1. Welcome
Peter welcomes the attendees and opens the meeting.
2. Minutes last meeting
The minutes were accepted and no action items of the last meeting are open.
3. Review of PAR application
PA suggests the titel of the PAR to be: "Standard for Object-Oriented
Extensions to IEEE Standard VHDL". This was accepted. He further suggested
to aim at a trial use standard with a target completeion date of June 2001
(sponsor ballot done). The scope and purpose should be as balloted. Peter
will propse the PAR to DASC Steering Committee on Sept. 3rd.
4. Proposal review
Unfortunately the panel did not have opportunity to review and discuss the
material so far. Further two members of the expert panel have appologized
for not attending the meeting: Wolfgang Ecker and Paul Menchini. Hence the
agenda needs to be adapted.
Peter refreshes the questions for the experts. A problem is the fact that
the requirements are not yet approved formally by the Study Group.
Peter suggests a schedule for the further review process, which should give
the experts 6 weeks time for discussion within the group, i.e. review
outcome to be published Friday October 15th. Discussion until Friday Oct.
29th, voting until Nov. 12th, 1999.
The e-mail vote shall be structured:
- Preamble
- review process
- summary of panel's findings
- pointers to review documents and panel's finding
- Which proposal should be adopted as the basis for object-oriented
extensions to VHDL?
- Constituency
- DASC or Standards Association membership by time of vote.
5. Compatibility with SID effort
Peter review the request by DASC to come up with rational why there are two
PAR proposals and how the co-ordiante. The baseline is up to now the
agreement between both groups as defined in Lausanne.
6. Any other business
Next meeting will be held at DATE March 27 - April 3rd, 2000. The further
procedure should be discussed before by e-mail.
