Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items. Dave reported closing on several outstanding items.

Liaison Reports

Steven shared the report he sent to IEEE CAG.

Inter-operability

The group discussed the implications of Version 1 compatibility for the control block extensions as described in Dave G's email of Nov 17th. Both P1800 and P1076 support extension of pragmas/tool directives, and staying outside of the "protect" pragma/directive will avoid the obvious inter-operability problems.

License Management

Key Management

Rights Management

Dave G asked for feedback on the material that Parminder presented in the previous meetings. John suggested that a default control block would help to share common expectations across a number of tools.

John asked about the 2 rights proposals that Steven noted in the CAG report. Steven noted that the VSIA contribution needed to be reconciled with the Synopsys presentation. Cadence and Xilinx both reported proprietary implementations that carried rights specifications inside the data_block. John asked if Cadence sitll planned to bring the remainder of the data_block contribution forward, and Steven said that was the plan.
