1. Reviewed Patent information

- Chas reviewed the patent information which can be found at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt

2. Approval of agenda

3. Review minutes from last meeting (Oct-22-2008)

  There was some confusion about what was done with Item 2226.  No one 
  could remember exactly what  happened.  There is notes to reviewing it, and 
  also a motion to pass it.  Tried to look into past history to see what was 
  recorded.  Chuck noted that some of the include file changes are not in the 
  latest draft.  Abi noted that they were not in the include file in the proposal.  
  Chas pointed out the original minutes were lost due to a browser crash and
  he had to rewrite them from memory.  Unfortunately, the minutes lack 
  enough detail.  Should we approve the minutes?  Best we got at this point.
    Jim/Chuck.  ACCEPTED

4. Liaisons

  - Chas commented on the last P1800 meeting
    Voted to delay going to ballot due to the Mentor patent issue.
    Neil pointed out that Item 2226 implementation had still not been
    reviewed.

  - Francoise commented on the DASC meeting
    The patent issue was discussed there as well.

  - No other meetings to report on.

5. Consent Agenda

6. Expedited Agenda Items

7. New business

• Item 2226

   Chuck has tried to do some review of Item 2226.  John also looked at it some
   too, but is concerned that he may miss details.  Chuck asked if we should roll
   some of the include file issues into comments back to the editor.  Abi pointed
   out that they were missing from the proposal, so we cannot blame Stu.  John
   pointed out that common sense wise, we should ask him to put it in, regardless
   of where the error came in.  Jim suggested that we pass a motion to ask the
   P1800 committee to allow a new proposal to handle the header file issue.  Chas
   thinks there is no harm in creating such a proposal.  Abi and Chuck will work on
   such a proposal.  John will review and mark as closed or send back to the editor.
   Chas will also review.  Chuck will look to see if there is a record of his last review
   of it.

• Issues in the sv_vpi_user.h file

  There was a discussion on how to go about verifying the include file.  It is a fairly
  complicated process.  Discussion on what to do with the range from 800-899.
  The reader API in 1800-2005 used up to 874.  John suggested that we just
  excise the term 'Data Read API' from the include file only.  

• Next meeting

  We will meet in two weeks to review Abi and Chuck's include file proposal.

Motion to adjourn: Jim/Abi. Meeting ended at 12:55 pm.
