- Draft-5 of SV3.1 LRM was made available on Friday February 27. It was
  parked under: http://www.eda.org/sv/SystemVerilog_3.1a_draft5.pdf

  corrections into sv-bc. Only editorial comments are considered. 

- on March 10 - Johny and Karen will prepare a list and send to David 
  Smith (owner of the LRM)

- If the amount of issues that were found during the review period (ending 
  by March) is sufficient, a Draft-6 shall be created including these
  changes. 

- Any requested changes made after March 10 shall not be accepted
  on Draft-5 and proposed changes will occur in our meeting at March 15. 
  This allows 5 days period for the review and voting to occur.

- Only qualified voting members are eligible to vote.

- On March 31 - TCC will provide recommendation to Accellera board

- On April 15 - Accellera board will complete the voting and approve 
  SV3.1A as an Accellera standard

- On April 8 - all editorial changes will be added to the final LRM of 
  3.1A. This version will be released on April 15. 

- Between April 8 through June 1, SV committees will continue to collect 
  feedback (Errata and Enhancement):

  - Errata will be released on bi-weekly basis on the reflector.

  - Errata list will be released separately from the original Standard. We 
    will have versions attached to it.

We then agreed to continue to meet bi-weekly to close issues so that we pass 
a clear list of issues to the IEEE.

Johny moves that between 3/15 and 4/15 we will have no meetings to give 
everyone a break.  Dave seconds.  No opposed.  No abstain.  Passes.

Karen moves that we meet on 3/15 to do the voting for the approval of the 
standard.  (Earlier mail proxies should be allowed. It will be a short 
meeting.)  Nikhil seconds.  No opposed.  No abstain.  Passes.

Meeting adjourns.
