AI: Matt to send ballot by May 13 for review during next meeting.

<ul type="circle"> <li>5531 - [[https://accellera.mantishub.com/view.php?id=5531]]</li> </ul>
4679 is related and should be addressed simultaneously.

DaveR could not find restrictions on Xs or Zs in cover bins. Examples use 2-state types but 19.5.4 makes reference to Xs and Zs.

Consensus that a bin can have 4-state, except auto bins.

Dave will work with others on a new proposal that covers 5531 and 4679.

<ul type="circle"> <li>5612 - [[https://accellera.mantishub.com/view.php?id=5612]]</li> </ul>

Question asked why the restriction was instituted. Brandon said that there was effort to keep many restrictions during initial specification and add new features later as the needs arose. Consensus in favor of this change.

Several drew issue with the new sentence. Consensus to drop the final clause starting with 'and is equivalent to…'.

Francoise to rework sentence and return with a new proposal.

<ul type="circle"> <li>5594 - [[https://accellera.mantishub.com/view.php?id=5594]]</li> </ul>
Reviewed Mark's latest proposal sent to the reflector.

Decided to only clarify which rules are for ANSI style port declarations and refrain from further wording due to lack of consensus on how to proceed.

<ul type="circle"> <li>3211 - [[https://accellera.mantishub.com/view.php?id=3211]]</li> </ul>

Dave says some offline agreement that when using module/scope: syntax, it is like saying module.instance. Consensus to proceed to match the instance name like a hierarchical reference, starting at the scope of the bind statement.

Dave to come back with a formal proposal.

9:40am PDT DaveR moves to adjourn. Arturo & MarkH second
