[sv-ec] Minutes from 21 January 2003 meeting


Subject: [sv-ec] Minutes from 21 January 2003 meeting
From: David W. Smith (david.smith@synopsys.com)

Greetings,
 
Here are the minutes from the face to face meeting. It is compiled from
notes taken by Stefen and by Mehdi. I have done my best to integrate them. I
still have to process all of the changes noted in the minutes into action
items but thought it is important to get the minutes out. Please check and
clarify any statements you feel you need to.
 
I have also modified the tracking of voting to be consistent with guidelines
provided by Vassilios.
 
Here are some clarifications from Vassilios that I think we need to all be
aware of.
 
1. On Member based votes a tie is broken by the TCC chair (Vassilios).
 
2. Only Accellera members have voting rights (with the provision that IEEE
1364 members are a single group with the same voting rights as a member
company and that all attendees can vote on straw/non-binding votes if we
wish).
 
3. The Scheduling Semantics was passed to the SV-EC for the purpose of
refinement and clarification. It will be voted on for acceptance by the
overall SV committee and not by the SV-EC. The reason for this is that it
was not part of the donation but is a result of the analysis of the work
going on in each of the committees. It therefore needs to be approved in a
forum including each of the committees.
 
There is a back log of minute approval and approval of changes (that were
created based on committee actions but the final words were not reviewed). I
want to propose the following process for email based votes.
 
1. A vote for email can be called by the chair/co-chair.
2. The period for response will be one week.
3. Any negative vote will force the issue to be discussed and voted on at a
committee meeting.
4. If there are no negative votes and half of the eligible voters respond
then the motion will be passed.
5. The purpose of this is to pass items that are non-controversial and to
reduce the time required to handle them in meetings.
 
So, with these guidelines I would also like to include the request to vote
on the following items:
 
__yes __no 1. Acceptance of the above.
__yes __no 2. Approve minutes from 6 January 2003
__yes __no 3. Approve minutes from 13 January 2003
__yes __no 4. Approve minutes from 21 January 2003
__yes __no 5. Approve CH-32
__yes __no 6. Approve CH-34
__yes __no 7. Approve CH-35
__yes __no 8. 8pprove CH-36
__yes __no 9. Approve CH-37
__yes __no 10. Approve CH-38
__yes __no 11. Approve CH-39
__yes __no 12. Approve CH-40
__yes __no 13. Approve CH-41
__yes __no 14. Approve CH-42
 
Voting on these items will close on Friday 31 January 2003. Clearly if item
1 does NOT pass then we will not be able to accept the vote on items 2-14.
But in the interest of expediency I would like to try to do them all.
 
Regards
David
