---++ Meeting Agenda
   * Continue to Review Interfaces from [[2015_MeetingMay14][May 14, 2015]]
   * Interface Requirements 
      * Support RTL synthesis
      * Support Testbench
      * Bundle related data items/objects 
         * No bundle wide operations - ie: assignments
      * Abstract behavior - potentially via subprograms
      * Simple - would allow support via translation
      * Views of an interface
      * Support generics
      * An entity supports multiple interfaces
      * Defaults for interfaces that will not prevent optimizations
      * Interfaces and/or bundles must work on subprograms

   * Priorities 
      * 1: Bundles for RTL
      * 2: Support everything that a ports support
      * 3: Interface with the kitchen sink
