       - Draft a straw man proposal using a clean slate with no concern for
         existing PLI/VPI on the best way to represent all Verilog and
         SystemVerilog kinds and types. This straw man will then be used as a
         basis for discussing backward compatibility with the existing reg, net,
         variables, functions, and parameter diagrams. It may be decided that
         full backward compatibility is not possible, or is not the best approach
         moving forward.
       - Stu to resign to VSG as chair of PTF.
