   * Motion * 2nd: [[../../view.cgi/Main/DavidKoontz][DavidKoontz]] * [[../../view.cgi/Main/JarekKaczynski][JarekKaczynski]]
   * Email vote on <a target="_top" href="../../../../vasg/docs/p1076_wg_pp.pdf">Operating Procedures for P1076 Working Group</a> has passed
   * Reminder: Please list your self in the <a target="_top" href="../../view.cgi/P1076/VhdlRoster">working group roster</a>
   * Review <a target="_top" href="../../view.cgi/P1076/Vhdl2019CollectedRequirements">collected requirements list</a> 
      * Identify items to vote on.
   * Continue discussion of language change requirements.

---++ Hierarchical Namespaces
   * AI: Chris (and others) Add more use cases 
      * Help justify the proposal from a business sense (why will a user buy this)
      * Help justify the proposal from a user sense (why will a user demand to have this)
   * Make sure that we can keep major library independence by using work as a top level library reference 
      * library work.packet.ethernet ;
      * use work.packet.ethernet ;
      * Jim Added examples to proposal - please revise as necessary

---++ Record Introspection
   * Transformation between a composite and a vector (single dimensional array)
   * Extend so that composite = record, multidimensional array, or array of arrays
   * Important that it can support vector elements of any type (std_ulogic or integer)
   * Iterating over record elements
   * AI: Chris: Find a title that expresses this
   * AI: Chris: Add detail to use cases
---++ Type Introspection on Vector Literals
   * Vectors can be used to create an "argv" like set of values to an interface (such as a subprogram).
   * To effectively use this capability within an overloaded subprogram environment, we need introspection of vector literals
   * AI: Jim Write initial proposal
---++ Action Items:
   * All: Take ownership of items in the Raw Requirements area of Collect Requirements and write proposals
      * [[http://www.eda.org/twiki/bin/view.cgi/P1076/Vhdl2019CollectedRequirements][Collected Requirements]]
   * Chris Higgs: Extend Record Introspection to include transformations between composites (record, multidimensional array, or array of arrays) and vectors
   * Chris Higgs: Add use models to both proposals
   * Chuck and any other: Comment on proposal formats
   * John Shields: Coordinate development of requirements template
   * Jim: Forward Procedures and Policies to DASC
   * Jim: Write proposal for Type Introspection on Vector Literals
