RE: [vhdl-200x] Call for Vote: Motion to Approve Draft PAR Submission to DASC Ch air

Tim,

As DASC Chair, I don't have a right of veto. Assuming the draft PAR is
approved by the P1076 WG, it will be forwarded to the DASC Steering
Committee for approval and submission to NesCom (the IEEE-SA committee that
approves new projects). It will be up to the DASC Steering Committee to
decide whether to approve the PAR or not. My role as DASC Chair is to
facilitate the process. As per Robert's Rules, I normally don't vote,
except to make or break a tie.

Hope this allays your concerns.

Cheers,

PA
