Reviewed Patent information. - Charles Dawson reviewed the patent information. 2. Reviewed minutes of the 02/01/2006 Meeting. - Ralph/JimV. ACCEPTED (unanimous) 3. Liaisons - No other committee activity was discussed. 4. New business - Review of response to P1800 on merging the two Specifications. Francoise asked if we should include some of our reasoning. Chas noted that it did not include how we voted. Jim and Francoise discussed the timeline. It won't take us 2 years to do this, but we need that much wall time to get everything we want done. How about including some of the comments from the minutes? Abby moves that we reference the minutes in our response. Ghassan seconds. APPROVED (unanimous) - vpiEndColumn and vpiColumn issue brought up by Francoise Chas recalls us discussing this during balloting, and that Bassam thought it was important that they remain. Michael thinks these are to help figure out what caused the state change. Abby doesn't think that it matches the other way things are done. This needs to be looked at more carefully. At the very least, these need to be added to the include file. Michael will provide Francoise an example. Francoise will file a Mantis item and work with Michael on a solution. - Unpacked array argument index correspondence brought up by Doug Ralph things that Doug will be writing up a proposal on this, and that he would like another 2 weeks to investigate this issue further. JimV asked Andrzej to send out his reasoning for why it should be the opposite way. - 1327 and 1328 Abby pointed out that there are proposals for these. Chas will add them to our agenda for next time. 5. Reviewed of items with proposals. - Item 1307 An open array is not like a multidimensional dynamic array JimV/Ralph.
