Meeting Summary:
===============

(1) Discussed the status of the Requirements
        Sub-committee. Two documents were mailed out to
        the entire committee. The first document contains
        a list of property language requirements that
        the sub-committee identified. The entire
        committee has been asked to review this list,
        and catagorize each requirements as 'E' -
        essential, 'N' - Nice-to-have, or 'D' - Drop.
        I've asked that this review process be completed
        by July 12.

        The second document contains a set of example
        properties which are referenced in the
        requirements list document.

(2) Discussed the agenda for the July 17-th Paris
        meeting:

        a. Decide on a voting process for our language
                selection.
        b. We need to decide what our strategy is after
                we select our language. In other words, do
                we take the language as is -- or will we
                merge elements from the other donated
                languages. And if we merge features--how do
                we validate its correctness? We need to
                define a process for this.
        c. Review Requirements and priority of the
                requirements--review essential requirements
                that are not support by the various donated
                languages (if any).
        d. Discuss Property Language Usage Models (do we
                need to form a sub-committee to look into
                usage? What is the process here.)
        e. We need to define what our next steps will be
                after language selection. Validation,
                documentation, e.g., language reference
                manual derivable, etc. We need to create a
                realistic schedule--when will we present our
                final language to the Accellera board for
                approval. Etc.?

(3) Roy Armon presented the Intel ForSpec language.

Best regards,

-Harry
