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.

A motion was made (Dennis Brophy, Victor Berman) to approve the PAR as presented to the group and to work with Mary Lynne Nielsen at the IEEE to list the contact information for sponsoring society or standards coordinating committees correctly. The motion passed unanimously. g. [AI- Victor and Dennis] Report back to the group when this meeting resumes with a status on the funding for the merged document Victor presented the budget that he and Dennis discussed. From discussions with Stu, and confirmed in this meeting, the cost to merge 1364 and 1800 documents would be $30K. Additional editing would be needed for changes we make to the standard. And with the ballot, there would also be changes. The estimate is the cost would be $50K - $60K. A baseline contract with the IEEE would be about $45K for project management fees. Overall, the estimate is about $100K over two years of the project. If 7 companies participating at $7K/year, we would be near the $100K projected cost. It is suggested that the following fee structure be assessed: i. Companies with revenue greater than $100M pay $7K. ii. Accellera pays $7K. iii. Companies with revenue greater than $10M but less than $100M pay $5K. iv. Companies with revenue less than $10M pay zero. A motion was made (Dennis Brophy, Victor Berman) to approve the budget has outlined here and to contact Lynn Horobin to invoice these fees for payment to the IEEE. The motion passed unanimously. 3. There being no other business before the committee, the meeting adjourned at 9:25 am PDT.Received on Tue May 23 08:45:53 2006
