Re: [sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Fw: Clarification of Entity-based participating/voting rules.

Karen -
Is even *attendance* limited to members? I thought that previously, non-members
could join the calls and speak, but not vote.

I spent a lot of (company-paid) time developing the compact modeling extensions
to Verilog-AMS for "the good of the industry"; my company is not interested in
paying $000s so that I can have the privilege of contributing my time.
