3.  Action Items
--------------------------------------
  AI:  890 
      Arturo, Cliff : will work on the event scheduling portion.
      Doug    : rewrite the description of #1step in 17.3 (shouldn't be
too tough)
      Mehdi   : talk to svac about the change to #1step, review before
we vote.
      Francoise: Have steven give the committee feedback soon.
 
  AI: 1623, Heath: provide a proposal - timeunit and timeprecision.
 
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().
 
      ** This will be tracked as mantis 1576
 
    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.
 
         ** A new mantis item will be opened for tracking this.
 
    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.   Continue review and discussion on Mantis 890 and related mantis
items
--------------------------------------
 
   890  08-31-06  clarifications in program and clocking blocks (Doug)
     additional mantis items
       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.
      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]
       553 - Program block exit semantics (Sharp)
       551 - Program block interaction with queues (Sharp)
