Neil Korpusik presented a slide presentation on the status of the
technical committees and operating guidelines and procedures update.
The presentation is included by reference as part of the meeting
minutes. 

 

Updated Guidelines:
http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/May/OpGuidelines_05_07
.pdf. 

 

A motion was made (Charles Dawson, Neil Korpusik) was made to accept the
changes presented.  The motion passed unanimously. 

 

ACTION REQUEST [Neil Korpusik]: Neil will inform the committees that the
voting rules have changed.

 

Mantis has had several updates since we first put it on eda.org.  Dave
Rich is bringing the newest version of Mantis online.  It is more
customizable and we can now leave issues with a committee even when it
moves to and editor.  You can do this without bumping it back and forth.
This is nice since the technical chair does not need to bump the items
back and forth.  

 

a.  Committee operation and voting procedure update

b.  SV-AC, SV-BC, SV-EC, SV-CC and SV-XC

 

9          Discuss Release of the P1800 draft for sale by the IEEE

It was discussed that Stu would create Draft 3a that would have the
crossed out text removed.  It will have minor editing request received
today.  It will be made available for sale by the IEEE for non-committee
participants.

 

A motion (Dennis Brophy, Mehdi Mohtashemi) that Draft 3a be made
available to the IEEE for publication and Stu will remove crossed out
text and make minor editing in this draft.  The motion passed
unanimously.
