via email) of the previous meeting, amendments which were accepted
unanimously by the committee, and the minutes as amended were
approved.
3) Report of the 2001c Project
Shalom reported he has finished editing the body of the document;
still needs to do contents and index. consisting of just the editorial
errors. This work needs to be reviewed by the committee, to catch
errors of omission and commission. An open issue is what to call the
reprinted version; they will come up with something.
Shalom has also prepared a document that list the approved substantive
changes, which is in Andy's hands for editing, and will be attached as
errata to the reprint. IEEE editor reports good progress.
Mac to call Andy to push on decision on what to call the new edition;
and to get schedule and reprint details firmed up.
People from Cadence, Synplicity and perhaps Synopsys will review the
text for accuracy and correctness.

proposed survey form. Shalom had three questions; it was decided to

Future'. Brad raised issues on a number of other questions which were
discussed. Some confusing items were removed. delete 48 and 49; adding
line for additional suggestions to user_survey@verilog.com
