Liaison Reports

Steven reported DASC meeting activities: 1647 WG, 1735 assessment for 2013

Krista reported on restoration of services at IEEE operations, and updates on the pending invoice activity. She also reported that Aldec did not plan to pay the working group assessment and would be withdrawing from the working group.

Inter-operability

Dave G suggested that we clarify the interoperability expectations for encryption envelopes. The group noted that another champion would need to be designated for Interoperability.

License Management

Dave G reported that internal discussions is still in the whiteboard stage and that he has blocked out time for updating the license management draft this week.

Key Management

Steven reported that a second draft had been uploaded, and he expects to be revising that draft significantly during the coming week.

Rights Management

A third draft has been uploaded, and review is solicited, particularly from folks with a VHDL background. The conditional rights syntax needs review as it is derived in part from a C and SystemVerilog base.
