[sv-ec] Clocking Block face-to-face meeting??

Hi, All -

Clocking blocks, programs and event scheduling are serious issues 
where there is still much confusion.

Could I suggest that we hold a day-long face-to-face meeting on the 
combined subjects and nothing else? I think if the major players and 
interested users would be willing to travel to San Jose to a meeting 
hosted by Synopsys or Mentor (or come to Oregon for the same meeting 
:-)) that we could accomplish on a white board and with 
presentations, that which is difficult to do by conference call.

Goal of the meeting: put together proposals for submission to the EC 
addressing Mantis 890 and other issues related to event scheduling, 
clocking blocks and programs.
Voting rights - would not count towards voting eligibility. All 
participants to vote on proposals but none of the proposals could be 
passed in this meeting (we can only assemble proposals to be 
submitted to the EC - sort of like a champions meeting for 
clocking-programs-events)
