Dennis relinquished chair position to Karen Pieper. 5 Funding, Budgeting, and Financial Update No issue. 6 Editing Update The preliminary draft 9 of the LRM was posted to eda.org and grouper.ieee.org. Editing is expected to be done for the final items by the end of next week. Shalom said that there were some ballot comments that were sent to the editor instead of the technical sub-committees (ballot comments 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 18, 22, 71, 124, 128, and 136) and no Mantis item was opened for these. He verified the corrections of these problems are in Draft 9, and that they are correct there. Stu did send a marked up copy of the ballot items list that have been implemented in draft 9. There were a large number of items not highlighted since they will be approved today and some other items that require no editing. Stu asked who was keeping the master list of ballot items current. And details of that were discussed. From the checking that has been done and the reports from the subgroup chairs, we appear to be done. That is, we have completed the work or that remaining will be approved today. 7 Balloting Update Ballot reslution is almost complete. 8 Schedule Status Update * June 15, 2009 SV-*C complete ballot feedback * June 17, 2009 Wednesday Teleconference at 8am continuing the May 28 meeting * July 2, 2009 Teleconference 8am * -------------- P1800 approval of content of recirculation draft * July 13, 2009 Recirculation pre-draft available * July 20, 2009 Review of the recirculation draft complete--only editing issues allowed * July 27, 2009 Recirculation draft available * July 30, 2009 Teleconference 8am * -------------- P1800 approval of the recirculation draft * July 31, 2009 Submission deadline for IEEE Standards Board Meeting 9/9-11 * September 9-11, 2009 IEEE Standards Board Meeting, Piscataway, NJ * August 3, 2009 Recirculation ballot starts * August 17, 2009 Recirculation ballot closes * August 27, 2009 Teleconference 8am * -------------- P1800 approval of standard if no additional recirculations required * October 19, 2009 Submission deadline for IEEE Standards Board Meeting 12/7-9 * December 7-9, 2009 IEEE Standards Board Meeting, Piscataway, NJ * December 15, 2009 Initiate press release to announce IEEE-SA Approval * March 30, 2010 Initiate press release to announce Publication available 9 P1800 technical committees and Champions operational update There was a meeting on Monday of all the Champions except for Neil Korpusik. All issues were passed unanimously. The 65 issues can be found here <http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ieee1800/hm/att-0874/SV-P1800-07012009.xls> . 35 of them require LRM edits. A motion (Dennis Brophy, Neil Korpusik) was made to approve the list of 65 issues. The motion passed unanimously. There was a question about the ballot items that were suspended or left open given no time and/or being out of scope for the standard. The recommendation is to not close out those issues so they can be easily held over to the next version of the standard. The ballot items set by the working group to be suspended will be returned to the Mantis feedback status for committees to deal with at a later date for a revision standard. This will ensure those comments are not dropped from future consideration. Stu will be adding the items we approved today to the draft LRM. The edits will be done by 13 July 2009 and that recirculation draft will be posted with a one week review period for working group review. This meeting should then be suspended so that on 23 July 2009 the working group can approve moving the draft to the IEEE to conduct the recirculation ballot. 10 DAC Stu and Cliff have a one hour slot to give an update on SystemVerilog. There has been one small announcement was sent out about this SystemVerilog 2009 update report at DAC. It was asked if the invitation distribution could be broaden and a call to attend the meeting be sent to all DAC attendees? Yatin will contact Georgia to see if DAC would do us a favor to send this out to attendees. It was noted that DAC would probably not do this. Cliff will contact Cooley to see if he will alert his members. 11 New business There were some issues on a vote recently conducted in a working group. Do you count the chair or not when a vote is taken? Are proxy votes allowed? What happens when someone abstains? It is eligible voters present? For close votes, voting is contentious. Chair Pieper has asked Neil Korpusik to draft a straw man update to the voting procedures so it is well understood what happens in close votes. 12 Next meeting (announce date, time, and location, if known) 23 July 2009 P1800 BRC Continuation Meeting Teleconference 8 a.m. PDT 13 Adjournment A motion (Dennis Brophy, Yatin Trivedi) made to suspend the meeting until 23 July 2009 at 8 a.m. PDT.
