---++ 1. Reviewed Patent information

- Chas reviewed the patent information which can be found at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt
---++ 2. Approval of agenda

Chuck/Michael. ACCEPTED
---++ 3. Review [[SVCCMeetingMinutes110928][minutes]] from last meeting (Sep-28-2011)

Jim/Michael. ACCEPTED
---++ 4. Liaisons
   * Francoise reported: 
      * Champions email votes going on with some large SV-AC proposals
      * SV-DC has approved AMS extensions that need VPI extensions 
         * These are not in the AMS standard
      * User defined net types also added by SV-DC.
   * No other meetings to report.
---++ 5. Consent Agenda
---++ 6. Expedited Agenda Items
---++ 7. New business
   * _MSC_VER 
      * Defines the Microsoft compiler version
      * Wait for Daniel to respond to what he is trying to accomplish then adjust the proposal for Item 3022 accordingly.
   * Item 3884 
      * Jim has put together a proposal to add VPI support for soft constraints
      * Response to 2987. 
         * Ability to override constraints in the base class
      * vpiSafe needs to be vpiSoft.
      * vpiSoftDisable also needs to be added to the include file.
      * The other proposal tries to distinguish that soft constraints in a derived class have a higher priority.
      * Jim thinks we should go for the more complex proposal.
      * Chas will add this item to the agenda for next time.
   * Item 3192 and Item 0757 
      * We addressed part of 0757 but it is not complete. Adding vpiExtern to the header file does not resolve it.
      * We could use the method in 3192 to solve this one too.
      * Adding a detail could solve it.
      * Chuck can put a proposal together for Item 0757 that will refer to the proposal in Item 3192.
   * Continue review of Item 3087 
      * Vitaly addmitted that it may be confusing that DPI-OO is more written for vendors instead of for the user. Putting the DPI-OO and DPI-C into the same Annex may cause confusion.
      * There are 3 major issues and several minor issues left to resolve.
      * Vitaly thought it might be useful to provide a flow diagram for the memory management.
      * We really need Arturo to discuss his issues.
      * Vitaly suggested maybe we could have a face to face meeting so we can make further progress.
      * George reported that Arnab is working on a response to some issue for this topic.
      * Francoise thinks we can make progress on the open array issues and the memory management issues.
      * The rest will need Arturo.
   * No other new business
