The report can be found at http://www.eda-stds.org/pub/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2008/October/tc_status. 102308.txt. There are some unresolved issues. Mantis 2486 is an editorial issue. It seeks to move text and do some small edits. Mantis 2487 is not editorial. There are six lines of text and four lines of examples to take care of the issue. Due to LRM changes, these changes need to be made. They are not adding but removing contradictory. A motion was made (Neil Korpusik, <no second>) to approve the change. The motion fails due to the lack of a second. The SV-AC has not met since 19 August 2008. One of their items was in a review state. A motion was made (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) to close Mantis 2398. The motion passed unanimously. For the SV-BC there is one item in the editor state. For the SV-CC Mantis 2226 was the last one to be discussed and is in alignment with Draft 7 and incorporated into Draft 7a. For Mantis 2468 we are going to allow it to go forward as a ballot issue. An old one, Mantis 985 was approved by the WG contingent on some changes. It was overlooked and fell through the cracks. A motion was made (Charles Dawson, Neil Korpusik) was made to make the change in Mantis 985. The motion passed unanimously. For the SV-EC there are not open issues or meetings except for review. The SV-XC is also inactive. 11 DATE, DAC, DVCon The tutorial submitted by Dmitry was turned down by DATE. They submitted one to DVCon and will submit one to DAC as well. 12 NEW BUSINESS Neil got a list of all the names from all subgroups (except from Neil's subgroup) of contributors to the LRM from the beginning of the LRM development. Neil will send an email to all the contributors to ensure their name and affiliation is accurate. Creation of the sponsor ballot pool can take place asynchronous with the LRM development. Karen will seek 1800 email reflector members to sign-up and become an IEEE SA Entity member. 10 Next meeting (announce date, time, and location, if known) December 4, 2008 P1800 Meeting teleconference 8 a.m. PST 12 Adjournment A motion (Dennis Brophy) was made to adjourn the meeting.
