RE: ITC Meeting Minutes for May 26th

It has been pointed out to me that Matt meant only the actual "call" of a
DPI function
should be made on controlled clock edges. No problem with that.

I misread it to mean that the infrastructure generated should be synchronous
using
controlled clock as well (I think the 'or' threw me off)

Sorry. I'll slow down and read more carefully.
