Michael Mirmak convened the meeting.  No patents were declared.   Michael 
thanked Mike LaBonte for his support of the meetings over the past days 
while Michael was unavailable. 

During review of the minutes, Michael noted that the August 19 minutes 
incorrectly listed the meeting date as "August 05".  Walter Katz moved 
to approve the minutes.  Arpad Muranyi seconded.  No objections were 
raised.

In the last meeting, Mike accepted an action item to post completed BIRDs 
to the IBIS Open Forum.  Mike confirmed that he has submitted the I/V 
Clarifications "BIRD B" to the IBIS Open Forum.  It still needs a BIRD 
number, which Mike will assign.  BIRD D will become BIRD 182 or later.  

Michael asked whether these BIRDs are intended to summarize non-
Interconnect, non-backchannel changes.  Mike confirmed this.  Arpad 
asked whether these are is this restricted to ground clean-up efforts.  
Mike noted that there are no other 6.2 candidate BIRDs outside of A 
through M, BIRD 180 and BIRD 179.  

Mike pointed out that there would be a formal motion to include 
specific BIRDs in a version 6.2 release.  Creating a 6.2 draft may have 
been premature.  Walter agreed, stating that it was a good exercise, 
but the actual document may not be kept.  

Walter suggested that the committee, having provided the BIRDs, should 
“put ourselves out of business”; the individual BIRDs can be reviewed 
in the ATM task group.  Mike added that progress be closely followed 
to make sure they get finished and submitted.   He noted that the 
issues in BIRD K are already part of the known-issues list.  Walter 
suggested that making the changes in BIRDs or through the known-issues 
list doesn't really matter; participants will write BIRDs or not 
separately from voting on the final document.

Walter asked for his name to be removed from BIRDs G and I.  Radek 
Biernacki agreed to be part of G and I editing.  

Mike and Arpad asked when the Editorial task group should reconvene, 
assuming that it would suspend operations.  Walter suggested that this 
be left up to the chair, but that the meeting would certainly reconvene 
when all the BIRDs had been disposed of.

Walter moved to suspend Editorial task group meetings until BIRDs A 
through M have been disposed of, or until the chair calls for a 
meeting.  Radek seconded.  The motion carried with no objections.  The 
meeting is formally suspended. 

Michael accepted the action item to find July 8 and July 29 minutes 
and ensure they are posted.

Mike will to post a revised list of BIRDs.

Walter moved to adjourn. Radek seconded.  The meeting adjourned.
