Hi Everyone,

I had an action to review all the correspondence and meeting minutes, and
come up with a list of items for which it was agreed that the discussion
should be deferred to SystemVerilog 3.1.

Here is the list based on every email where I could spot a potential item.
Note that in some of these cases we had made decisions, but it appeared
more work was required and had been proposed for 3.1.

Please review this carefully. Feel free to either add items that I might
have missed, or clarify issues. Note that this is not a set in stone list,
but an attempt at starting a schedule of items to be discussed. I am sure
there will be more and we can add these as the committee sees fit.

Cheers

Dave

Cliff, Aug01 - Deprecation - recommendations made in 3.0, but we need to
decide how much further to take this and if their are other items

David S, Aug01 - Time precision and timescale in general - did we finally
settle this?

Kevin, Sep01 - Data Channels (seems similar to interfaces - this may have
been based on a mis-understanding)

Kevin, Oct01 - Force Release extensions for strength etc, if
assign/deassign is to be deprecated

General, Nov01 - State Machines - need to be re-examined

Kevin, Nov01 - Extern modules - connected with $root discussion
