

Status of P1076.1 Working Group

The Project Authorization Request (PAR) of the WG will be expired on December 31, 2017. Thus, the WG will become inactive and move into maintenance mode. Regular meetings are no longer performed. It is not planned to run new officer elections. Ernst will attend DASC meetings in irregular intervals.

Withdrawal of IEEE Std 1076.1.1-2011

IEEE Std 1076.1.1-2011 was integrated into the IEEE Std 1076.1-2017. One erratum was fixed. Withdrawal of the IEEE Std 1076.1.1-2011 is necesary. However, it is not time critical. Ernst will discuss the procedure with DASC Chair Stan Krolikoski.

AOB

There was no AOB.

Adjourn

The meeting ended at 9:00 am PST.
