        Hi Brian,
        
        Meeting time works quite well for me as this in end of working day
in UK.
        Not so good for France/rest of Europe where they are 1 hour ahead.
        
        Recorded calls would certainly be usefull. I am trying to attend
meetings to
        get up to speed on the discussion but for example next Thursday I
will be
        flying to Italy and so will miss the scheduled meeting.
        
        I have 2 specific issues that I would like addressed by SCE-MI 2.0.
These
        are requirements rather than implementation issues as I am
approaching this
        as a customer. Hopefully members of the committee will come up with
good
        ways of adapting the Mentor proposal to satisfy these 'user' issues:
        
        1) Backwards compatability with SCE-MI 1.1, possibly through
        adaption/wrapper ie: easy migration path for existing users. ST is
already
        doing a lot with SCE-MI and we do not want to have to throw this
away in
        order to move to SCE-MI 2.0
        
        3) Consistent support for VHDL, Verilog and SystermVerilog. I hope
this is
        adequately addressed by the discussion of a "functional call
interface
        available in each language"
        
        Joseph Bulone (who manages my emulation team) will send a list of
more
        specific issues eg: impact of limiting clock control.
