    I have made the following groups for our discussion:
    a) String questions:
        Errata: 197, 203 (Per Dave Rich request to delay for next
meeting)
      271 Incorrect example of assigning a string to a register in
Section 3.7

    b) Randomization/constraints/randcase
        4 Add rs_rule precedence and example in Section 12.16
        175 Ambiguous ordering of random variables
           211 Add clarifying example to builtin / scope randomize
      260 distributions and constraints solving
      261 randcase width rules inconsistent with Verilog
      262 randcase unclear on negative weights
      263 wide randcase weights
      270 User need more information when the randomize method fails

    c) Coverage
      6 Description of query and inst_query methods
      172 assignment of values to fixed bins is not specified
      251 multiple user defined bins for cross
      252 default bin of a coverpoint in cross
