  . JH to ask about editorial issues.  What are the rules for fonts of property_spec, 
    etc.?  What can we leave for the editor to take care of?
  . JH will call for vote.
- 1549:  Semantics of arguments [Argument Subcommittee & JH]
  . JH still needs to fix minor English problems.
  . Need to think about whether introducing the local variable
    names into the formal syntax breaks anything.  Requiring them to be
    unique should be o.k.
  . Otherwise this will be ready to vote.
- 1668:  Local var initializers [JH]
  . EC reviewed Clause 16 changes.

  . Clause 16 changes look acceptable.
  . DK, DB to look at Annex F changes.

  . TT, LP reviewers.
  . Relation to 1601.  
  . TT has some comments to finish and send out.  
  . EC will respond.
  . JH will then have a look and the next step is to call for vote.
- 1932:  LTL operators
  . Feedback from LP/EM
  . DB will review.
  . People should send in comments on suggestions for alternative syntax.

- 1757:  accept_on, reject_on
  . YF, JH to review.
  . JH did not yet review.
  . YF to send email about one issue in the Annex F part.
- 1900:  Checkers
  . LP sent some comments 
  . DK and EC sent some responses with motivating example
  . TT:  Can you allow regular reg, wire variables inside checker?
  . DK:  You cannot assign a free variable to a module variable.
    Vice versa is o.k.
  . ES:  Free and module variables are available now, the module 
    variables coming through the checker ports.
  . Some discussion of usage.  DK would like other people's comments
    and suggestions.  Other ideas can still be accommodated.
