    Dennis,

    Thanks.

    I would just like to say that, yes, today IEEE Std 1364-2001c IS the
    official IEEE Verilog standard (after taking into account the errata
    document).

    However, without any connection to the notifier issue, we know that
    this standard contains errors beyond what appears in the errata
    document. That is unfortunate, but it is a fact. Some are errors which
    were introducted in 1364-2001, some were there in 1364-2001 but not fixed
    in 1364-2001. Some were found before 1364-2001 was approved, but due to
    various reasons, were not incorporated into 1364-2001. Some were simply
    forgotten, for example. And I refer to issues which are not controversial.

    Changes that we propose today will go into a draft version of P1364-2005
    which will go through a regular ballot process. In the meantime, the
    P1364-2005 represents the recommendation of the P1364 Working Group as
    to what the WG thinks the standard should be, but that recommendation is
    unofficial and may change in the ballot process or even beforehand.

    Shalom
