Hello Dear Verilog-AMS meeting,
We have conducted a meeting in the presence of Accellera Chairman, Dennis
Brophy. We discussed some technical issues in regards to the priority that we are set to
do (discipline). We re-affirmed the process for continuing this forward. It is summarized in the following sections:
1- Personal Conduct -- No blame and no Shame --.
As we move forward, we must stop pointing the fingers to the different people
or companies. We must conduct ourselves as professional and remove any personal
issue and history from our standard activities. If you hear any one violating this, please remind
him or he of this "No blame and no shame" rule. This is extremely important item so
that we can build the team that I originally created several years ago.
2- Standardization activities -- One Priority at A time --
a- We will focus at one priority at a time. We have prioritized 98 issues. We do not
have any deadline issues. We do have commitment from the following people to work at
least two hours per week (Jon, Kevin, Sri, David, Peter, Martin, and Ramana Aisola). This will
be the Verilog-AMS core committee.
b- For Each Priority we will do the following:
- Assign A leader: The leader will be responsible for calling meetings for the core committee. The leader will complete the assignment by delivering an voted document to the 2.1 draft collection. I would like to see a volunteer assigned to this collection. I would like to nominate David Smith.
- For each meeting a 75% of the members will constitute a quorum. This means that meeting should not be conducted unless 75% of the team is attending. No vote should be taken unless a quorum exist.
- Voting: a simple majority will win. Once a vote is done, this will be accepted by everyone.
- Each proposal draft must be voted on and accepted by the draft keeper.
- No more follow on discussions will be accepted afterwards.
3- Next Steps:
a- Sri will be the first team leader. The team will focus only on the discipline. Sri
will call the team for meeting and will ensure that activities are happening.
b- Once Implemented, I would assign the next priority list with another team leader.
c- Please support your team leader, because you will be next on the list.
d- I am still searching for a chairman for Verilog-AMS.
4- Issue: David Smith raised the issue on the organization of Verilog-AMS LRM and how it fits with Verilog 2001 LRM (or 1995). If accepted, I would like to assign Kevin to examine the current LRM and also the IEEE LRM. We will discuss this at an appropriate time.
a- Joe Daniel is currently with technical editor. He will get involved once we established
a certain percentage of the proposal draft collections.
b- Everyone should have a copy of the 2.0 LRM. This is our current standard and this is what we will start with.
If there are corrections, let me know. Please unite around Sri.
Best Regards
Vassilios
