2500

Discussion whether this is an enhancement. Several state this appears to be an omission.

MarkS moves to approve 2500.

MarkH seconds.

No opposed.

No abstain.

Motion passes.

4939

Reviewed -5 proposal. Last bullet appears to be converging. Focused on penultimate bullet about 4-state values. Version -5 adds reference to enum named values.

Jonathan would like the wording to be improved as he feels its meaning is still unclear. Agree that this should be addressed by a different Mantis.

DaveR would prefer to not update the bullet that discusses 'Constraints support only 2-state values'

General agreement that constraint wording can be improved but how appears to be beyond the scope of current work. Group aligning toward accepting only the final bullet in proposal 5.

Steven asked if wording needs to be added that clarifies how named values are converted to their numeric values. Enum named values used in expressions are already converted to their corresponding numeric value according to the LRM. Ray gave an example of a rand enum variable as applicable to Steven's point. Steven willing to drop this point if others are not concerned. Others confirmed that they are willing to omit this point.

Proposal -8 now only adds a new bullet.

Ray moves to accept proposal -8.

Justin seconds.

No opposed.

No abstain.

Motion passes.

9:59am PDT: Justin moves to adjourn

MarkH seconds
