Notes:
------

- Reminder of IEEE patent policy.

Ballot results
- 1682:  Future value functions [DK]
  . Ballot failed.
  . DK will revise today and JH will call for a vote to close on 2007-12-24.
- 1900:  Checkers [DK]
  . Ballot failed.
  . The equivalence stated is not like other equivalences in simulation.  DK will
    rework the language.  JH says this is not equivalent for what we have been
    talking about requiring of the simulator.  ES says maybe they should be said
    to be equivalent for formal tools.
  . DK will also clarify the second example with local variables.
  . DK will add an example to illustrate using matched.
  . DK will try to revise in two days.  We will have 10-day ballot.
- 1995:  Assertions and checkers in for loops [ES]
  . Ballot passed, but with friendly amendments.
  . ES will modify and JH will call for a vote to close on 2007-12-24.
- 2005:  Glitches with immediate assertions [ES]
  . Ballot failed.
  . The proposal is already updated.  JH will call for a vote to close on 
    2007-12-24.

Old items:
- 1503:  VPI diagram of propertinst has no vpiArgument.
  . We will leave SV-CC to stabilize and pass this and then SV-AC can have a final
    look.
- 1683:  Relaxing rules for building multiclocked properties
  . JH will call for a vote to close on 2007-12-24.

Major items:
- 1932:  LTL Operators [DK, DB]
  . JM: There is still the issue of the rewrite rules in the formal semantics document.
    JM: It is not necessary to state that the transformation T is applied to a clocked
    sequence.  JM will write down comments on Clause 16.  DB:  Intent was to remove the
    part about leading clock and replace with 1.  JM:  It does not look as though 
    this has been done.
- 1667:  Local variable arguments [JH] -- proposal not yet ready
  . EC, DB volunteered to review the proposal.

General working items:
- 1729:  Immediate assume and cover [EC]
  . Proposal updated 2007-12-03.
  . MK will review.  There were changes due to 1641.
- 2088:  Covergroups for checkers [TT]
- 2089:  Allow checker construct to include final blocks with immediate
  assertions [TT]
  . JH will look for the revised proposals in the next two days and call
    for 10-day vote along with the 1900 vote.
- 1987:  Verification statement as defined term [DB review]
  . JH will call for an e-mail vote on this to close on 2007-12-24.
- 2091:  Clarify where concurrent assertions may appear [TT review]
  . LP will post the proposal and then TT will review.
- 2150:  Disallow reference to automatic variables in action blocks
  and subroutine calls [MK]
  . Manisha will post in the next day or two.
  . YF will review.
