Member DRs Present: Dennis Brophy (Mentor Graphics, DR) Swami Venkat (Synopsys, DR) Matt Maidment (Intel, DR) Charles Dawson (Cadence, DR) Neil Korpusik (Sun Microsystems, DR) Karen Pieper (Accellera, DR) Member DRAs Present: Dave Rich (Mentor Graphics, DRA) Observers: Cliff Cummings (Sunburst Design, Observer) Stu Sutherland (Sutherland HDL, Observer) Shalom Bresticker (Intel, Observer) 2 APPROVE AGENDA A motion (Dennis Brophy, Neil Korpusik) was made to approve the agenda. The motion passed unanimously. 3 CALL FOR PATENTS Chair Pieper read the patent slides. See: http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt 4 APPROVAL OF 20 FEBRUARY 2007 MEETING MINUTES A motion (Charles Dawson, Neil Korpusik) was made to approve the 20 February 2007 meeting minutes. The motion passed unanimously. 5 FUNDING, BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL UPDATE a) IEEE services contract has come. There was agreement and it was exactly the expenditures we contracted. The IEEE will soon invoice Accellera for the committee for the participation fee and first installment of other services. 6 EDITING UPDATE Preliminary merged draft was delivered 4 weeks ago. Most of the committees were able to review it. We were going to determine if we should continue to merge or go back to two documents. There were numerous small things not done, but they will be done once the go/no-go decision is made. This would be the draft that would be made available to the general public. The feedback was initially requested to ensure the editor had taken the text from all the correct clauses. However, feedback has come in on real missing text that needs to be in place to ensure the reading of the standard is correct. ACTION REQUEST [Karen Pieper]: Karen will contact the IEEE to determine the last date we need to get the PDF to the IEEE for publication of the first merged draft specification. ACTION REQUEST [Neil Korpusik]: Neil will get approval from the EC, AC and BC to work on the merged draft rather than on the two separate documents. The CC committee has already voted to continue work on the merged document rather than the two. We stay on the merged course. And we will discuss more details on this when the meeting reconvenes. 7 SCHEDULE STATUS UPDATE The following schedule was discussed and is the operation plan for the working group. Dates will be updated from information that Karen will supply based on discussion to suspend meeting.

For the SV-AC, 5 Mantis items were resolved. And several Mantis items are spilling over into other committees. This is creating the need for more cross committee collaboration and coordination. In the case of SV-AC, the question was asked if we should give them feedback on the enhancements they are contemplating. Neil said there seems to be a rather large number of enhancements that are being made and the motivation for them is not really provided. We should ask the SV-AC to provide impact statements for each of the Mantis items that are enhancements. In addition to that documented in the presentation above, the SV-CC spent time on Mantis item 890 and the merged document as well. The SV-CC is working on some large issues, like compatibility issues. They have had two meetings and addressed several Mantis issues since the last face-to-face P1800 WG meeting. In order to address Mantis item 890 quickly, the working group did not object to having Karen and Neil direct them to move at a double rate. This would allow us to suspend this meeting and resume again on 24 April 2007 to approve the results of this work. 8.5 CO-CHAIR OF THE CHAMPIONS COMMITTEE Tom Fitzpatrick has been inactive as the champions' committee chair and has suggest Neil appoint a new co-chair. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Charles Dawson) was made to appoint Dave Rich as co-chair of the champions committee. The motion passed unanimously. 9 NEXT MEETING (ANNOUNCE DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION, IF KNOWN) 4/24 Meeting Resumption 9 a.m. PDT 5/24 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 6/28 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 8/23 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 11 ADJOURNMENT A motion (Dennis Brophy, Neil Korpusik) was made to suspend the meeting until 24 April 2007 at 8 a.m. PDT to permit the SV-EC time to complete Mantis item 890 and allow for review by other committees.
