SG16 reviewed a draft of P2513R1 during its 2022-02-09 telecon. The following polls were taken.

• Poll 2: Add an Annex C entry and discussion to D2513R1, and forward the published
  paper as revised to EWG as a defect report.

  • Attendance: 8 (one abstention)

    SF	F	N	A	SA
    1	5	0	1	0

  • Strong consensus in favor.

  • A: Concerned about the different handling for pointers vs arrays; concerns
    increased as discussion continued.

Removing the SG16 label. @jfbastien, please schedule this paper promptly if possible as it is proposed as a C++20 DR.
