[vhdl-200x] IEEE, Accellera, and where to find enhancement proposals

Hi,
This is a reminder.  In 2005, IEEE VASG entered into an agreement
with Accellera in which the Accellera VHDL TSC has been given
permission to work on language changes to 1076.  Details of this
are posted on the VASG webpage at:
     http://www.eda-twiki.org/vasg

So if you want to participate more actively in the VHDL technical
work and/or access language extension proposals, make sure to join
the Accellera VHDL TSC.  Note you can join without being a paying
Accellera member - you simply need to register with Accellera.
To do this go to:
     http://www.accellera.org/activities/vhdl/

Under the title: Join This Committee, select the link
that follows, "If you are not an Accellera member".

Fill in the form.
In the box request to join Accellera VHDL TSC

You also may request to join some of the subcommittees/reflectors:
     * VHDL-Requirements -- Approve enhancement requests
     * VHDL-Extensions   -- transform request in to feature proposal
     * VHDL-Review       -- approve feature proposal (ensure matches request)
     * VHDL-LRM          -- transform feature proposal to LRM edits

Send the form to:
  Lynn Horobin, Administration & Marketing

Once you get a login, you can go to the private area and
download member documents (an easy way to find this area
is to follow the link on the VASG page).

Note that within Accellera (as is true with most standards
groups), technical decisions are typically based on
technical merit and not a paid membership, so active
participation will ensure your ideas are heard.


Cheers,
Jim
