[Beeman Strong]

We are delighted to announce the start of the public review period for the following proposed standard extensions to the RISC-V ISA:

Supervisor Counter Delegation (Smcdeleg/Ssccfg)

The review period begins today, January 18, 2024, and ends on February 17, 2024.

This extension is part of the Privileged Specification.

These extensions are described in the PDF spec available at:

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-smcdeleg-ssccfg/releases/download/v1.0.0-rc2/riscv-smcdeleg-ssccfg-v1.0.0_rc2.pdf

which was generated from the source available in the following GitHub repo:

To respond to the public review, please either email comments to the public isa-dev mailing list or add issues and/or pull requests (PRs) to the GitHub repo. We welcome all input and appreciate your time and effort in helping us by reviewing the specification.

During the public review period, corrections, comments, and suggestions, will be gathered for review by the Smcdeleg/Ssccfg authors. Any minor corrections and/or uncontroversial changes will be incorporated into the specification. Any remaining issues or proposed changes will be addressed in the public review summary report. If there are no issues that require incompatible changes to the public review specification, the Privileged ISA Committee will recommend the updated specifications be approved and ratified by the RISC-V Technical Steering Committee and the RISC-V Board of Directors.

Thanks to all the contributors for all their hard work.
