  c) P1800 meeting (November 9th) summary
     - Next draft schedule and time line
     - Resolving all mantis items per above time line 


3. Action items review
---------------------------
  November 6 2006:
     Doug  - rewrite the proposal for mantis 890 based on our agreements
      ?    - rewrite the description of #1step in 17.3

Action items: Previous meetings
 AI:  follow-up to mantis 978
    Neil - rewrite unique(), the first 2 sentences appear to be
contradictory. 
	 - Make sure that it is clear that array elements are returned. 
	 - Add some examples for unique().
    Neil - Array reduction methods can operate on arrays of non-integral
values
	  when a with clause is specified, as long as the type of the
expression
	  is an integral value.
    Gord - re-write section 5.15.4 - only the default argument value
makes sense.
    Dave - what order is used for find and find_index 
          (e.g. traversal is left to right of the bounds,
		associative is min to max)
        - 5.15.1 - change last sentence in first paragraph.
   All  - can anyone come up with a realistic example? (last example
5.15.4)
        - not only where you would need it but also what does it mean.

4. Name Resolution sub-group update
------------------------------------
 
5. Discussion on the face-to-face meeting and its related mantis items:
--------------------------------------
   a) Agreement points.
   b)   890  08-31-06  clarifications in program and clocking blocks
(Doug)
     additional mantis items
	236 -- should be resolved... ##0
	239 -- will close  it  
	597 -- AC ; close this one
 	608 -- being clarified.
	609  --- association of clocking block,  need a syntactic form.
    and 
      1325 - was closed by SVAC - unnamed clocking blocks
      1615 - was approved already - allows fork/join_none within
functions

      564     Cross-program variable access (Sharp)   [recommendation:
to close]
