RE: [vhdl-200x] Accellera VHDL TC and IEEE 1076 MOU

Steve,
 
I move to approve the MoU, or if someone else has already so moved, I second
their motion.
 
Cheers,

Subject: [vhdl-200x] Accellera VHDL TC and IEEE 1076 MOU



All, 

Lance Thompson (chair of the Accellera VHDL TC) and I with assistance from
Erich Marschner drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on how the
Accellera VHDL TC and IEEE 1076 WG would liaise.  The MOU outlines how the
two groups will work together by maximizing the strengths of both groups and
avoiding redundant effort.

The MOU is not a legal document.  >From a legal perspective, the IEEE
retains the rights to the VHDL LRM copyright and Accellera is creating
derivative works under permission from the IEEE which will be turned over to
the IEEE.  The MOU is simply a statement of how the two groups will work
cooperatively.

The MOU is attached for your review.  The Accellera VHDL TC approved the MOU
yesterday.  I ask for a motion and a second to place the MOU to a vote of
the WG ASAP.

Thank you.
