Notes:
------

- Reminder of IEEE patent policy.
- E-mail ballot on 1731 passed.
- E-mail ballot on 1599 underway.
- 1681:  Global clocking [DK] 
  . Dropped all context inference from global clocking
  . No synchronization guaranteed.
  . TT, JH will review in the next few days.
- 1361:  Control exec of action blocks [MK]
  . LP will look back at this.
  . JH will look over it.
  . JH asked DK to try to fix the font problems at the end of 1361
    document.
  . Then we should be ready to vote.
- 1768:  All match semantics [LP]
  . LP will revise according to the comments regarding "disable" and
    cover sequence.
  . There are not other known issues.  After this, we should be ready 
    to vote.
- 1549:  Semantics of arguments [Argument Subcommittee & JH]
  . DB updated to eliminate $var on untyped arguments.
  . JH:  I'm not sure that the flattening procedures make it clear that
    context arguments are not typed.  This should be easy to fix.
  . JH still needs to fix minor English problems.
  . Discussion of the local variable declarations, JH will send an
    example to illustrate what we need to check if we do not uniquefy
    the local variable identifiers.
- 1668:  Local var initializers [JH]
  . YF, EC will have a look.
  . JH:  There may still be an issue regarding not changing the 
    strength of a property when attaching local variable declaration
    assignments.
  . JH will post a document on the formal semantics today.
  . DK will look at the formal semantics part when it is posted.
- 1728:  Let proposal [EC & DK]
  . TT, LP reviewers.  TT has not finished the review.
  . TT:  Motivation is clearer, still need to look at the examples.
  . LP:  Found a number of little things, mostly  minor.  
  . EC will review the feedback.
  . BT:  VPI diagram draft is there.
  . LP:  Does anyone know if SV-BC have tried to address this with
    functions with untyped arguments?
  . JH:  I guess we would have heard about that.
- Other items [to be added to our active region].
  . People should review the items assigned to them and decide if any
    are subsumed by items that have already been resolved.
- 1900:  Checkers
  . Erik wants feedback on whether this sort of feature will be 
    welcomed.
  . TT will have a look.
  . LP will have a look.
  . YF will have a look.    
- 1932:  LTL operators
  . DK:  Align regular expression properties to PSL.  Other operators
    are analogous to PSL operators, but with different syntax.
  . DK:  In formal semantics, accept_on and reject_on are accounted for.
  . JH:  Will read both Clause 16 and Annex F parts.
  . LP:  Will review both Clause 16 and Annex F parts.
- 1757:  accept_on, reject_on
  . YF will review.
  . JH will review.
