Next Meeting:
  The next meeting will be a teleconference on Tuesday, 3/2/99,
  from 9-11 am PDT.
Details:
  1. Review action items
     Steve distributed an update to the taxonomy for the parasitic
     boundary conditions.
  2. Discuss face to face meeting after TAU '99
     We agreed to meet from 9-12 am (PDT) on Wednesday, March 10th.
     The meeting will be held at Cadence's Seely Ave campus in Building 7,
     the Sausalito conference room.  There will also be a simultaneous
     teleconference.
  3. Review general syntax rules
     We discussed the BNF syntax from Dave Barton; there were no
     new changes.
  4. Review scoping, precedence rules, defaults
     We discussed the mail from Mark.  There were no issues with
     the mail itself, but Bob Dilly raised concerns about case
     sensitivity, which led to a discussion on namespace issues
     in general.  Mark took an action item to follow up with some
     experts within Cadence.
  5. Discuss operating conditions
     We agreed to reassign this action item to Mark, since he
     recently investigated it for GCF.
Thanks,
Mark
