[sv-ec] Meeting to review ballot issues Tuesday April 5th, 2005

All,

This is a call to hold a SV-EC face-to-face meeting
on April 5th, 2005. The champions' meeting is slated for
March 29th, whereby their recommendations on ballot issues
will be posted. We will then need to review and have discussion
on their recommendations.  (I have appended Karen's email below
for your information).

This meeting will follow the day after sv-bc face-to-face meeting.
We will decide on the meeting duration based on the champion's
recommendation, so this may change the exact time the meeting
starts and ends. I will send out email on that as we get closer
to that date.  We will still have our conf. call dial-in for
anyone who can not make it in person.
Logistics:
   Place: Chardonnay conf. room, Synopsys, Sunnyvale Bldg 1.
	445 North Mary Ave, Sunnyvale, Ca. 94085
   Date/Time: Tuesday April 5th, 2005.  9:30 am to 4:00pm (tentative).

We will need exact attendees names so badges will be prepared 
upon arrival.
Regards,
- Mehdi

Subject: Please Read: Schedule for responding to balloting feedback

Hi, SV-* Chairs and Co-chairs,

After yesterday's P1800 meeting, I can now communicate the process for
work in the P1800 SV-* committees going forward. Please note that the
schedule is very tight, and that there are some suggested all day
Face-to-Face meetings that need to be scheduled below.

February 22: The balloting process opens. As feedback is filed with the
IEEE, it will be forwarded
to Johny, and he is likely to forward it on to me and the Champions for
preliminary processing
into buckets (see March 28 below).

The committees may wish to leave open the opportunity to meet in this
time in case some
feedback is forwarded to the committee; however, the committees are NOT
AUTHORIZED to discuss any issue not raised in the ballot feedback
forwarded from the Champions until further notice. Please update your
committee agendas as required.

March 24: The ballot closes.

March 28: P1800 will receive the accumulated feedback filed with the
balloting.
This feedback will be given to the Champions to sort into several
buckets:

1) Issues that may require substantive changes to the LRM are forwarded
to the SV-* committees
2) Issues that are editorial changes will be forwarded to Stu
3) Issues that are "not a bug" are commented on appropriately and passed
back to the P1800

The P1800 recommends that the champions have a face-to-face all day
meeting to complete
this process.

March 31: The Champions are complete with their initial classification
and assignment of issues to
committees.

The P1800 recommends that the SV-* committees plan an all day
face-to-face to deal with the
issues raised. Possible resolutions are:

1) Changes are made to the LRM to address the issue
2) Addressing the issue is determined to decrease consensus in the
committee is so noted on
the issues spreadsheet.
3) Other determination of the issue is made and is also so noted in the
issues spreadsheet
Note: Saying that an issue will be delayed to a future release is not an
allowed response.

April 12: The committees are complete with their LRM updates and issue
spreadsheet updates.

The Champions will meet, do their review of LRM changes looking for
inconsistency, etc.
This is likely to be a phone meeting.

April 15: The Champions have completed their analysis and the data is
forwarded to the P1800.

April 19: The P1800 has a WG meeting in Austin to approve the changes
and responses.

May 3: The updated draft is ready for editorial review of the changes

May 9: The re-ballot draft is complete

May 10: Voting on the re-ballot draft starts.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Karen
