RE:

A nit:  I believe that in "3.4.2 Vice-Chair" the intention is
represented
better by "e.g." than by "i.e.".

	Dear DASC Members,

	 

	There have been a number of issues raised by DASC members in the
past few months questioning actions taken with regard to DASC business.
I would like to update you with some of the actions taken in this
regard.  

	 

	Esterel and Rosetta Study Groups

	 

	PARs for these groups have been withdrawn pending reports from
the study groups that were initiated at the July 2006 DASC-SC meeting.  

	 

	CPF Study Group

	 

	The CPF study group has been dissolved.  The work which was
planned for this group has been transferred to the Low Power Coalition
at Si2.  This group will decide at some date in the future whether to
pursue a path to IEEE standardization. 

	 

	Officer Elections

	 

	Elections for secretary and treasurer of the DASC-SC were held
and completed in October.  As previously announced the new officers are
Stephen Bailey from Mentor Graphics (secretary) and Karen Bartleson from
Synopsys (treasurer).  

	 

	Dominance Issues 

	 

	Questions on dominance of the DASC-SC, DASC, and P1647 were
raised.  These issues are currently subject to an investigation by the
IEEE-SA Standards Board under the direction of its chair, Steve Mills.
A discussion of the findings on this issue will be held at the Standards
Board meeting on December 6, 2006. 

	 

	Policies and Procedures

	 

	Because of an update to the P&Ps of the Computer Society in 2005
which is the parent body of the DASC, the DASC P&Ps need to be updated
to follow the guidelines of this new document which supersedes the
currently approved DASC P&Ps.  I have enclosed a marked up copy of the
P&Ps received from the Computer Society.  These documents will be
reviewed at the next DASC-SC meeting.   Please read them now and send
any comments.

	 

	Regards, 

	  Victor Berman 

	   DASC Chair
