4.  Approval of the April 3, 2006 telecom meeting minutes.
	Stu moves to approve the minutes of the April 3, 2006 Telecom
meeting.  Yossi seconds.  Approved unanimously.

5.  Review and Approval of PAR
	Yossi moves to approve the PAR.  Steve seconds.  
	Dennis noticed that item 10, the Sponsoring Society and
Committee, is currently set as AES.  Dennis believes it should be the
CAG.
	Stu noticed in item 15, yes is checked for copyrights and
trademarks.  There is no text written to support the yes, and we are not
aware of any copyrights or trademarks coming, so we think it may need to
be marked "no".

	Karen proposes a friendly amendment to Yossi's motion asking
Johny to check and correct the Sponsoring Society and Committee
appropriately in item 10, and to update item 15 as necessary, including
the notation of the Verilog trademark.

	Yossi withdraws his motion to give Johny an opportunity to
address these issues.

	
[AI - Johny] Johny to update item 10 to reflect the CAG as the
Sponsoring Society and Committee
[AI - Johny] Johny to update item 15 to address the copyright and
trademark issues in the application

[AI - Dennis] Increase the WG email outgoing size so that the PAR can be
mailed to the WG.

	Dennis read the text box in item 16.

[AI- Johny] Johny to modify 16 to include IEEE 1666 SystemC Standard.

[AI- Johny] Johny to verify and update the contact person for IEC TC93
WG2

	We discussed the text in item 14, and no objections were raised.

6.  New Business:  Funding of the merged document
	
	Yossi raised the issue that we are losing time because we are
not beginning to work on the merge of the documents.

[AI- Victor and Dennis] Report back to the group when this meeting
resumes with a status on the funding for the merged document
