We have augmented our ballot spreadsheet with several new columns that we hope will make it easier for the P1800 committee to formulate a response to our ballot.  These consist of the following:

1. Severity.

This has been extracted from the Mantis database.  For

the most part, we have entered what we felt would be

the difficulty in implementing a solution within the

specification for this particular problem.

2.  Mantis #

This has been extracted from the Mantis database.  It

is the Mantis item number for the issue.  In all cases

(with the exception of those items in 1364 which are

not PTF related) we have entered the issue into Mantis.

3.  MUST FIX

These are the items which we feel are the most pressing

and would really like to see resolved before the standard

is finalized.

It should also be noted that many of the non MUST FIX items have a high priority.  These are things such as mistakes in include files.  Although they really must be fixed, most of the solutions are so minor that we felt confident that the committee would address them without additional emphasis from us.

The items have been sorted first by MUST FIX, then by priority, then by Mantis item.

Detailed comments on the issues and proposed solutions can be found within the mantis database.
