5. Next meeting (July 31st)
[also appended: mantis items without proposals listed by submitter]

3)=====================================
Action items: June 26, 2006
-------------------------
  AI: 889 Ray  take out "and shall treat it as a state variable". last
paragraph.
  AI: 889 Mehdi will update mantis with a new .pdf with the latest fix
by Ray.
	   (so that the red/blue shows up). 

  AI: 978  Neil	update the proposal - 
   5.15.1 add the new paragraph here, or even earlier.

  AI: 978 Dave: mantis item for partitiong constraints for array locator
   	methods.  ---> new item 1517 (Enhancement)
  AI: 1330 Gord - new language proposal to handle the port connection
issues.
  AI: 1330 Dave - examples via email on the issue with ports in
interfaces

  AI: 1424 Neil - update the proposal and update with the same changes
for c.5

Action items: June 5th, 2006
-------------------------
   AI: 1313 Gord - make an update to item 3. to use "intersection"
terminology.

   AI: 889 Arturo - create a mantis item describing how to handle the
null
	  handles for class, to be included in 13.3
          Next to last sentence can go away -- blue in proposal.

   AI: Ray - redo 889
	use a different process for updating this mantis item, so that 
	we don't continue to have problems seeing the new text and the 
	strike-outs.
	rewording: in general dynamic array does a resize with
initialization
	of elements. same effect as x=new (random size )

  AI: 1382 Ray - update the proposal with our feedback.
	add text afterward for the discussion text 
  AI: 978 Neil - update 5.15.3, one sentence - 

          "Array reduction methods can be applied to any unpacked arrays
of 
	  integral types.

Action items: May 22, 2006
-------------------------
   AI:  889 Ray - redo 889 proposal
Action items: May 8, 2006
-------------------------
   AI: 976  Dave - put a proper proposal in place
   AI: 960  Mehdi - discuss this with Matt to resolve the overlap.

Action items: April 10, 2006
-----------------------------
   AI: 1330 Dave, add the example   list to do.
   AI: 261/262 combined
        Steven   put together some examples of overflow  --
        Arturo   unsigned/signed examples.      
Action items: March 13, 2006
----------------------------
  AI: new item - Gordon to create a new mantis item for randomize()
method 
 	call item (Ray, Gordon have discussed - still working on it
internally)
