I sent these notes out on 2008-02-19, but Dmitry seems never to have

Ballot results and discussion
. 1686 Assertion evaluation does not wait on subroutines
  - Passed.  JH already moved to resolved state.
. 1830 BNF does not have sequence methods
  - Passed, minor friendly amendments.
    . Voice vote 6y/0n/0a to approve friendly amendments.  JH already
      moved to resolved state.
. 1900 Checkers
  - Passed, friendly amendments
  - BT had friendly amendments.
  - Other comments from Shalom.  Almost all have been addressed, but 
    new friendly amendments came today and have not been implemented.
  - This proposal needs another vote.  DK to do changes tomorrow.  Then
    we can revote.  DK proposes splitting into two documents.  Changes
    at beginning of Clause 3 need careful attention.
  - DK will send instructions on how to compare word documents.
  - DK will revise and send e-mail.
  - We will try to voice vote this on 2008-02-21, and if that is not successful 
    we will call a short e-mail vote to end on 2008-02-25.
. 1901 Identifier for ## should be constant
  - Passed, friendly amendment from DK, font change and underscore.
    Voice vote 6y/0n/0a to approve friendly font change and underscore.  EC will 
    update the document and post on Mantis.  JH will then move to resolved.
. 2069 Formal semantics for coverage
  - Passed.  JH already moved to resolved state.
. 2100 Synchronous resets
  - Failed due to negative vote.  Also there were friendly amendments.
  - People didn't like the operator names.
  - Change to sync_accept_on, sync_reject_on.
  - Plan to voice vote this on 2008-02-21, and if that is not successful 
    we will call a short e-mail vote to end on 2008-02-25.
. 2173 Property case
  - Failed due to negative vote.
  - Friendly amendment from DB.  Equivalence symbol missing in formal semantics.
  - Discussion of semicolon goals.
  - YF will try to revise the VPI without breaking backward compatibility.  Then
    JH will call another e-mail vote.
. 1698 Semantics of sampled value functions outside assertions
  - Failed.
  - JH needs to rework, post and call for another e-mail ballot.
    . Discussion of the "maximal" condition.  TT wants condition 2) folded into
      condition 1) and an example for clarity.
    . There were several rewriting requests.  JH indicated the rationale for
      using the language that talks about simulation timesteps and occurrences 
      of events rather than "clock ticks".
    . Some other friendly amendments need to be addressed.
  - EC raised issue about whether static variables may be referenced in sampled
    value functions.  This is not discussed in 16.8.3.  JH will add a statement
    that restricts the variables referenced to be static.

Old items
. 1503 Assertion VPI changes
  - Is SV-CC still working on this?

Working items

  - We'll let this one go for 2008.
. 1687 Wrong equivalence with $isunknown
  - Voice vote 6y/0n/0a to approve.  JH will move to resolved.
. 1786 Annex F semantics for if-else wrong (fixed in 1932)
