    Hello,

    Johny Srouji suggested that we follow a convention for tagging
    datatype-specific emails under sv-bc, to make it easier to filter
    and organize our mails. I think that this is a great idea. I have
    put a "[sv-bc] DataTypes:" at the start of the subject line for
    this mail, and I will do so for the background mails as well.
    We can agree on a different convention in our first meeting
    if people have other ideas.

    I met with Matt Maidment to discuss how to get resolution on
    a "nets on datatypes" extension by Dec. 1. I have appended
    a schedule that we agreed could get our primary objective
    accomplished. We can discuss this at our first meeting.

    >Initial net datatype work covers 2 areas:
    >1) Extending syntax and semantics for net declarations
    >2) 2-state net semantics
    >
    >The first area is the primary goal of the subgroup.
    >The second area is a stretch goal of the subgroup.

    >Proposed Schedule:
    >Nov 4 - last day to call for future face-to-face meeting
    >Nov 11 - first draft of proposal
    >Nov 15 - special edition sv-bc meeting to review proposal
    >Nov 18 - second draft of proposal
    >Nov 22 - vote on proposal if possible
    >Nov 30 - third draft of proposal if needed
    >Dec 1-3 - special edition sv-bc meeting for a final vote if needed
