LoAs:

1. IBM-Srouji working with attorneys. Good progress. Chuck Adams is in the loop on this.

2. Mentor Graphics-Brophy still working to schedule meeting with attorneys. The meeting is expected and resolution to be in place prior to RevCom meeting.

3. Cadence-Victor not in attendance, no update.


6          Summary of P1800 D6 recirculation ballot results

 

Ballot results:13 approve, 1 disapprove. No new comments were submitted during the recirculation. The document is now ready to be submitted to RevCom. Chair Srouji did reach out to the disapproving entity one last time to solicit any final comments or actions that might cause that entity to change their vote to approve. The disapproving entity did not submit any new comments on this recirculation ballot.



7          Review, Modification & Tracking of P1800 WG schedule 

 

P1800 RevCom submittal package is to be put together next week. P1364 RevCom submittal will be created by Tom Fitzpatrick with Andy's assistance. Noelle explained the publication process--this will involve the IEEE editor and Stu. Press release will be issued upon approval of the standard. Work will begin on this in mid-August.


8        New business 

 

Karen raised the issue of what to tell the subgroups about next steps. Johny advised that this information will be forthcoming after the approval of the standard. At the September meeting this and other issues will be brought to the table in discussing the next revision of the standard. Sub-group should remain on hiatus until the next revision is under way, with the understanding that the standard is now frozen and so no changes can be made. Oz commented that if a major issue arises, common sense should prevail and the issue be addressed.
