We enhanced the focus of the SV-BC to include updates to the non-PLI sections of the P1364, including P1364 BTF and Encryption. The PLI sections of the P1364 standard are currently covered by the SV-CC and that will continue. Furthermore, P1364 database will be merged with the SystemVerilog Database. As a result, the following committees are authorized to operate: SV-BC, SV-CC, SV-AC, and SV-EC. We will also continue with the Champions as a way to ensure our changes are consistent across the committees. Please feel free to initiate meetings of your teams, I'd suggest once monthly, to discuss errata. Please avoid enhancements until we get authorization from the P1800 to proceed (probably once the standard and a new PAR are approved). Karen clarified that SV-BC can mark issues in DB as resolved as they are not officially accepted until they are voted on by the overseeing committee (P1800) + Operating Guidelines Scope: All confirmed understanding of scope to be: P1800 SV-BC, 1364 ETF, BTF & Encryption Issue Databases: The following sources of issues were identified: http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf/report/errata.html http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf/report/etf_proposal.html http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf/report/etfpassed.html http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf/report/enhance.html http://www.boyd.com/1364_btf/report/btf_proposal.html http://www.eda.org/svdb No commitment to automate migration of 1364 issues to SVDB.
