Download Patent Slide set (PowerPoint) <http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt> There was a question from Alec if there are patent protection issues with the deprecated PLI in 1364.

We are at 85% approval. Johny and Karen met with Infineon to discuss all the unresolved negative issues. Wolfgang understood why the issues were addressed in this manner; he understood why they were kept as is. Before the end of the recirculation ballot, he was reminded if he wanted to change his vote; he had to recast a vote. This was not done. There is no response from Wolfgang why he maintained his negative vote. On P1364, 11 affirmative and 1 negative vote out of 12. The negative was Fintronic. Alec voted against the deprecation of an item in 1364 - PLI. Alec notes that this is what the technical group wanted, while most groups give users one version notice that something will be deprecated. 8 Recirculation Ballot Issues Download Issues List <http://www.eda-twiki.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2005/July/reballot_05_07_08.htm> Download Champions Meeting Minutes <http://www.eda-twiki.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2005/July/sv-champ_05_07_08.txt> There negative ballot issue wrt to mantis 794, was discussed and there was no dissention on the conclusion of the issue. A motion (Stu, Neil) was made to approve the proposed resolution to the scheduling algorithm as noted in mantis 794 with the addition of the arrow. The motion passed unanimously. A note on the use of "us" and "µs" was proposed. ACTION REQUEST [Noelle Humenick]: Run the proposed changes by SCC 14 for their prior approval. Noelle will report back by Friday. A motion (Karen, Stu) was made to approve the "us" / "mu" note. The motion passed unanimously. There was an error in a few of the examples. A motion (Karen, Stu) was made to approve the change to the examples. The motion passed unanimously. A motion (Karen, Stu) was made to accept the proposed changes for the fork/join issue. A motion (Karen, Stu) was made to accept the proposed changes for "us" / "mu." The only issue for 1364 is the "ms" / "mu" issue which we believe is editorial. If the issues can be handled by editorial staff, then no recirculation may be needed. Noelle will get an answer to this by Friday on if SCC 14 will agree this change is editorial. 9 Review, Modification & Tracking of P1800 WG schedule Download Schedule <http://www.eda-twiki.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2005/July/P1800_Schedule_v19.htm> Noelle proposes that Stu complete the work on 13 July 2005.
