My apologies. I misunderstood.
I guess I have some questions, since I do not know
how standards work under a technical committee would function. The IEEE
indemnifies standards developers when work is performed under a PAR through the
Standards Association. Will DATC provide similar indemnification? Does DATC have
similar requirements for openness and consensus? How would this work? What IEEE
label would be applied to the work since there would be no draft standard
anymore?
We also have the issue of now having a PAR for an
ATML base standard. As such, IEEE-SA now "owns" ATML and the copyright on all
drafts.

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.
