6.      New Issues

8.      Proposal: rationalization of faults in patterns.
Amy proposes that the MEPs can be simplified by observing that there are 
only two rules for faults used in the patterns [.1].  By listing these 
rules separately and only specifying which rule a given pattern uses, the 
patterns can be simplified.  David Booth strongly seconded the proposal. 
We will leave it on  the agenda for next week, as attendance is low this 
week.
