[vhdl-200x] Meeting is Now: VHDL Study Group Meeting Reminder and Details

Hi,
Study group meeting reminder:
   Wednesday Dec 1 at 8 am Pacific.
   Dial in 1-800-637-5822
   Intl Access: +1 647-723-3937
   Passcode: 6850837

The main agenda will be to discuss and draft a PAR for
P1076. Based on the previous PAR, I put together a draft
for the next revision. I intentionally left the
descriptions of work to be done generic to allow us
freedom to do what the working group decides to do.
I posted it here for your review:
     http://www.eda-twiki.org/vasg/p1076_2014_draft_par.pdf

One discussion item will be the organization individual
(as it has been) or corporate based working group.
Here is a web page that describes the two options:
     http://standards.ieee.org/membership/index.html

Also IEEE governing the rules of working group participation
are here. In particular section 5.2.1.2 gives the rules for
entity based groups. These changes happened in
    http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sect5.html

Either way we go, long term one thing we need to solve
is how to fund any necessary items, such as funding LRM
writing. Entity groups facilitate this - keep in mind
though that all the IEEE dues go to IEEE - so no matter
what we do we have to raise a separate amount of money
to fund these activities.

Another thing we need to solve is how to demonstrate
that user companies are behind any proposed changes.

We do not necessarily need to solve either of these
last two items this while writing the PAR.

Please attend and weigh in with your opinions on the
PAR, group organization, and the additional issues.

Best Regards,
Jim Lewis
