Member DRs/DRAs Present: Dennis Brophy (Mentor Graphics, DR) Mehdi Mohtashemi (Synopsys, DR) Shalom Bresticker (Intel, DRA) Charles Dawson (Cadence, DR) Neil Korpusik (Sun Microsystems, DR) Karen Pieper (Accellera, DR) Member DRAs Present: Dave Rich (Mentor) Observers: Stu Sutherland (Sutherland HDL - Editor) 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 IEEE patent slides. See: http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt Chair Pieper directed the group's attention to the URL for the patent policy. 4 Approval of the March 27, 2008 Meeting Minutes The minutes did not get sent out of the reflector in advance of the meeting. A resend during the meeting did make it out. Approval of the minutes will be done at the next meeting. 5 Funding, Budgeting, and Financial Update Update on invoicing Chair Pieper reviewed the budget and indicated we would have about $2K spare in the budget at the end of the year. The question was do we want to allocate more than the $6K budgeted since this is the 2009 assessment. Since many members have new budget cycles that begin in mid-2008, we cannot wait until next year to adjust the amount. We will keep with the $1.1K now and $6K next year after committee discussion. 6 Editing update The new drafts are up with bookmarks missing. They will be reposted with the bookmarks working again. Dennis will talk to Stu about having him generate the encrypted versions of the drafts. 7 Schedule Status Update Karen updated some of these details during the meeting.

There were 8 Mantis items resolved since the last meeting. There was one Mantis item, 1503, that was identified as needing attention. The status for the AC, the 2110 should have read no to allow concurrent assertions in for loops. The results of voting on the Mantis items can be found at http://www.eda-stds.org/pub/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2008/May/mantis_1800_05 01.txt. Mr. Dovich was liaison for p1800 and the encryption group and a Mantis item, 2360, was added and may need to go to the SV-BC for resolution. P1800 should allow the SV-BC to work on this. A motion (Charles Dawson, Dennis Brophy) was made to allow the SV-BC to work on Mantis 2360. The motion was approved unanimously. On Mantis 2336, it should be listed as ready for P1800 approval. The special committee (SV-SC) was approved and meetings are underway. There is a face-to-face meeting schedule in the Bay Area. Status for the SV-SC is in Neil's presentation referenced above. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) was made to approve Erik Seligman as chair and Tom Thatcher as co-chair of the SV-SC. The motion was approved unanimously. The SV-BC status was presented. They are seeking permission to address 2374. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) was made to approve the SV-BC to work on this Mantis item. The motion was approve unanimously. The SV-CC status was discussed. There was no formal update supplied to Neil. Charles covered the status in the meeting. All the SV-AC issues were resolved by the deadline. There has been no meeting since. The next meeting will be next Wednesday. Mantis 2054 did pass, but it was not without controversy. The Champions did send one issue back to the SV-CC. All the outstanding issues will be addressed next Wednesday. For JEITA, John Shields owns the last item (Mantis 1835). He is working on it as it might get into the release. The change for 1835 is a straight-forward change. A motion (Dennis Brophy, Charles Dawson) was made to allow the SV-CC to work on 1835. The motion was approved unanimously. The SV-EC status was presented. There was only one meeting held. With the SV-SC going to weekly meetings meant there was scheduling issues with SV-EC meetings. The committees should start review of Draft 5 and not wait for feedback from other committees. The SV-XC is inactive. The Champions summary was presented. Status on the approved (unanimous and non-unanimous), returned, etc. was presented. 19 items were approved unanimously by the Champions committee. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) was made to approve the first 19 Mantis items that were unanimously approved by the Champions. The motion approved unanimously. Mantis 1698 from the SV-AC was discussed. After approval of 1698, 2370 was opened to address the concern of clock inference. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) was made to approve Mantis 1698. The motion approved unanimously. Mantis 2251 from the SV-BC was discussed. When the BC made the change for this issue, it was soon understood it was a larger issue. 2239 addresses the larger issue. Both issues should be addressed concurrently by a dissenter Champion voter. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Shalom Bresticker) was made to approve 2251. The motion approved unanimously. Mantis 1932 from the SV-AC was discussed. The original used the keyword "next" and was proposed to be changes to "nexttime" to avoid conflict with the use of next. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Mehdi Mohtashemi) was made to approve 1932. The motion approved unanimously. Mantis 1769 was discussed and it was noted it was contingently approved by the Champions if the committee addressed their issues. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Mehdi Mohtashemi) was made to approve 1769. The motion approved unanimously. The status of the JEITA Mantis items was discussed and the status can be found at http://www.eda-stds.org/pub/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2008/May/jeita_032708.t xt. 9 NEW BUSINESS None. 10 Next meeting (announce date, time, and location, if known) May 29, 2008 P1800 Meeting teleconference 8 a.m. PDT June 26, 2008 P1800 Meeting teleconference 8 a.m. PDT August 14, 2008 P1800 Meeting teleconference 8 a.m. PDT September 11, 2008 P1800 Meeting teleconference 8 a.m. PDT 12 Adjournment A motion (Neil Korpusik) was made to adjourn the meeting.
