1.  Reviewed Patent information

   - Chas reviewed the patent information which can be
     found at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt


2.  Approval of agenda

   - Chas pointed out that we may go in a different order than the agenda.
     JimV/John.  ACCEPTED


3.  Reviewed minutes for 03/26/2008

   Chuck/John.  ACCEPTED.


4.  Liaisons

   - Chas reported on P1800 meeting.  New committee to deal with Checkers.
     Big change for the LRM, so it is important that we have a representative
     from SV-CC to address VPI issues.  Initial meeting will be on Monday.
     Bassam may attend.  Chas thinks that Francoise may join.  She did not note
     the email with the invite.
   - No other meetings to report on.


5.  Consent Agenda


6.  Expedited Agenda Items


7.  New business

   - Item 1503 27.33 VPI diagram of propertyinst has no vpiArgument
     We had thought that identifiers should have been modeled more like
     io decls.  Jim suggested we go back to adding a vpiTypeSpec for prop formal
     decl and seq formal decl.  Remove the vpiExpr and what it points to with a
     dotted enclosure for type spec.  Same thing for seq formal decl.
     Rest of the changes seem to be okay.  Abi and Chuck were still not clear on
     the proposal.  Jim tried to explain.  Bassam pointed out that there can be
     an initialization expression.  Was that what vpiExpr was for?
     Looks like we need another proposal before we could accept this one.  Bassam
     will try to put together another one for next week.

   - Item 1599 API and VPI changes for 0805
     Done.

   - Item 1757 accept_on/reject_on (Doron Bustan)
     Jim: VPI split out into 2336. It is about accept_on/accept_off
     Erik: VPI changes are minor in 2336. We can review now.
     Chuck: Assuming Doc and PDF are same.
     Jim: 2100 includes acceptance of 2336.
     Abby: moves to accept
     Chuck: seconds
     PASSED

   - Item 2005 Glitches with immediate assertions (Erik Seligman)
     Erik: this has been approved based on friendly amendment
     Review amendment at end of proposal changes with #define to verify where
     it is supposed to be.
     Chuck: Motion to accept
     Bassam: Seconds
     PASSED

   - Item 1898 Explicit mappings from assertion system tasks to callbacks (Bassam Tabarra)
     Bassam: If no argument then at system level, otherwise it needs to pass
     to specific assertion.
     The on/off is for individual enable/disable, kill is same, etc.
     In section 19.11, SV-AC added tasks to individual enables/disables. This
     corresponds.
     Chuck: there is no complimentary tasks/callbacks on enable non vac, and disable vac
     Bassam: there is no complimentary
     Jim: confirms and comments as this changes default behavior of system
     Jim: looked at 19.11 and confirmed that there are no system tasks
     JimV/Bassam.  PASSED (unanimous)

   - Item 2336
     accepted

   - Item 2100 Synchronous aborts (Yaniv Fais)
     SV-AC should make the names consistent between the items 2100 and 2336.
     Move to approve these two items contingent on SV-AC reconciling the names
     of the operators.  Chuck/JimV.  PASSED (unanimous)

   - Item 2173 Add case construct for properties
     Bassam suggests that this one be addressed by the new committee.
     Erik will make sure that it is on the new committee's agenda.
     JimV pointed out that the new syntax is circular.

   - Item 2237 VPI additions for 1667
     Abi asked if vpiNoDirection was already defined.  Yes it is.
     Chuck moves that we accept this contingent on the proposal reflecting the
     changes we requested for Item 1503.  Bassam seconds.  PASSED (unanimous)

   - Item 2250 VPI changes for LTL operators(Erik Seligman)
     Need to make vpiNextOp vpiNextTimeOp.  Erik thinks it would be good to have
     someone review it in detail before next week.  JimV has already started looking
     at it.  JimV moves to accept.  Bassam seconds.  PASSED (unanimous)

   - Item 2246 VPI definitions of assertkill need modifications (Lisa Piper)
     No proposal yet.  Bassam does not think there will be VPI changes.

   - Item 2326 Case property statement VPI
     Related to 2173.  Should go to new committee too.

   - Chas asked if there were any others.  Erik doesn't know of any others.
     Chas asked that Erik double check to make sure that there are no others.

   - vpiArray issue in Item 1942
     Chuck thinks that there is still an issue here.  Chuck will capture the issue
     in a new mantis item.

   - Review Item 1465 (per Shalom's request)
     Francoise asked about the direction of a port.  There is vpiNoDirection.
     Can that be used in this case?  If it is not explicitly specified then it
     takes the direction from the preceding one.  It does have a direction.
     Only time we would have no direction is for interfaces and modports.  What
     if we had a null port at the beginning?
     Suspended debate until next meeting
