RE: ISAC: Minutes from meeting on 12 April 2007

Jim,

Actually, the P in P1076 stands for "project". Since IEEE has a 1076 project
(of which Jim is the WG Chair), I think it still makes sense to call the
Accellera draft P1076-2006/D3.0.

The VHPI project was P1076c, that is, the third ("c") amendment project
("P") for 1076. Thus, the approved document is IEEE 1076c-2007, amending
IEEE 1076-2002.

Cheers,

PA
