The question to the group was posed who would be interested in a General
or Specific PAR. The poll yielded the following: General (Intel, Sun,
Blue Spec, Freescale, and Synopsys) Specific (Mentor) Abstain (Marvell)

While the consensus was to go with a General PAR, the work will be
limited with a Scope document.

The group concluded the DASC will be the sponsor. The details of the
PAR discussion are cataloged in the PAR that can be found at the link
