1) Tom Fitzpatrick read the IEEE patent policy presentation, and refers
   all to http://www.verilog.com/IEEEVerilog.html where a link to the
   IEEE policy is prominent.

2) Minutes of the previous meeting:

   Stefen Boyd moved and Michael McNamara seconds approving the minutes;
   None opposed; None abstain. Minutes approved.

3) Report of Shalom Bresticker, Editor: Still progressing, nothing new to
   report.

4) Report of other activities besides task forces.  Michael McNamara and
   Cliff Cummings attended the P1800 meeting via conference call.  Cliff
   and Mac gave their prospective on the P1800 meeting.  Meeting largely
   organizational.  Much discussion about the P1800 standard, the last
   P1800 meeting, and the future of 1364.  Cliff has the minutes from the
   meeting, but they do not appear to be posted at this point.  Future
   P1800 meetings:
   
       August 9, 2004 - Santa Clara (Synopsys)
       September 13, 2004 - Munich, Germany
       October 11, 2004 - Boston
       November 17, 2004 - Japan
   
   Francoise Martinolle asked the question about P1800 organization.  Karen
   Pieper believes P1800 will continue as SystemVerilog did in Accellera
   with the four subcommittees from the Accellera work and possibly the
   addition of ETF from 1364.
