A) Potential Accellera changes

It was noted by Chair Pieper that Accellera was moving to the IEEE for
collections and payments on the services needed for the project.
Progress to complete this is going.

 

6          EDITING UPDATE

No new edits since D3.  D4 will start at the conclusion of this meeting.
That draft should be ready on or before the deadline.

 

7          SCHEDULE STATUS UPDATE

The rate of incoming Mantis items is greater than Mantis items being
closed which suggests that the schedule may not be able to be made.  We
have another meeting scheduled for 10/4 where we can checkpoint
progress.  We will attempt to keep to the current schedule and hold more
meetings if there is more content that needs to get in.  

 

We need a plan from the subcommittees as to how they can get to the
November end date.  Neil will work with the committees to get a plan
from them on what issues they will address and what they complete by
11/15.  We will review this feedback at our 10/4 meeting.  By September
21st we want to mail the 1800 mailing list the schedule and content
expected by each of the committees by the 11/15 freeze date.  We will
discuss the outcome of that planning at the 10/4 meeting.
