RE: Call for nomination

Johny,

After the P1800 meeting I discussed the decision to move the SV errata
data base from Accellera to IEEE and to nominate a leader for this
activity. This discussion brought up a number of issues that need to be
resolved which I think is why Jay is uncomfortable nominating someone
for this job.

Most of these issues are around the merging and preserving information
that is currently in the P1364 data base. It seemed like at the P1800
meeting we were assuming that all the relevant data was already in the
Accellera data base, or that it could be entered there quickly. The
people working on the technical sub groups indicated that there was a
lot of data in the P1364 data base that is relevant to 3.1a as well as
1364 since the groups had been working on resolving consistency issues
for some time. Also, this data includes audit trails which are
important in tracing the discussions leading to decision points and
should not get lost.

So it was not clear if it makes sense to transfer this data to the
Accellera data base and then transfer it back to IEEE. I think we need a
more comprehensive plan to do the integration and decide where and when
this work will get done.

Regards,

 Victor

I want one person to come to P1800 and present the collective Errata
from all 4 sub-committees. He will bring the recommendations which will
be ratified in the P1800 WG.

I suggest that you talk to Victor Berman from Cadence regarding this as
he was present in the meeting where we discussed this.

Thanks,

--- Johny.

Johny,

I personally find it difficult to nominate individuals for a position
that does not as yet have a definition.

What are the responsibilities of this position?

As you know, within the SystemVerilog world in Accellera we really have
4 erratta committees; design, testbench, assertions, and 'C' interfaces.

Why aren't we preserving each of these 4 groups instead of having one
erratta group which will in turn then be hierarchical?

Jay

Subject: Call for nomination

Dear Colleague:

According to our F2F meeting minutes on July 1st, the following motion
was made: "Move Accellera SystemVerilog technical subcommittees to IEEE
P1800 Errata Technical Sub-Working Group". This motion was unanimously
approved.

This was followed by a motion to temporarily appoint Vassilios Gerousis
as the chair of the Errata Technical Sub-Working Group. As a chair of
the P1800 WG, I got the action item to initiate the process of a call
for nominations for the permanent Errata Technical Sub-Working Group
Chair. This motion was unanimously approved.

Therefore, I am sending this note to initiate the call for nominations
for the permanent Errata Technical Sub-Working Group Chair. Please send
me your nominations within 14 days (by July the 22nd at the latest).
Once nominations are done, I will initiate the voting process which will
also last for 14 days.

Please send me your nominations directly to my account.

Thanks for your cooperation,

--- Johny.
