> Invitation to Ballot
> ====================
>
> The Computer Society/Design Automation Standards Committee
> invites you to ballot on the following:
>
> Title: Standard for Verilog Register Transfer Level Synthesis
>
> Scope: To develop a standard syntax and semantics for Verilog RTL
> synthesis. This standard shall define the subset of IEEE
> 1364 (Verilog HDL) which is suitable for RTL synthesis and
> shall define the semantics of that subset for the synthesis
> domain. This standard shall be based on the current
> existing standard IEEE 1364.
>
> Purpose: The purpose of this standard is to define syntax and
> semantics which can be used in common by all compliant RTL
> synthesis tools to achieve uniformity of results in a
> similar manner to which simulation tools currently use the
> IEEE 1364 standard. This will allow users of synthesis
> tools to produce well-defined designs whose functional
> characteristics are independent of any particular synthesis
> implementation by making their designs compliant with this
> developed standard.
>
> If you are interested in participating in this electronic ballot, you must
> respond by 2002-03-13, 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

> Instructions for responding to this electronic Invitation to Ballot
> ===================================================================
>
> This Invitation to Ballot is to advise you that a Sponsor Ballot will
> be conducted in the near future on the existing or proposed Standard
> that is referenced in the Title above. The IEEE Standards Association
> is seeking to determine whether you wish to participate in this
> Sponsor Ballot.
>
> 1. Review the Title, Scope, and Purpose above to determine the subject
> matter of the Standard.
>
> 2. If you are *NOT interested* in participating in the Sponsor Ballot
> of this Standard, simply discard this e-mail. No further action is
> required on your part.
>
> 3. If you *ARE interested* in participating in the Ballot, you must
> respond by filling out the web-based form at
>
> http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/bsignup/0000226
>
> Your Classification refers to your relationship to the subject matter of
> this specific document (e.g., are you a User of this technology?). If you
> have a combination of interests (e.g., I am both a User and a Producer of
> this technology), then you should select the General Interest
> classification. An exception is if you work for the government, the
> academic community, or are a consultant: then that will be your
> classification. Other classifications may be added to meet RevCom
> requirements of balance.
>
> IMPORTANT:
>
> You must be a current IEEE-SA member to ballot. Information on joining
> the IEEE Standards Association can be found at
> http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/join.html
>
> To participate, you must have access to the World Wide Web to submit a
> vote and comments, and to download the draft. The draft is posted in
> Adobe "PDF" document format and can be viewed online, or it can be
> downloaded and printed if desired. You will need a copy of Adobe's
> Acrobat Reader (3.0 or higher) to view or print the draft. If you do not
> have the program, it is freely available from Adobe at
> http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

> Obligations and Responsibilities of Balloters
> =============================================
>
> If you choose to participate in this electronic ballot, once the ballot
> opens you will be provided the URLs for the subject document and the
> ballot form. You will typically have 30 days to review the document and
> return the ballot with your vote. The IEEE requires that a minimum of
> 75% of the balloting group return their ballots for the ballot to be
> valid. As such, by agreeing to participate in this ballot you have an
> *obligation* to respond.
>
> Failure to return a completed ballot may cause your name to be removed
> from the Invitation to Ballot list (i.e., the balloting pool), precluding
> your receiving Invitations to participate in future Sponsor Ballots.
>
> NOTE: This obligation to respond described above does *not* apply to
> Recirculation Ballots (an additional ballot of a document you have
> previously voted on). You only need to respond to a Recirculation Ballot
> if you wish to change your initial vote. If you do not respond to a
> Recirculation Ballot, your last recorded vote will be carried forward.
>
> The names of all voters will be listed in the front matter of the standard
> when it is published. No contact information or how you voted will be
> included. The paragraph above the balloting group listed will state: "The
> following members of the balloting group voted on this standard.
Balloters
> may have voted for approval, disapproval, or abstention."
>
> Any question regarding this e-mail should be sent to the
> IEEE-SA Balloting Center at sa-ballot@ieee.org. For questions regarding
> the standard itself, please send an e-mail to the Working Group Chair, J.
> Bhasker, at jbhasker@cadence.com.
