Here are the revised minutes from feedback I got from Alec, Neil and John H and Karen P. -Dennis ________________________________ IEEE P1800 SystemVerilog Working Group UNAPPROVED MINUTES 04 October 2007 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. PDT Teleconference 1 CALL TO ORDER - INTRODUCTIONS & AFFILIATIONS The meeting was called to order at 8:04 a.m. PDT. Member DRs/DRAs 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: None Observers: Stu Sutherland (Sutherland HDL & Project Editor) John Havlicek (Freescale & Chair SV-AC) Alec Stanculescu (Fintronic USA) Shalom Bresticker (Intel) 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 provided the location for the IEEE patent slides. See: http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt Chair Pieper asked that all have heard, read and understood the policy. All have read and understand the slides. 4 Editing update Numerous editorial and technical changes were made for draft 4. 54 Mantis items were incorporated into the draft. Many of the updates come from 24 corrections that JEITA reported need to be made. Changes in the draft are denoted with change bars and alert the read if they came from Mantis items or from editorial review. In addition, over 200 additional editorial changes were made, which mainly came from Shalom. Stu needs updates to any draft schedule changes to accommodate his schedule. Stu is also working on the Verilog AMS draft and needs to coordinate with that group. Now that we have D4, there are many Mantis items that have approval by the committees. Do these need to be against D4 or can they be against D3 was a question from Stu. They may be against D3 for most cases. It is noted that Mantis 1674 is in, but if Mantis 1648 does not get approved, the LRM will need modification. John says 1648 (disable iff) was approved but rejected by champions. The champions are waiting for feedback from other committees on 1648. Stu's concern is that lack of 1648 approval will require some editing for D5. This is the only item that has this issue at this time. D The IEEE should be contracting Stu to ensure there is a contract transfer. There appears to be no issue with this at the moment. Stu plans to create a clean version of D4 with all the deletions removed and many of the margin notes deleted. This will be posted to the download sites when available. 5 APPROVAL OF 30 AUGUST 2007 MEETING MINUTES Approval of the minutes is deferred to the next meeting. 6 FUNDING, BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL UPDATE The current outstanding invoices are for editing. This will be paid by Accellera with the balance given to the IEEE. The fees collected and transferred to the IEEE can be used to pay any January or March invoices for editing. NOTE: After review of the schedule, we moved to other items of business which may have had an impact on specific dates mentioned below. We moved out the schedule in these additional items but did not return to the information below to make further adjustments. The amount of time to complete each task remains the same, but the dates will move out based on the adjustment we made to the feature freeze date.

Technical committee Update Committee reports can be found at: http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/October/committees1004 07.pdf http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/October/jeita.txt http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/October/mantis_1800_09 05.txt http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2007/October/schedule_10040 7.txt The AC wants to extend the feature freeze date to the end of February. And the BC wants development time extended to 12/15. Charles says the CC needs one month beyond the BC, which means a cutoff of 1/15. John Havlicek updated us on near-term issues that are under consideration in the AC. Plus he updated on some of the more complex issues that are important to the AC. It is recognized the issues are not easy to solve, but are important to be solved. Convincing arguments are being made to address the issues. Details on the issues are in the reports above. In summary, more time is needed. The SV WG discussed how to give more time and concluded with the following two motions. A motion was made (Dennis Brophy, Charles Dawson) to change the schedule to: The SV-* committees must make lists by 2007-11-12 (date revised according to suggestion by Matt) of all the Mantis items that will be worked on during the extension periods. The expectation was that any item on the list of a committee must actually be in Mantis by that deadline. After the 2007-11-12 deadline, the committees are restricted in the kinds of items not on their lists that can be addressed. E.g., SV-BC and SV-EC may work on merge, editing, and Champions issues. On 2/15 the SV-CC must complete all items from its Mantis list. Past this date they are only authorized to work on merge, editing and champions issues. On 2/28 the SV-AC freezes. It does not get leeway for merge, editing and champions issues. The motion passed unanimously. Action Request [Karen Pieper]: Update Schedule and broadcast to teams. A motion was made (Matt Maidment, Dennis Brophy) to move the freeze date from 11/15 to 11/12 to accommodate the next SV WG meeting. The motion passed unanimously. A motion was made (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) to pass the 21 Mantis items passed unanimously by the champions in their email ballot. The motion passed unanimously. b. JEITA issues update & 2005 ballot issues updates The SV-BC has them on their list to be dealt with. The BC has one to close. That leaves 3 in the AC and 2 in the CC. From the AC, one of the items (Mantis 1833) is related to the glitch item (Mantis 2005). The solution to Mantis 2005 will most likely address Mantis 1833. From SV-CC, 1834 is closed and 1855 is open. They are being tracked by the committee. Neil provided an overall status report for all technical committees and the report has been included by reference into the minutes of the meeting above. 8 NEW BUSINESS None. 11 NEXT MEETING (ANNOUNCE DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION, IF KNOWN) 11/15 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 12/20 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 2/14 Teleconference 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. PDT 9 ADJOURNMENT A motion (Neil Korpusik, Charles Dawson) was made to adjourn the meeting.
