    Action Items:

            - Kathy to jumpstart the 2-state/4-state naming summary with an email
            
    Summary:

    Minutes from last meeting approved.

    We went over the list of "what you can do" with the Cadence donation
    datatypes (from Kathy's email). The list should have included
    "connection to ports" in all categories. Assignment should be
    assumed to imply "passing as an argument" as well. We should enhance
    our discussion to cover default values and literal representations
    as well. One thing that SystemVerilog allows that the Cadence donation
    does not is type casting.

    We discussed the list of enhancement requests that the datatypes
    group might want to consider (from Kurt's email). We decided that
    the following issues belong in the datatypes subgroup:

        55, 61, 62, 357, 384, 385, 391

    We can use email to add others (which are not so obvious) to the list.

    We will use email to develop a summary of the issues on naming 2-state
    and 4-state datatypes, for submission to the BTF for consideration.

    The next meeting is Thursday, May 13.
