Re: Accellera and DASC

Evan,
this information is actually incorrect. Stu Sutherland non-voting position
on the Board of Directors of Accellera is the result of Stu being the chair
of the Accellera Designers Forum. The Forum was my idea, but I have never
had any active participation after the initial organization of the Forum.
Since I had the idea and organized the beast, my name was associated with
it. Although Stu served as Chair the past twelve months, he has now
resigned the position and sent out a public email announcing his decision.
As you well know it is difficult to keep a web page up-to-date, especially
when doing so depends strictly on volunteers. I am sure you do know that,
although the eda.org page receives some financial support from Accellera, it
is run completely independent from Accellera and that its system
administrators are not connected with Accellera in any way.
