I speak now as Computer Society Liaison to SCC20
and member of the CS Standards Board. What Dave suggests is not correct. DASC
is part of the Computer Society with a scope that does not include automatic
test equipment. TTSC has that charter and scope. In addition, the CS SAB
recently approved expansion of scope of SCC20 to make sure that ATML could be
handled under its auspices. Further, as an SCC, SCC20 was set up almost 30
years ago to handle the interests of three societies---CS, I&M, and AES.
ATML is clearly of interest to all three societies. If someone attempts to
bring ATML to the Computer Society, the SAB will simply refer it back to
SCC20---especially now that SCC20 "owns" the ATML architecture
PAR.
I beg your pardon; the mention of DASC was
a complete red herring, and I apologize. I did not mean that we should
move ATML to DASC, but that the Design Automation Technical Committee, the DATC,
could do technical work pror to standardization within the SCC20. The DASC
was a throwaway, and an inappropriate one.
The SCC20 is the appropriate venue.
The question is what comes before.
