      As you may have seen from the minutes of the P1800 meeting, the P1800
    WG group approved the continued work of all the P1364 task forces
    including PTF.

       - Chas to write up new proposal for PTF 120.
       - Francoise to remove "+" from tags in UML diagrams and
         add vpi prefix where appropriate.
       - Francoise to send out HTML for 1364-2001 diagrams, using

       - Francoise to write proposals for PTF 373, 374, and 396.

       - All to review Generates proposal from ETF committee.

       - Chas to write proposal for PTF 296.
       - Stu to write an addition to the proposal for PTF 342.
         This will cover that PLI 1.0 was deprecated in section 20
         and include some of the stuff currently in section 21
         (like the descriptions for the checktf and calltf).
       - Chas to fix and try out example in PTF 329.
       - Francoise to lookup wording for PTF 524 in VHPI.
       - Tapati to research the use of the index field in the
         callback structure for the case of MDAs.
       - JimV to try to rework proposal for PTF 530 to address other
         issues we found in 26.6.17.
       - Chas to add errata item for 26.6.15 (has similar problems
         to 26.6.17).
       - Francoise will open a new PTF issue to look for situations like
    25.6.15,
         where multiple methods are used access the same object enclosure
       - JimV will write a response to Shalom explaining how
         vpiConstType is used differently in different situations for PTF
    562.
       - Chas to reword proposal for PTF 525.
       - 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.
       - Tapati will file a PTF item for the clarification of what can be
    done
         at ROsync time and putting values in future times.
       - Francoise to file a PTF item that asks to specify the order that
    iteration
         occur in, when the order is important.
