	Shall we move the substantive meetings to Wednesday & have
	the draft reviews (if needed) on Thursday?  This would aid
	in a scheduling conflict that has come up for Prof Kahan
	this year & others have mentioned it might make it easier
	for those who fly into these meetings to schedule their
	return flights.
		Yes.


	Let us determine dates & venues for our meetings for the
	rest of the year.  (After the meeting, Eric Postpischil of

	Any volunteers for the permanent position of 754 secretary?
		Dick Delp


	Prof Kahan wishes to speak to defaults & their effect on
	debugging issues.
		http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/wkahan/
		Wants double extended or quad available for debugging &
		reducing the probability of round off error induced bugs
		into the noise.  This & humane exception handling must
		be mandatory.  And redirecting rounding direction.


	Jeff's group will present the result of the rules committee.
	You can find their revised version at either of:

		http://754r.ucbtest.org/pnp-0.8.html
		http://nonabelian.com/754/PnP_0_8.htm
		This is our draft of the rules given to us by the MSC
		as approved for IEEE committees & working groups that
		report to the MSC.  Largely the removal of entity &
		meta-comments together with some small modifications.
		Some questions came up in 4.1 about the signing of a
		Copyright Assignment Form "prior to active participation
		and/or voting in any working group meeting."  Prof Kahan
		suggested replacing Assignment with Release & go on.
		In 6, "All officers shall be..." changed to "The chair
		shall be...".  After MUCH discussion we changed an
		'after' to 'upon'.


	Our PAR (754Revision) expires December 2006.  Bob Davis
	will explain what we need to finish by then.
		Must be available for the October MSC meeting &
		need to ask for a sponsor ballot by the July MSC.
