+# Summary
+
+In earlier NLnet Grants, thanks to EU funding, we developed Draft
+SVP64 (a Vector Extension for the Power ISA), around a hundred
+new Draft instructions that dramatically improves the Supercomputing-class
+Power ISA, a Simulator, thousands
+of unit tests and over 350 pages of documentation.  What we could
+not do however was submit a Specification to the OpenPOWER ISA
+Working Group because the ISA WG was in the process of being
+ratified.  That has now been done, and we need to begin the
+formal process of writing up "Requests For Change" and submitting
+them. The end result will be an extremely powerful Vector ISA suitable
+for use in Digitally-Sovereign end-user products.
