Re: Cadence wreal proposal donation result

Kevin,

In my opinion, I thought Mentor proposal was complimentary to what is
being considered as part of the Cadence wreal donation, and addresses
some of the aspects of the wreal issues that are being discussed.

Infact we had scheduled to discuss the Cadence proposal as part of last
week's call, however Ken is on vacation and hence we have scheduled it
for next week.

Regards,
Sri
