[vhdl-200x] Outcome of P1164 vote to merge with P1076

Dear colleagues,

The outcome of the vote within P1164 (VHDL standard logic) to merge with
P1076 (VHDL) was unanimously affirmative. The vote details are:

Number of eligible voters: 18
Number of votes received: 13 eligible, plus 2 ineligible

Affirmative: 13 (72% of members, 100% of voters)
Negative: none
Abstain: none
No return: 5

The ineligible returns were also affirmative.

Comments received:

  John Shields: This is a very good step forward for efficiency in
  maintaining and evolving VHDL.

  John Williams: I suggest that the 1164 package be included in
  1076 as an optional and normative package.
  I also suggest that the 1076 WG consider adding
  a normative Clause in 1076 dedicated to 1164,
  rather than adding an Annex on 1164 content.

Those voting were:

Peter Ashenden
Stephen Bailey
J. Bhasker
George Economakos
William Hanna
Jake Karrfalt
Jim Lewis
Timothy McBrayer
Bob Myers
Wolfgang Roethig
John Shields
Jose Torres
John Williams

I will now wotk with the P1976 Chair to merge the technical activities and
with the DASC-SC to dissolve the P1164 working group.

Regards,

Peter Ashenden
P1164 Chair
