Guests and New Members

Action Item Review

Dave G reviewed and closed all remaining items with Steve.

Liaison Reports

Dave G continues to ask Accellera if they can appoint Gael Paul in some role so his participation in the WG can continue.

Ballot Status

Ballot Pool closed on March 23, balanced with 9 participants. Waiting for word from IEEE if Jasper's status change requires us to rebalance.

Schedule

Dave G showed an updated schedule. This shows a one wek slip due to Joe's activities during Draft 5 creation. This leave 33 calendar days slack to hit the December revcom agenda.

General Status

Review, feedback, and updates for draft 5 are ongoing. Some material came in recently and some is still coming this week, so there is a question if Joe can start on May 19 or not. We will monitor status closely this week and decide among a) handlff everything on May 19, b) ask Joe to start on portions, or ) move handoff to May 26.

John pointed out with volume of change since Draft 4, that a Draft 6 is a possibility.

Individual Clause Status

Clause 1 - Overview

Adam is working on an update for clause 1 and expects to post something this week, hopefully today.

Clause 2 - Normative References

Dave G knows of no further changes needed.

Clause 3 - Definitions, acronyms, abbreviations

Dave G believes all content is posted: the clause from Draft 4 plus additional definitions from Synopsys's comments on Draft 4 plus one definition from Mentor's rewritten Trust Model material.

Clause 4 - Trust model

John rewrote the trust model clause, posting it on April 2. John will make a minor revision this week.

Clause 5 - Interoperability

Ray posted an update on May 11. One new section added based on feedback from Gael Paul. Ray asked the WG to review.

Clause 6 - Key Management

Ruchi has been working on updates. Steve exchanged email on proposed updates from Ruchi and is working with her to complete this. Adam with Ruchi and Steve will post an update this week.

Clause 7 - Rights Management

Dave G posted an update on April 25. John mentioned feedback from Gael related to disjoint envelopes and granularity of protected design units. Nobody has dealt with multiple envelopes per design unit, if allowed at all, if last envelope applies to whole design unit, or something else. John will discuss in Annex C for WG review.

Clause 8 - License Management
