   * Review [[IssueScreening][ISAC issues and Bugzilla]]
---++ Record IO
   * Simple Bundles - maybe enough for RTL design 
      * Wishbone and variants use a model of a single master and single slave and handle arbitration between multiple masters and multiple slaves in an interconnect block - which simple bundles would handle just fine.
   * Variant Bundles - nice but benefit may not justify cost of complexity
   * AI: Ryan/Andy to mold current discussion to a proposal
---++ System Verilog Interfaces
   * Solve simple bundles
   * has a concurrent code region 
      * use for assertions / monitors
      * testbench behavior
---++ Record Closely Related
   * Similar to closely related array types define built-in explicit type conversions (using type name)
   * AI Ryan
---++ Record Introspection
   * May need new owner or additional owner as Chris is busy on other things
---++ Multidimensional Array Restructuring
   * Multidimensional Array to Single Dimensional Array
   * Single Dimensional Array to Multi
   * Who?
---++ Generic Subprograms
   * Specify generic in call of subprogram.
   * Would be uniform wrt to generics on protected types.
   * Would work as an alternative to an anonymous type on a subprogram.
---++ Anonymous Types on Subprograms
   * May be a burden on run-time. Require pass by reference.
   * Trade off with generic subprograms - advantages? Lighter syntax
---++ Next Meeting Date (proposed):

Thursday August 2, 8 am Pacific
