Minutes

IEEE patent policy reminder

Minutes approval

Ben: mention about closing 2578 and 5584 is missing from the minutes

Email ballot results

Issue 3672 passed, but there were comments from Shalom who was not a valid voter. It was decided to address his comments and revote.

Ed asked from everybody to look closely at his proposal to avoid redundant ballots.

Mantis 3117: make it clear that rewriting algorithm (F.4.1) applies to checker and let

Manisha: The proposal is ready to vote. Writing a separate proposal on let.

Opens

Dmitry: Created Mantis 5623 requesting clarification of non-degeneracy.

Manisha: Current formulation is confusing: there is an impression that only sequences admitting only empty matches are allowed in the antecedent of a non-overlapping implication.

Dmitry: What about: “It is legal for this sequence to admit only empty matches”?

Shalom:

Submitted items 4022 and 3555. They are ready to vote.

Ben:

Suggest to close 2578 and 5548

Dmitry: Suggest the following reason for closing 2578: “The existing definition of vacuity is satisfactory for practical applications”. I am opposed to close 5548 because it is about adding a reference to non-degeneracy from implication property description.

Samik: Will create a Mantis to improve the language 17.5 Checker procedures. It will be possible to call to vote when ready since this is an editorial change.
