No patents were declared.  Minutes from Aug. 17 were approved without objection.

Michael Mirmak reviewed the latest draft revision, pass 2, of the reformatted IBIS 5.1 document.  The following issues were found:
-	P. 12 – the list of characters should be indented (Bob Ross) though the content is correct
-	P. 4 – the list of characters should be in Courier New (Bob(
-	The next pass should check for consistent usage of POWER, GND and NC, particularly in terms of quotation marks (Michael)
-	P. 26 – the figure requires editing; Figure 6 should distinguish pulse high vs. Vinl levels (Randy Wolff)
-	P. 51 – check the quotation marks on “typ” vs ‘typ’; similarly “max” and “Vcc” should be checked for consistency
-	P. 52 – “Vcc relative” should be checked for quotation marks and hyphens; Bob Ross suggested systematic rules for single and double quotation marks should be explicitly noted
-	P. 55 – “logic zero” and “logic one” need checking
-	P. 64 – Figure 11 uses “GND” vs. a ground symbol; this is inconsistent throughout the document figures
-	P. 77 – the figure should show a continuous current arrow
-	Figure 17 - node symbol is inconsistent; this is a document-wide issue
-	Figure 18 – the phrase “Receiver_model_RX” should be edited or removed
-	Figure 19 – the statement “Waveform @ Die” should be re-placed in the figure
-	Table 8 – dashes are inconsistent vs. surrounding tables; a colon may be more appropriate, particularly for Table 9
-	P. 100 – no figure should be used for the hierarchy of keywords, but this *is* a figure in Section 6C
-	In Section 6B, some corrections regarding module usage in the examples are still required
-	P. 118 – Figure 27 contains extraneous && and %% characters
-	P. 123 – Tables 13 and 14 require captioning

Bob suggested splitting up Section 10 into at least a 10A and 10B, to accommodate the previous portions of Section 6C.

For the next meeting, the review of pass 2 will be completed, after the team reviews proposals for Section 10 formats.
