As announced in my email dated 11/29/2007, we have been working on a revision of
the Operating Procedures of the IEEE P1076.1 Working Group. Compared to the
previous version, the updated document includes the following substantial
changes:

- Synchronization with DASC Policies and Procedures. This precipitated many of
the other changes
- Addition of Treasurer position
- Scope to also include 1076.1.1. I know this is not currently part of our PAR,
so this needs to be addressed in due time
- Removal of all references to IEEE-SA documents. The DASC P&Ps contain no such
references, and the Bylaws and Operating procedures of IEEE-SA have changed
substantially so the references in V1.0 were no longer correct
- Removal of the possibility of a letter ballot
- Meeting notice now 21 days
- Adjustment of WG membership rules by removing Observers; from the perspective
of the procedures there is no difference between Observers and Members who are
not also DASC members
- Voting membership requiring participation in 2 out of 3 previous meetings or
votes

Alain has uploaded two documents with the updated Procedures, one that includes
all changes relative to the currently active Procedures and one that contains
the final version. You can find these documents and the currently active
Procedures at http://www.eda-stds.org/vhdl-ams under the Operating Procedures
link. You can also find them by directly going to
http://www.eda-stds.org/vhdl-ams/wwwpages_new/operating_procedures.html.

I am calling for a vote of the WG to adopt these updated Operating Procedures.
The vote is conducted based on the rules of the old procedures. Eligible to vote

are all WG members who are also DASC members as of January 31, 2008. The vote
requires approval by two-thirds of the voting members.

Please cast your vote by email to me, christen.1858@verizon.net, by midnight UCT

Friday, February 22, 2008.

Thank you.
Ernst Christen
Chair, IEEE P1076.1 Working Group
