    Summary:

    Minutes from last meeting approved.

    We still don't agree on the interpretation of "reg" (datatype or object
    kind or both). This issue should be documented and taken to the BTF.

    We discussed how to handle two state nets. A new approach was suggested.
    We could always treat a net as 4-state in "network" contexts (resolving
    value, timing checks, etc.), and convert the net's value to two-state
    when reading it elsewhere. Could this approach be taken for variables too?
    We will explore 2-state on nets some more and work on documenting
    alternatives for the BTF.

    We will not meet the week of DAC (June 10).

    The next meeting is Thursday, June 24.
