Discussion:
a.	IBISCHK711 Executable Upload Progress: Bob is working on acquiring 
additional executables for more platforms. [AR] Randy will schedule a meeting 
with Steve Parker to discuss the best way to update the web pages. Bob has 
done some of the work for updating. There is an obstacle in that Graham Kus 
can't get the source code (until MathWorks pays for their license) for 
IBISCHK711 to compile it for maci and maca (MacOS architectures). Bob also 
requested some help to format and organize the IBISCHK user guide. This guide 
shows the complete list of errors produced by IBISCHK711. The existing 
document is a spreadsheet. It needs to be converted to a readable document 
format. Bob said that Graham volunteered to work on this conversion using some 
instructions that Mike LaBonte created.

b.	BUG227 – Root Name check (action deferred until work starts on IBIS 
Version 7.2): no work on this topic.

c.	Pending BUG regarding Platform in AMI (ask Atul for advice): The original 
problem was with an SO file. Can this issue be studied using a DLL file?

d.	Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) investigation (Security fixes 
continuation), (TSCHK2, BUG6): no work on this topic.

e.	TSCHK2 V2.02 BUG5 and BUG6 (implementation on hold)

f.	Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion: Weston 
presented his work on adding topics into the the IBIS Quality 3.0 
specification. The group discussed some of the topics to add possible 
clarifying statements in the document. [AR] Weston will send the working 
document to the attendees for review and comments.


Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
 - None


Bob moved to adjourn. Randy seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 1:02 pm ET
