Mantis items:
=============
   * Owners, authors, please have a look at your assigned mantis items 
and move them to resolved if its been addressed/reviewed in the draft 
version 2 or earlier.
   * Any typo minor items that needs fixing (and got overlooked during 
chapter edits) please assign to Stu (user name stuart in Mantis) and 
ensure the new text is noted as part of the mantis item.


Time zones for calls in US summer:
==================================
   * We will go back to the timezones we followed last year. ie. 6:30am 
in US Pacific. Will send out full details of all different participating 
time zones.
   * This will be in effect from the 1st week of April as Europe and 
Asia-Pac havent yet changed the clock. Next two meetings (20th and 27th) 
will be 10:00pm Pacific.


LRM2.3 draft3:
==============
   * Stu will post the new draft version the coming week. We will start 
reviewing this on the meeting on 20th March.


Post LRM2.3:
============
   * Plan is to get LRM2.3 released as soon as possible with minimal 
changes from where we are at this point. Expect possibly another draft 
(draft4) after the current version which should almost be release ready.
   * Given that there are some key open items on the mixed-signal side, 
Marq proposed have two committees looking at the two threads - mixed 
signal issues, system verilog integration as part of P1800 dot standard.
   * In general, there was overall consensus to this proposal based on 
today's feedback and also based on feedback Marq had received. This will 
help two problems to be worked on in parallel, and there can be separate 
time lines. Where a particular issue has been addressed in SV, we will 
take that approach.
   * Marq will send out an email to the AMS reflector seeking feedback 
on which committee members will be interested post LRM2.3. Hopefully 
there will be enough volunteers to cover both areas.
   * Need more cross involvement with SV committee. Stu mentioned that 
"cross" is also a keyword in SV. But looks like this may not be a 
problem as 'cross' in AMS is an event that can be used only inside 
analog behavioral context and hence parsers can differentiate based on 
the context. Dave Miller is also going to check and confirm this looking 
at SV LRM.
   * There is a sub-committee under SV which is currently proposing to 
add 20 new keywords to the language. Stu is planning to send out the AMS 
keywords list to avoid new conflicts between the languages.


Next Meeting: 20th March 2008, 10p pacific.
