Hi David,

 

You are right; it does not say that. My desire was to send the intended
message of our recent changes, namely, to be as inclusive as possible in
allowing participation as an officer in the working group. I
unintentionally overstated it by saying "any member of the working
group". It is really any participant in the working group. All please
take note.

 

We didn't consider this in the by-laws update discussion we had. We
might have considered it as reasonable criteria. What did 1076.1
conclude in their update of their by-laws? I believe the only formal
difference in our P&Ps between a participant and a working group member
is establishing and maintaining voting rights. Because that maintenance
is attendance-based, it is certainly simple, objective evidence of
genuine interest in the WG proceedings.

 

Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Regards, John

Hi John,

One question we had in the 1076.1 update of the by-laws was whether the
offices have to be members of the working group. It would make sense but
I did not see it in the text.

Regards

David

Subject: [vhdl-200x] 1076 Officer Elections: call for nominations

 

Hi All,

I have been appointed to act as the elections processor for election of
the 1076 Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary. This is a call for
nominations for those positions. Please forward nominations to me by
reply email no later than 5pm US-PDT, Tuesday, August 30, 2011.

Our procedures have been recently changed to be as inclusive as possible
on the qualifications for officers. They state the following
qualifications:

* The Chair shall be a member of any grade of the IEEE, a member of the
IEEE-SA, and a member of the DASC.

The vice-chair and secretary may therefore be any member of the working
group. You are all encouraged to consider participating as an officer.

Operating Procedures for P1076 Working Group
http://www.eda-twiki.org/vasg/docs/p1076_wg_pp.pdf

As I receive nominations, I will confirm with the nominee that they are
eligible and willing to stand. Nominations may come from any participant
and I encourage all of you to consider this. Self-nominations will also
be accepted. As a last bit of information, confirmed nominees may submit
a position statement, if they wish, to be included with the announcement
of the nominees at the start of the election voting period. However, we
do not require position statements for this election.
