TOPIC: IR 2109 Inter-process communication can hang unnecessarily

It was noted that the current design of protected types was intended
only to provide a mechanism for exclusive access to shared data. It
was not intended for modeling IPC.

Peter supplied an email which analyzes this problem as an instance of
interprocess communication issues related to transaction level
modeling.  Since an extension to the language will be needed to solve
this general problem, we will forward this as an enhancement request,
instead of trying to deal with the specific example.

Chuck will incorporate Peter's comments and forward as an enhancement
request.

ACTION: Chuck to forward.

TOPIC: IR 2099 Alias declarations introduce homographs

Peter provided suggested rewording which makes the definition of
"alias-equivalent" unnecessary. He also examined his wording in light
of two examples, one which should be legal, and another which should
be illegal.

Chuck will incorporate Peter's wording and examples into a "final"
analysis, simplify the problem statement to make clearer, and submit
to the ISAC for an email vote.

ACTION: Chuck to revise and submit for ISAC vote.
