           Continued Review of entire IQ_DOCUMENT.TXT

Continued IQ document review @ 5.1.13 where we left off last time.
Focused on checking levels and parenthetical comments.
Bob H. did on-line editing of document during the call.
We concluded that number of internal stages (5.13) and the internal 
stimulus (5.14) is useful information if available, but do not want to 
unnecessarily create additional burden to the model maker. Kim 
volunteered to reword these sections and we may move these comments at 
the end of the document.

AR Kim to reword 5.13 and 5.14

Bob H. walked the committee through the major points and concerns in the 
correlation section. The intention is not to re-write the ibis accuracy 
handbook, but instead to leverage off of key pieces, include a reference 
and to minimize duplication of effort.

Some of the difficulties is the Ibis Accuracy Handbook deals with 
correlation of both spice and bench simultaneously. Additionally there 
is the concept of a correlation level depending on how much effort the 
model developer plans on putting into the correlation effort.

The committee members are asked and encouraged to review the correlation 
section and comment back to Bob H. We will initially leave out the 
graphics so that a text only version can be distributed.  Eventually 
graphics can be included to better describe some of the checks.

It would be useful to generate a example model that implements the 
details of the IBIS quality checklist and document. Once this is 
completed the document and example could be presented to the IBIS open 
forum for a broader review. The committees goals would then be met.

Bob Ross suggested Bob H should give a tour of the IBIS Quality Document 
at Designcon East, similar to what was done with the IBIS Accuracy 
Specification in the past.


Next meeting continue review and correlation section comments and 
re-review any areas of concern.
