Propose Issues for E-mail Vote due June 8?

+ 2380 (http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=2380)
BC would like to comment further.  
AI: Matt to send e-mail to EC reflector stating BC will investigate further.
AI: Matt add to agenda for full discussion on June 8

+ 2720 (http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2720)
Related to 2663.  Proposal: deal with 2663 and close 2720 or use the 
consensus on 2663 as the interpretation of instance names on 2720 
(i.e. that any bind instance name is a top-down hierarchical name 
in the design).

AI: Matt track down submitter 2720 to ask for more information.
Is this a misunderstanding/interpretation of current specification or a 
request for new behavior?

+ 2663 (http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=2663)
Consensus:  Other than the instance path of bind statements, hierarchical 
references are not allowed in $unit.  Path is resolved by assuming the 
path starts with $root if the path does not explicitly use it.

AI: Steven to write a proposal for 2663 based on the consensus of limiting
to bind statements.

+ 2664 (http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=2664)
Appears to be addressed by response to reflector
http://www.eda.org/sv-bc/hm/9384.html

AI: Shalom to make a proposal to clarify that $unit is not a package 
except where specfically noted in the LRM.

+ 2665 (http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=2665)
Based on Shalom's intended response to 2664, 2665 should no
longer be possible.

AI: Matt add 2665 to agenda whenever 2664 is resolved.
AI: Matt add relation to 2532

+ 2593 (http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/view.php?id=2593)
Steven willing to address some ambiguities raised by Shalom.

+ 2678 (http://www.eda.org/svdb/view.php?id=2678)
Has tentative proposal, but not a consensus yet.
AI: All review 2678

11:00AM Cliff moves to adjourn.
