Call to order:
==============

The meeting was called to order at 8:04am 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: Erich; second: Cindy: no objections)

The minutes of the last meeting were approved.  (Motion: Erich; second: Cindy; no objections)


Old Action Items:
=================
Harry: Ask the sponsor(s) to review and approve our modified P&Ps. (Done)
Harry: notify Lynn Horobin that Sun is now a member of the working group, so she can invoice Sun for the annual membership fee. (Still TBD)

New Action Items:
=================
Harry: email a copy of the IEEE Services contract to each DR.


Old Business:
=============

1. Membership Update

No changes since last time.

[As of this meeting, Intel has attended two consecutive working group meetings, and therefore Intel will become a voting member as of the next working group meeting, in accordance with our Policies and Procedures, at http://www.eda.org/ieee-1850/docs/PSLWG-PP-2004-12-21-approved.pdf.]

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

Last week, Dennis Brophy signed the IEEE Services contract.  Edward Rashba has been informed.  As soon as Edward receives and signs the contract, the paid services will begin.

Action item: Harry: email a copy of the contract to each DR.

4. Coordination with Other IEEE Working Groups

Coordination with IEEE 1666 SystemC
 - working to finalize some definitions for the SystemC flavor 

Coordination with IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog
 - no changes recently 

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)

No changes since the last working group meeting

3. LRM Subcommittee (Harry)

Assigned owners to each clause (previously "chapter") to integrate changes across the various proposals.  Integrated changes per clause have been posted on the reflector and will be integrated into the LRM.  Harry anticipates completing a first draft by next Tuesday.  An LRM SC review will occur first before a working group review occurs.

New Business:
