Notes:
------

- Reminder of IEEE patent policy.

- Discuss clumping of votes and running them Tuesday to Monday. 
  . We will continue call individual votes and send in individual ballots.
    We will follow a policy of calling votes on Tuesday to be due the 
    following Monday.

Old items:
- 1533:  LRM not clear about types of local variables.
  . State change to "resolved,duplicate" (of 1668) failed due to lack of votes.
  . Ready to vote?  
    - JH will call for e-mail vote.
- 1549:  arguments
  . Discuss passing of property_spec to property argument.
    - We decided to eliminate the suggested capability to be able to pass 
      a literal property_spec as actual arg.
  . Ready to vote?
    - JH will call for an e-mail vote.
- 1648:  Default disable iff
  . Ready to vote?
    - Lisa Piper made changes.  
    - MK will review LP changes.
    - LP raised question about name resolution not ascending about 
      module boundary.  JH is worried about whether this is correct 
      for nested declarations.
    - We are not ready for an e-mail vote.
- 1757:  accept_on/reject_on
  . Ready to vote?
    - JH will call for an e-mail vote.
- 1898:  Explicit mappings from assertion system tasks to callbacks.
  . Failed due to negative vote.
  . Ready to vote?
    - JH will call for an e-mail vote.
  
Major items:
- 1932:  LTL operators [DK, DB]
  . We will take strong/weak out of Table 6-25 and add a note ...
  . We need to decide if accept_on/reject_on should be lower what 
    - JM says in PSL the higher precedence is needed because the 
      abort is postfix and you don't want to grab, say, the antecedent
      of a suffix implication in a typical case.
  . Ideas to consider:
    - until should be higher than |->.
    - until should be higher than always/eventually.
    - always/eventually should be lower than |->.
    - Consider making next lower precedence than |->.
- 1683:  Relax rules for building multiclock properties [DK]
  . We talked about removing the connection with global clocking.
  . There will need to be more relaxation than what is in the 
    proposal to align with PSL.
  . There is a problem with eliminating the requirement of unique
    leading clock for top-level properties -- this impacts the notion
    of when attempts start.
- 1900:  Checkers [DK]
  . DK is still addressing comments from Jonathan Bromley.  Then the
    proposal should be reviewed.
    - LP and BT will review.

General working items:
- 1503:  VPI diagram of propertyinst has no vpiArgument [BT, LP]
  . Needs review?
    - BT has reviewed.
  . Ready to vote?
    - JH will look for a mail later today.
- 2033:  Sequences and properties declared in generates [DK]
  . Needs review?
  . Ready to vote?
    - JH will look for mail from Dmitry today about the update
      and call for an e-mail vote.

We did not get to these items:

- 2005:  Glitches with immediate assertions [ES]
- 1995:  Assertions and checkers in for loops [ES]
- 1756:  Control of assertions in initial blocks [EC]

- Other items

DK will lead the next two meetings.
