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

   - Chuck/Michael.  ACCEPTED


3.  Reviewed minutes for 04/09/2008
     Chuck/Bassam.  ACCEPTED

4.  Liaisons

   - Face to face on Checkers in SV-SC.  Made a lot of progress.
     Made a number of changes.  Some proposals will be written up
     next.  Talked about a bunch of new sysvlog assertion specific
     additions.  Should have a new draft out soon.  SV-CC will need
     to review when it is available.  Champions will meet tomorrow.
   - Michael reported on the new working group in Accellera about
     interoperability issues.  Meets at the same time as this
     committee.  Will not collide with ours, but we should be sure
     to not modify our meeting plans without letting them know.
     VPI Interoperability technical committee.
   - No other meetings to report on.


5.  Consent Agenda


6.  Expedited Agenda Items


7.  New business

   - Shalom's request that we review Annex K.

     Tell editor that the intent was that it be normative.  Need to update
     page 7 as well.  Michael moves to have the chair tell the editor that
     the text is intended to be normative and ask that the editor modify
     the grammar accordingly.  Chuck seconds.  ACCEPTED.  Chas to send
     request.

   - Lisa's questions on the bind command
     Bind command acts during elaboration.  By the time we get to when VPI
     operates on the data, they are no longer relevant.  So, bind is not
     required.  Doing decompile is not a high priority issue.  Bassam has
     adequately responded to Lisa.

   - Finish review of Items with Champions feedback
     2094 JimV moves that we accept proposal as updated.  Chuck seconds.
          ACCEPTED
     2054 Abi move that we accept proposal as update.  Michael seconds.
          ACCEPTED

   - Mantis Item 1000
     Chas to ask editor to fix typo.  Chas to ask SV-BC to consider the
     proposal.

   - Type Parameters proposal from JimV
     Change is large enough that it should wait until the next round of
     balloting.  This proposal is what Cadence is planning to do.  It
     makes type parameters as a new VPI object type.  It would be nice
     if we could agree on it to get it into the standard.  Chuck moves
     that we ask the P1800 committee to allow us to consider JimV's
     proposal.  Abi seconds.  JimV pointed out that he also has a proposal
     where the change is dealt with using properties.  ACCEPTED.

   - Chuck again brought up the issue of using the 2009 terminology and in
     compatibility.

8.  Reviewed items with proposals


9.  Reviewed SV-CC items with proposals (Straw poll only)


10.  Old Business

   - Chas to double check in draft 5 that Item 0417 was implemented properly
     Chas did double check.  It was not, so I reopened it and sent it back to
     the editor.

   - Chas to enter Mantis Items for Krzysztof Konopko's questions

   - JimV to file a Mantis Item to correct wording of note 4 and note 2
