Minutes

IEEE patent policy reminder

Minutes approval

Ben: Move to approve the minutes from 1-Jun-2016.

Ed: Second.

Motion passed: 6y/0n/0a.

Email ballot results

Issues 3147, 4154, 4881, 5302 passed: 5y/0n/0a.

Issue 4557 failed: 4y/1n/0a

4557: Typos in clause 16

Ben: Need parentheses for clarity. Also, better to use let instead of `define/

Shalom: let vs `define is a separate issue. Parentheses are not necessary and need to be consistent.

Dmitry: Parentheses more appropriate from the syntactic point of view.

Anupam: There are more examples with parentheses.

Dmitry: There are several issues here:

• Need to define `true on this page because it is non-standard and defined as part of one example in 16.7 only.
• This example `true ##3 (a [*3]) does not make much sense because it is equivalent to #e a[*3] and just exhibits a bad style. Need to replace it by a ##3 (b[*3]) for clarity.
• Next example (a ##2 b) [*5] should be rewritten as
  (a ##2 b) ##1 (a ##2 b) ##1 (a ##2 b) ##1 (a ##2 b) ##1 (a ##2 b)
  for consistency and clarity.

Mantis items in progress

2546: 'empty match' and 'vacuous success' are not clearly defined in LRM.

Ed: Need to review the proposal.

Dmitry: Since there are no volunteers to review, I will call to vote.

Opens

Erik will chair the next meeting.
