Future Meeting Time
It was noted that time slots are a recommendation, not a requirement, and Friday is often open.

Open Discussion
- Guy: strive for charter that is sufficiently broad, general, flexible, to avoid difficult process of amending it later
- Tim: CX specs should support frugal implementations on bare metal MCUs
- Goran: CX specs should support fast (CXU and back in as few clock cycles as possible) and simple software support
- Jan: perhaps restore deleted "fast and frugal" tenet?
- Guy: ASIC adopters not necessarily interested in an FPGA interop logic interface
- Tim: original purpose to address need for standards-based interop and reuse of custom instruction accelerators, and TG should achieve that
- Jan: charter expects ISA extensions plural and non-ISA specs to be separate so relevant to simple MCUs and Linux OS scenarios
- Jan: recommend charter explicitly mandates, per spec, security assessment, forwards compat assessment, and demonstrated interop of reference designs for all components that are specified
