===|----------------------------- 09/16/04

Agenda:
-------

- Review IEEE working group rules
- Complete priority assignment
- Start review of proposals

Minutes:
--------

1) Arif recalled IEEE rules of conduct. All are aware of them and
agreed to proceed.

Reminder:
Deadlines:
09/01/04 - Closure of errata list
09/12/04 - Prioritized list of errata sent to P1800
12/01/04 - Closure of errata list forwarded to P1800.


2) Prioritization of errata:
----------------------------

Assignments from last meeting:
Ed: old 11 issues plus #230
John: all JH and HM issues
Bassam: #228, #229.

Surrendra: corrections and clarifications as immediate priority,
enhancements as low priority. Entered issues handled by Ed.

John: completed prioritization and provided proposals as tar - html
files attached to the item for those entries that are not
enhancements.

There is only one potential enhancement in the group handled by John:
#196. Hillel: The change would be to allow optional type on formal
arguments to sequences and properties. It was assigned low priority to
be discussed when all immediate cases are done.


3) Preparation of proposals:
----------------------------

John has completed proposals in html. Hard to access. 

Proposal: Provide the proposals as pdf or text files. Accepted by all.

All proposals should be completed by the next meeting. 

Assigned proposals the same way as prioritization was with the exception that:

 - 228 will be handled by John.
 - 132 is an enhancement - low priority
 - 137 does not seem to make sense, provide a clarification only, no
       change to LRM.

Reviewed the following proposals: 176, 177, 178
   Voting to take place at the next meeting on 9/29.

Issue 179 tabled because it needs some reflection by the committee members; 
it shall be discussed at the beginning of the next meeting.


4) Next meeting: Thursday, 09/30/04 at 9am PT
---------------------------------------------

5) Meeting adjourned at 9h55 am PT.
