Dear colleagues, This is a call for approval votes from IEEE P1076 WG members on two things: a number of ISAC recommendations, and a revision of the standard to be forwarded for IEEE sponsor ballot. First, the ISAC has analyzed the issues listed below and made recommendations for interpretation of the IEEE 1076-2002 standard and for the revised LRM. Please note that, in some cases, a recommendation may be to reject a request. In that case, a vote to approve the recommendation means rejecting the request, whereas a negative vote means reconsidering the request. Please take care with the logical sense of your vote in such cases. Details of the items to be approved are below. Second, the revised draft LRM, P1076-2008/D4.2, incorporates major revisions developed by the VHDL-200x effort of the VASG and the Accellera VHDL-TC. This draft also incorporates minor changes from the ISAC recommendations being voted on. Your approval vote for D4.2 will be conditional upon approval of the ISAC recommendations. Should any ISAC recommendation not be approved, D4.2 will need to be reviewed. The P1076-2008/D4.2 document is available at http://www.eda-stds.org/vasg/P1076-2008/P1076-2008-D4.2.zip Please contact me by email (mailto:peter@ashenden.com.au) to request the username/password for access. The zip file contains: - an annotated PDF with insert/delete markup and footnotes tracing the origin of changes - a clean PDF (this is what we are formally voting on) - machine-readable files for VHDL packages and VHPI Only votes of eligible voters will be counted. Eligibility requires participation in 2 of the last 3 votes plus DASC membership. (See www.dsac.org if you need to renew.) Votes from ineligible voters will be recorded for information and for adding to your "last 2 of 3" participation count. I will acknowledge each vote received and indicate whether it was counted or not. Please consider forwarding a vote, even an abstain vote if you do not have time to review the issues in detail, so that your 2-of-3 participation is maintained. Given the size of the revised LRM, the vote period will be 30 days. Please forward votes to me by email (eg, by replying to this message) by 5pm US-PDT, Sunday May 11, 2008. For each issue and for the draft LRM, would you please vote one of: approve, negative with comments, negative with no comments, or abstain. You may also provide informative comments with a vote to approve a recommendation. Please use the form below. Thank you.
