6 DVCon Face-to-Face to discuss proposals for the next revision

The meeting will be from 8:00 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Mentor Graphics San Jose,
CA office.

An announcement of the all day meeting will be sent out. Anyone who
wishes to speak will need to register in advance. Many people beyond
our committee have already expressed an interest to speak.

Dennis will request meeting RSVP that will include any dietary
restriction requirements.

Karen will create the agenda and collect the list of speakers that want
to present. The presentations will be at the beginning of the meeting
and discussion will be held in the afternoon.

The deadline for declaring someone wants to do a presentation is 10
February 2010. Presenters will not have to submit their presentations
in advance of the meeting, but for those who have completed
presentations, they can upload them early. Karen needs slides for
review by 12 February 2010. For those who will speak, a title and an
abstract are required, also due on 10 February 2010.

7 Press releases

Dennis will meeting next week with Karen McCabe to review the press
release proposal. For this release, there will be a quote from 1800
chair, Karen Pieper and 1800 vice-chair, Neil Korpusik as he headed up
the technical groups.

The six voting members did not dissent from reviewing the press release
for their comments so a press release would go out a few weeks before
DVCon and also mention the face-to-face meeting to launch the next
revision of the standard.

8 Schedule Status Update

* February 11, 2010 Teleconference 8am
* February 26, 2010 Face-to-Face inviting proposals for the next
revision
* Thursday at the end of March. (Karen will pick a date.)

9 Discussion of new PAR

The face-to-face meeting will allow us to know what might go into the
next standard and then be used to establish the PAR. Therefore there
was no discussion on this topic.

10 P1800 technical committees and Champions operational update

None.

11 New Business

There were some corrections to the second draft that were given to the
IEEE Editor. All the last corrections were implemented. However, Dave
Rich found that somehow that in the last editing, there was a subclause
numbering in Annex H that got messed up in the middle of it. The
numbering issue was corrected and a copy sent to Shalom with the fix.
The TOC was not regenerated and the numbering is still wrong there.

Dave Rich will verify if this is still a problem and send email to
Karen, Neil, Dennis and Shalom about what he finds.

12 Next meeting (announce date, time, and location, if known)

A motion (Charles Dawson) was made to adjourn the meeting. The end of
the agenda being reached, no second was needed and the meeting adjourned
