Meeting Minutes: Teleconference Jan 11, 2002.
===============

Attendees:

Joe Wetstein
Ben Cohen
Stefan Boyd
Jenjen Tiao
Cliff Cummings
J. Bhasker

1. Discussed attributes. Here is the list of additional
   attributes that were agreed upon (i have attached a file).
   (This list may be refined later based on Cliff's proposals on additional
pragmas
    that are expected by our next meeting date in Feb).
   (i did change some of these after having thought some more - some names
are changed and
    noprune is merged with keep).

2. Reviewed draft 1.8.
   Jenjen made some comments and observation on the use of word "attribute"
"pragma" and "directive".
   Jenjen to post specific items noted and Bhasker to correct draft.

   Bhasker made comment about "Annex B" - it is sort of hanging in there,
rather incomplete.
   Cliff had contributed the earlier material and he agreed to contribute
more material by the
   March meeting date.

3. The draft will stay in review mode until end of March. All members are
requested to review and
   post comments. This is the last chance to review before we go to ballot.

4. Plan to go to ballot May/June timeframe - thus we need to start the
balloting process,
   the first step of which is to form the balloting pool. Bhasker to
initiate this.

5. Cliff suggested that there may be a time slot available at the HDLCON
conference to provide
   an update of the 1364.1 WG status. WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN
PROVIDING THIS UPDATE? If so,
   please contact Cliff (cliffc@sunburst-design.com).

6. Next meeting is on Feb 8. Will have face-to-face meeting at HDLCON in
March (date and time yet
   to be decided).

7. Here is what I think the future roadmap is (we did not discuss this at
the meeting):

   a. Bhasker to start formation of balloting pool.
   b. Draft to be in review mode until end of March.
   c. Cliff to provide feedback on any additional pragmas - Feb 8.
   d. Cliff to provide feedback on Annex B - March 11/12.
   e. Prepare final draft for ballot - April.
   f. Go ballot - May/June.
   g. Ballot resolutions - July to Sept.
   h. If no recirculation required, to submit as standard in Oct 2002.
