I will not be able to attend most or all of the champions meeting. I
have reviewed each proposal and here are my votes and comments

Champions agenda for the December 20th meeting:

As of today (Dec 15th) there are 36 Mantis items in the Resolved state. 
27 of these are ready for review by the Champions. A summary of the 
status of the remaining 9 is shown at the bottom of this summary.


1.  2222 SV-BC  Completely incorrect statement in 6.5 about variable
ports
    - No change required
    - Unanimously approved via e-mail vote closed December 10, 2007
OK

2.  2217 SV-BC  Name resolution - hierarchical and member select rules
    - Fixed
    - Approved on December 3, 2007 with one abstain.

      Abstain: Shalom (not completely satisfied with placement 
		       nor term "directly visible")
OK - "directly visible" is clear if you read the next bullet

3.  2215 SV-EC  LRM isn't clear enough on ways that a default
specialization 
    	        is constituted
    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved by SV-EC in November 26th conference call
OK - friendly amendment has been uploaded

4.  2214 SV-EC Interaction of imports, $unit and bind are unclear

OK 

5.  2211 SV-EC  typedefs are required for some type references
    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved by SV-EC in November 26th conference call. 
OK

6.  2178 SV-BC  BNF error in constant_primary
    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved via e-mail vote closed December 3, 2007
OK - proposal should say that inner braces should be red. It does say
that in the simple description.

    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved via e-mail vote closed December 3, 2007

    - Fixed
    - December 3, 2007 the SV-BC unanimously approved
Abstain. I'm not too happy with the term 'non-indexed' part select. It's
really dual index or single index with a width

    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved by SV-EC in December 10th conference call.

		for and foreach loops
    - Fixed
    - Unanimously approved via e-mail vote closed December 3, 2007

No. The first added sentence is missing a word that changes the behavior
of the paragraph.

This creates an implicit begin-end block around the loop, containing
declarations of the "loop" variables with automatic lifetime.

"loop" is missing in the in the indicated position. It is correct in
section 12.7.3. 

11. 2152 SV-BC  Bogus statement re. force/release behavior in 6.5 
    	        "Nets and variables" needs rework

Stu, 
	       Brad, Karen, Don
      Opposed: Shalom - wording unclear. Text is not ordered well.
      Abstain: Cliff  - would like to review Shalom's objections.
OK. I would like this passed, even though another proposal may overtake

lebvel.

objects
    - Fixed

it. The objections are not strong enough to be rejected at the chapions
lebvel.

property 
    	        declaration scope
    - Fixed
    - Unanimously passed by voice vote 2007-11-27. 
OK

17. 1957 SV-BC  Macros: ambiguous whether empty arguments can be used
    - Fixed

tasks 
    	        to callbacks

    - 2007-11-20: e-mail ballot passed, 6y/0n/0a
? Is section 19 the right place to be explaining VPI behavior?

    - Fixed
    - The SV-BC unanimously approved the attached proposal via e-mail
vote
      that closed December 10, 2007.

No. I believe the magnitude of this enhancement goes beyond the PAR and
should be implemented and donated before approving.


24. 1533 SV-AC  LRM not clear about types of local variables in 
    	        properties and sequences
