6          Editing Update 

The second preliminary draft has been released and a few comments have
come in.  Stu is not certain if the subcommittees are closing out
completed items or not.

Neil says there are 42 items in the completed stage.  They have been put
into the draft but they have not been closed in Mantis and we need to
have those states updated in Mantis.  Neil will work with subcommittee
chairs to have the status fields updated.

We have options where we can wait until 30 July 2009 when all edits are
final or we can give conditional approval without a meeting.    A straw
poll showed most would prefer a meeting in one week, but that was by a
narrow margin for others seeking the next meeting to be in two weeks.  

The final draft should be out in two forms, one as a marked-up copy and
one a clean copy.  Those two drafts will be made ready the evening of 28
July 2009.  To make that date, all feedback must be done by 8 a.m. PDT
on 27 July 2009 by subcommittee people.   

7          Balloting Update 

Michael Kippness is reviewing the ballot resolution committee
spreadsheet report on resolutions of all issues to confirm it conforms
to IEEE SA norms for such reports.  Michael noted that many of the
resolutions are rather detailed.  There was agreement with that
statement.

8          DAC

Chair Pieper said we will see everyone there.  The SystemVerilog update
talk by Stu & Cliff hosted by Accellera is 1:30 p.m. for one hour on 28
July 2009.  See www.accellera.org/events for information on how to
attend this event.

9          P1800 technical committees and Champions operational update

One technical issue that was address that needs to be discussed and
approved and that is Mantis 2582. There is a duplicate diagram and it is
being removed as part of this issue.  It is incorrect in any event, so
it should be removed.  

 

A motion was made (Neil Korpusik, Charles Dawson) to approve the
resolution to Matics 2582.   The motion passed unanimously. 

 

Neil confirmed that the resolution of this issue is already part of the
ballot review committee package that was prepared for recirculation.  

 

11        New business

A list of issues from a non-ballot pool member was sent to the
committee.  Those issues will be cataloged in Mantis and may be
addressed at a later date.  Chair Pieper will reply to the entity that
submitted them to let them know of this.
