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 Chair declared that this meeting would be considered optional, and therefore attendance or lack thereof at this meeting would not affect membership status, because the agenda had not been sent out with sufficient notice as required by our P&Ps. In any case, this meeting was called primarily to allow presentation of information about the upcoming ballot, and no substantive issues were scheduled to be discussed. Old Action Items: ================= none. New Action Items: ================= none. Old Business: ============= none. 1. Membership Update 2. Schedule Review 3. IEEE Support Services 4. Coordination with Other IEEE Working Groups Coordination with IEEE 1666 SystemC Coordination with IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog Coordination with IEEE 1076 VHDL Subcommittee Reports: ===================== 1. Issues Subcommittee (Erich) 2. Extensions Subcommittee (Erich) 3. LRM Subcommittee (Harry) The latest draft of the LRM was sent out yesterday. New Business: ============= Noelle Humenick and Andy Ickowicz attended to present regarding the balloting process. The slides are posted at http://www.eda.org/ieee-1850/docs/P1850_SponsorBal_Primer_v2.ppt . Invitation for 1850 closes on April 12. Peter Ashenden will approve the balloting constituency (after resolving any balance issues). Erich proposed modifying the closing time to use midnight Pacific time rather than Eastern time. Noelle noted the suggestion. Noelle emphasized that each voting entity must include its corporate IEEE-SA number (not any individual IEEE-SA member number) on the ballot to ensure that it is counted. Andy or Noelle will check that a confirmation is returned for each ballot submitted. A question arose about the "less than 30% abstention" constraint, and how that relates to the the return rate (75%) and approval rate (75%). Noelle and Andy may look into this. Questions can be asked via the reflector. Next Meeting: ============= The next meeting of the IEEE 1850 Working Group will occur on Tuesday April 12, 2005 starting at 8am PDT. Agenda and teleconference information will be sent out shortly. Adjournment =========== Attendance was checked again, by roll call. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:55am PDT. ============================================================================Received on Tue Apr 5 12:12:25 2005
