    All,

      I regret to let you all know that I attended FDL without first reviewing any of my email. I was on vacation prior to attending the conference and did not review any email during my vacation period. Accordingly, I did not get the message to share the survey with the European group for us to have additional feedback. Sorry. :(

    -Dennis

    1) The Chair read the IEEE patent policy presentation,and refers all
    to http://www.verilog.com/IEEEVerilog.html where a link to the IEEE
    policy is prominent.

    2) Shalom corrected that the minutes of the previous meeting
    incorrectly reflected that Charles left the meeting, when he did not.
    Also he pointed out that issues were all listed as Approved as
    amended, where as none were actually amended. With these corrections,
    Steve Sharp moved, and the minutes as amended were approved
    unanimously.

    3) Report of the 2001c Project

    Remaining work is on the index; Shalom working alphabetically and is
    up to the letter 'S', specify blocks; expects a few days to finish,
    and then we can send it off to print.

    Separately, we are awaiting errata sheet back from Andy, which we will
    need to review. This will be attached to the 2001c printing.

    4) Report on User survey

    Kurt reported: turnout not very good; SNPS had it at the resturant
    bar, and 30 signed up and just 20 showed up; At Cadence, it was at a
    Birds of a Feather, with food & beverages, 12 surveys were completed.
    Most self identified themeslves as designer or verification engineer,
    and he has produced charts and graphs which he will send out right
    now. We will have Dennis make this available at FDL, and send it as
    PDF to John Cooley and Janick Bergeron, and to the Mac's Verilog mode
    list.

    Kurts moves, Steve Sharps seconds that Stu should prepare and Mac send
    out surveys to Janick, Cooley, Mac FAX back to 650-934-6893

    5) The chair then reminded everyone to send in IEEE roster data at
    http://www.verilog.com/IEEEverilog.html, and to verify and renew their
    DASC membership, at http://www.dasc.org

    6) Then the group took up the next item on the agenda, which was to
    review and consider for approval the activities of the Errata and PLI
    Task Forces.

    Those seeking more information on these issues are directed to
    http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf, where one can access these items by
    issue number. As is usual practice, these matters are presented to
    the VSG by one of the chairs of the task force; discussion ensues; and
    only votes of those opposed or abstain are noted.
