[sv-ac] RE: SystemVerilog Draft4.0 access

John, Bassam,

I decided to grant you access to the drafts and got clearance for this 
exception from the IEEE. I will send you the link and password for 
downloading Draft4.0 of P1800 SystemVerilog directly to your email 
accounts.

Regards,

--- Johny.

RE: [sv-ac] FW: P1800 AC issues





Hi All,

I've seen this thread on sv-ac and as it's becoming an issue, I decided to 
send a clarification note to all.

First, I'd like to provide some background to this: A note titled 
"SystemVerilog (P1800) and Verilog (P1364) Draft Documents Available" was 
sent on 1/17 to all technical committees to notify that documents for 
SystemVerilog and Verilog were available for download and review under 
eda.org. It explained that in order to keep w/ IEEE-SA staff directives to 
protect the IP rights of the IEEE, these draft documents are password  and 
a password was sent to the WG DR. It also mentioned that if an entity is 
not an IEEE-SA Corporate member that has membership credentials in the 
SystemVerilog Working Group, it will need to make a request to the chair 
(myself), so that I can check a possible exemption for this policy.

At this stage of the process, I must also check w/ IEEE on exceptions that 
I decide to make (i.e. after I am convinced an exception should be made).

In this case, as Freescale and Novas are part of the issues resolution 
committee (and both have been active contributing members of sv-ac for a 
long time), I see a good reason why John and Bassam need to have access to 
the draft. Having said that, I still need to check w/ IEEE and get 
clearance for this. 

I'll get back to you on this.

Regards,

--- Johny.

RE: [sv-ac] FW: P1800 AC issues






Ed, FYI, I (suspect also John) don't even have D4, D3 was the last
"distributed" LRM as far as I know. 

I don't want to make a big deal out of this (so please no far-reaching
emails), but just in case anyone is in the same boat as I, there seems to 
be
an issue with getting the LRM if you're not on IEEE-SA. I've put a tracer 
on
this (request to Johny/Karen), also Novas is trying to get the LRM through
Accellera (itself an IEEE-SA entity, Dennis working on this I believe), 
but
apparently we can purchase a copy from IEEE (tracking this...). 

** I promise to share the info with all if you're not a member (individual
or company) of IEEE-SA. If you are then no prob just get in touch with 
your
DR.

Thx.
-Bassam.

Actually that is a good question because i have D4 only, it is not the 
last
I believe. Perhaps Faisal or Karen can help.
