    1) Tom Fitzpatrick 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) Minutes of the previous meeting:

       Stefen Boyd moved and Michael McNamara seconds approving the minutes;
       None opposed; None abstain. Minutes approved.

    3) Report of Shalom Bresticker, Editor: Still progressing, nothing new to
       report.

    4) Report of other activities besides task forces. Michael McNamara and
       Cliff Cummings attended the P1800 meeting via conference call. Cliff
       and Mac gave their prospective on the P1800 meeting. Meeting largely
       organizational. Much discussion about the P1800 standard, the last
       P1800 meeting, and the future of 1364. Cliff has the minutes from the
       meeting, but they do not appear to be posted at this point. Future
       P1800 meetings:
       
           August 9, 2004 - Santa Clara (Synopsys)
           September 13, 2004 - Munich, Germany
           October 11, 2004 - Boston
           November 17, 2004 - Japan
       
       Francoise Martinolle asked the question about P1800 organization. Karen
       Pieper believes P1800 will continue as SystemVerilog did in Accellera
       with the four subcommittees from the Accellera work and possibly the
       addition of ETF from 1364.
       
    5) Karen Pieper reports on ETF passed issues:
       
       Issue 16: Moved by Karen Pieper, Seconded by Brad Pierce
       Opposed: none
       Abstain: none
       Motion passes unanimously
       
       Issue 557: Moved by Karen Pieper, Seconded by Cliff Cummings
       Opposed: none
       Abstain: none
       Motion passes unanimously
       
       Issue 586: Moved by Karen Pieper, Seconded by Shalom Bresticker
       Opposed: none
       Abstain: none
       Motion passes unanimously
       
    6) Charles Dawson reports on PTF passed issues:

       Issue 320: This is a duplicate to issue 341 and just needs to be closed.
       None opposed and the issue was closed.
       
       Issue 518: Moved by Charles Dawson, Seconded by Steven Dovich
       Opposed: none
       Abstain: none
       Motion passes unanimously
       
       Issue 525: Moved by Charles Dawson, Seconded by Steven Dovich
       Opposed: none
       Abstain: none
       Motion passes unanimously
       
    7) No BTF passed issued. Steven Sharp is on vacation. Karen Pieper is
       available to run the BTF meeting. Since the modified 1364 PAR is not
       yet approved, the BTF can continue to operate. Several members will be
       calling in for the meeting at 10:30.
       
    8) From the PTF minutes, Stu wants to resign as the PTF co-chair. However,
       he was not present at this meeting and no actions were taken.

    9) Alec Stanculescu moves to adjourn meeting at 9:35.
