    Dear colleagues,

    I am concerned and disappointed at the actions taken by the P1364 Chair at
    the NesCom meeting. My understanding is that he organized a dial-in for
    P1364 members to participate and comment on the P1800 proposal.
    Furthermore, he questioned whether P1800 could be approved ahead of the
    changes to the P1364 PAR that we agreed to.

    I view Mac's actions as unprofessional and reprehensible. The DASC-SC
    agreed on a course of action, and obtained agreement and support from CAG
    and Accellera officers. Mac's actions and comments to NesCom have
    undermined the standing of DASC as a sponsor and as a responsible
    organization.

    As sponsor for P1364 and P1800, it is the perogative of the DASC, through
    its Steering Committee, to manage the development of the standards. The
    P1364 Chair does not represent the position of the DASC-SC.

    I am directing the P1364 Chair and members not to make representations on
    P1800 or P1364 to other organizations of IEEE or external bodies without
    prior consultation and approval of the DASC Steering Committee.

    My enduring concern is that DASC remain viable as the forum for developing
    EDA standards within IEEE. I will speak strongly against anything that
    prejudices that.

    Regards,

    Peter Ashenden
    DASC Chair
