04-Octobert-2007 UNAPPROVED Meeting Minutes

Hi Shalom:

My recollection of the discussion from the P1800 WG meeting was that
the SV-* committees must make lists by 2007-11-12 (date revised
according to suggestion by Matt) of all the Mantis items that will be
worked on during the extension periods.  The expectation was that any
item on the list of a committee must actually be in Mantis by that
deadline.

After the 2007-11-12 deadline, the committees are restricted in the
kinds of items not on their lists that can be addressed.  E.g., SV-BC
and SV-EC may work on merge, editing, and Champions issues.

Of course, this is my interpretation of the discussion and the notes.
