Call to order:
==============
The meeting was called to order at 8:03am PST.  
Attendance was recorded via roll call.
The IEEE patent policy slides were presented.  The working group was advised that the IEEE's Patent Policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy; that early disclosure of patents which may be essential for the use of standards under development is encouraged; that such disclosures may not be exhaustive; and that the IEEE, the working group, and the working group chair cannot ensure the accuracy or completeness of any disclosure.  An opportunity was provided for the working group members to disclose patents that might be essential for use of PSL.  No patents were disclosed.
The agenda was approved. (Motion: Cindy; second: Richard: no objections)
The minutes of the last meeting were approved.  (Motion: Erich; second: Richard; no objections)
Old Action Items:
=================
Harry: Ask the sponsor(s) to review and approve our modified P&Ps. (In process)
Harry: Schedule LRM SC mtg to merge the proposed LRM changes for each chapter.(Done)
officers: Complete the IEEE Support Services contract. (In process)
New Action Items:
=================
Harry: notify Lynn Horobin that Sun is now a member of the working group, so she can invoice Sun for the annual membership fee.
Old Business:
=============
1. Membership Update
Intel is joining the working group.  Alexander Levin will be the DR.
Jasper has joined IEEE-SA and therefore (as of the last meeting) has become a member of the working group.  Johan Mårtenson and Johan Alfredsson (both of whom have been attending as observers from Safelogic, which is now part of Jasper) are the DR and DRA, respectively.
Sun Microsystems has just completed joining the IEEE-SA, and therefore Sun is now a member of the working group.  Tom Thatcher is the DR.
2. Schedule Review
The schedule remains unchanged until we can put the IEEE support services contract in place, at which point we can revised the schedule with consultation from the IEEE.
3. IEEE Support Services
Accellera has approved 20K for us for services
However, Accellera still hasn't signed the contract.
Lynn Horobin of Accellera has issued invoices for membership fees.  
Sun was not on the list of members given to Accellera - Harry will update Lynn.
4. Coordination with Other IEEE Working Groups
Coordination with IEEE 1666 SystemC
 - Erich has been working with Cadence participants in IEEE 1666 to define the SystemC flavor of PSL
Coordination with IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog
 - no update 
Coordination with IEEE 1076 VHDL
 - no update
Subcommittee Reports:
=====================
1. Issues Subcommittee (Erich)
The Issues List can be found at http://www.eda.org/ieee-1850/Issues/Issues.html).
No new issues were reported this past week.
2. Extensions Subcommittee (Erich)

3. LRM Subcommittee (Harry)
LRM SC will meet next Tuesday after the WG meeting.
Between now and then, LRM SC members should review the Extensions proposals for conflicts. 
New Business:
=============
Harry reported that he will accept the DesignVision Award being given for PSL at a ceremony later today at DesignCon.
Next Meeting:
=============
The next meeting of the working group will be held on Tuesday February 8, 2005 starting at 8am PDT, and lasting approximately 30 minutes, with an LRM SC meeting continuing afterwards until 10am PDT.  Agenda and teleconference information will be sent out shortly.
Adjournment
===========
Attendance was checked again, by roll call.
Motion to adjourn - (motion: Richard; second: Yaron; no objections)
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:25am PST.
(A meeting of the Extensions SC followed the WG meeting, from 8:25am until 10:00am PST.)
