His report can be found at http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/hm/att-0857/committees052809.pdf. Neil also shared with the committee a full Mantis list <http://www.eda-stds.org/pub/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2009/May/mantis_1800_0 52809.txt> of issues being addressed and a resolution status list <http://www.eda-stds.org/pub/sv-ieee1800/Meetings/2009/May/ballot_must_f ix> that shows some items have not yet been addressed. There are 14 Mantis items still open for the SV-BC. The SV-CC has 28 Mantis items in the resolved state. According to Charles, all the SV-CC work has been sent to the Champions and two were returned to the SV-CC to be addressed. The SV-EC has processed 80 ballot comments. There are 20 Mantis items that require more work. About half are trivial. Mantis 2380 should really be resolved and not deferred as there appears to be a contradiction that is not a corner case. Consensus is developing, but not there yet. At least a week of time is needed to close on this issue. The Champions meeting passed all but 4 issues brought to it due to a lack of consensus on the resolution to those 4 issues. Due to the unresolved issues that remain outstanding, the proposal is to give the committee two more weeks to finish what they need to finish. If we go with an extension to 6/15 (Monday) for all the committees, this gives all committees 3 more meetings. The BRC plans to suspend this meeting and start again on 17 June 2009 to check resolution completeness by the committees. The Champions package should then be ready by 6/19. Dave Rich will prepare this package. The Champions then meet on 6/29. The BRC would meet on 7/2. The editor will have the final recirculation draft by 7/13 at the latest. A motion (Neil Korpusik, Charles Dawson) was made to accept the recommendations from the Champions group that was in today's report. 10 DAC Stu and Cliff can have a one hour update on SystemVerilog 2009 at DAC. Lynn has said the room is open and will set aside time. The preferred start time is 2pm. Yatin will work with Stu to close on this with Lynn. 11 NEW BUSINESS None. 12 Next meeting (announce date, time, and location, if known) 2 July 2009 P1800 BRC Meeting Teleconference 8 a.m. PDT 14 Adjournment A motion (Dennis Brophy, Yatin Trivedi) was made to suspend the meeting until 17 June 2009 at 8:00 a.m. PDT. The motion passed unanimously.
