Results of OVA Donation vote:
Accept: Intel, Motorola, Novas, Real Intent, Sun, Synopsys
Oppose: Cadence, Verplex, IBM, 0-in

OVA Donation has been accepted.

FH: What items need to be discussed at the next meeting?
TF: The requirements voting results will be available on Monday.
FH: Can we make SV-AC a monthly meeting from now on?
AK: What are the requirements going to be used for?
FH: The DWG will try to ensure that the LRM meets the requirements.
EM: This may be in conflict with the specified schedule.
SM: Let's use the number of votes to prioritize the requirements. We should
work on requirements in this order, and those that can't be addressed in
time to meet the schedule, they should be dropped.
AK: Unless there is not enough functionality.
TF: The SV-AC must still approve the work of the DWG.
SM: If that's the case, then we need to discuss what to do.
FH: It is likely that we may need to make tradeoff decisions on the
lower-priority requirements.
EM: We will draw on OVA and PSL as resources. VG will drive the
synchronization between the two, both in functionality and in time. There is
no explicit requirement that the assertion language must be coherent,
consistent and complete, and this will be a serious concern. For example,
there are significant clocking semantic issues that will need to be
addressed.
FH: We will note this concern and address it.
EM: This is the next topic in the DWG. We will see if there is a resolution
possible on clocking semantics.
JH: I have not yet seen the formal definition of OVA as part of the
donation. Those semantics must be provided in order to make progress.
SM: These will be available at the end of the week.
AK: Will the problem with false-firings in 3.0 be addressed?
TF: The current voting indicates that this will be an important requirement.

FH: Propose that we meet next month (11/7) to discuss requirements and
review DWG progress.
TF: I'll be on vacation. Can we make it 10/31?

Next meeting: Thursday, October 31, 2002.
              9-11am PST
        Call-in information to be provided prior to the meeting.

Thanks,
-Tom
