1) The Chair read the IEEE patent policy presentation.
2) Shalom noted that issue 265 was also passed, the group agreed
unanimously; and the minutes were updated
Steve Sharp moved, minutes as ammended passed unanimously.
3) Report of the 2001c Project
Shalom has reviewed his work; found one mistake; which he has fixed;
he is working on table of contents. Goal is to finish in the next few
weeks.
PLI group would like to make documents in UML format, and provide them
in file format. Mac to investigate to see if there are any issues.
Francis to talk to Andy.
4) Report on User survey
Jay Stu, Kurt, Fitz: Jay sent out new mission statement, deliverables,
checklist. Followup this week.
Survey to be presented at:
ICU September 15th 5:00-6:30 pm Birds of a Feather
SNUG September 9th 12:35-1:45 pm Lunch provided
Kurt: The management of the Synopsys Users Group (SNUG) said Cadence
person (Jay) can not attend SNUG; Kurt contacted top level executives
to get permission; and got a reluctant, "only if we felt this was
totally required", could Jay attend. Synopsys also 'devolunteered'
sending their employee (Tom Fitzpatrick) to the Cadence users group
(ICU).
Consensus of the working group was to respect the position of SNUG,
and to instead send Kurt, Cliff & Stu to represent IEEE Verilog at the
SNUG, as none of these individuals are viewed as competitors by SNUG.
Also consensus is to direct the chair to send survey to Janick
Bergeron and John Cooley.
5) The chair then reminded everyone to send in IEEE roster data
updates, which can be done at
<http://www.verilog.com/IEEEVerilog.html> and Join DASC by filling
out the form at <http://dasc.org/dasc_membership_application.html>;
it is time to renew DASC membership for next year.
6) Kurt Baty proposed that we form a Coordination Task Force
to sort through donations and enhancement by priority, impact, and
task force, potentially proposing new tasks forces; and pass the
work and suggested order to the other tasks forces. Second: Brad
Pierce.

The chair did not vote.
Of those enfranchised, the vote is 4 in favor, 3 abstaining and 2 against.
The question came up on voting rules, and did had the group
established a requirement for affirmative majority, or just a simple
majority; and the mater was tabled until this could be determined.
The chair has found nothing to establish that rules other than Roberts
Rules of order apply, which would mean this would pass; however we
will revisit this in the next VSG meeting.
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 Task
Force.
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.
