Hi Neil:

My ballot is below.

J.H.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

List of Mantis items for a Champion's email vote:
-------------------------------------------------
1. 2226  Approve the proposal                  Yes ___ No ___ Abstain _X_
2. 2088  "Conditionally" approve the proposal  Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___
3. 1900  Approve part2, pages 10-16            Yes _X_ No ___ Abstain ___

Rationale for abstention on 2226:

- The proposal is not aligned to Draft 6.
- 36.2.2, Note 4, says that vpi_free_object is deprecated.  We have discussed
  before that deprecated items should not be mentioned in the LRM body.  I'm 
  not sure whether it is admissible to mention a deprecated item in a note 
  like this.
- I agree with the concerns of Shalom and Stu about the conventions used for
  representing changes in this proposal and the large amount of locator text.
- In Part 2, 37.x vpi_release_handle, the following language does not conform
  to LRM style:

     It is erroneous to call vpi_release_handle() on an invalid handle and the 
     tool may crash.

  I think something like 

     vpi_release_handle() shall not be called on an invalid handle.

  is better.
- In Parts 4 and 5, should the comments about deprecated items be removed?
