Johny Srouji & Karen Pieper January 22, 2003www.accellera.org5 SV-BC F2F Charter To address issues exposed in SystemVerilog 3.0 standard through implementation Cannot re-define SystemVerilog 3.0. SystemVerilog 3.0 is an Accellera Approved Standard The goal is to make sure we have: > Clear syntax. > Clear semantics. > Limited modification based on implementation.
