Mike LaBonte seconded. The minutes were approved without objection. Review of ARs: - Arpad Muranyi to add text to introduce his version of the Aggressor graphic. - Arpad report that this is not yet done. Michael asked if the drawing is in the current draft. Arpad replied that it is not draft15. Mike stated that both drawings are still in a stand alone presentation. He is hoping to add them in draft16. Mike stated that when Arpad introduced his figure in the ATM meeting he presented it well. Mike suggested for Arpad to add a similar text introduction to the document. Michael asked which version should be used as the working version. Walter Katz had sent out a draft16_v1 this morning, but he had only sent it out to a few recipients. Michael advised against having parallel drafts. Mike reported that draft16_v1 has minor capitalization changes. Mike noted that the draft15 that he posted to the website had some missing spaces corrected, but draft16_v1 did not include these fixes. Michael suggested to complete these fixes in draft16_v1. - Walter to change the phrase "Pin_Rail terminal" to "a terminal whose terminal_type is Pin_Rail". - Arpad reported that this is done in draft15. - Bob Ross to fix the reference terminal in the A_gnd example. - Aprad reported that he and Bob did complete this, but it is not yet in the BIRD draft. Michael suggested to add this to draft16_v1. Arpad asked who will add the example to the BIRD. Mike stated that he can add it. - Michael reviewed the order of edits: 1. Walter and Arpad to change the Pin_Rail, Pad_Rail and Buffer_Rail terminal phrases. - Arpad reported this is done. 2. Arpad to add the Aggressor graphic and text. - Arpad reported this is not yet done. 3. Bob to fix reference terminal in the the A_gnd example. - Bob reported this is done but not yet added to the latest draft. Aggressor Graphic: Mike showed the section where he would like to introduce the Aggressor figure and the sentence to introduce it. Arpad asked where his text for the second figure would go and if it would be best between the two figures. Mike thought that this would be best. Mike suggested for Arpad and himself to integrate the text in the latest draft. Opens: - None. BIRD189.5_draft16_v2 review: Mike noted that there is one comment in the document that needs to be reviewed. Arpad noted that this comment is done and can be removed. Bob asked if the capitalization of Terminal_type is done in draft16_v1. Mike replied that this is done. Mike will fix the missing spaces draft16_v1 [AR]. Mike commented that Ext_ref was added to the Rail terminal general description and rules sections. The PDN rail signal_names was changed to terminals per Bob's suggestion. Arpad requested to fix the square bracket on [Interconnect Model Group] on page 5. Michael asked if we can add the A_gnd examples to this version. Arpad suggested to use the version of the A_gnd examples he sent to Mike. Bob noted that the A_gnd examples should be added after Example 12 as Examples 13 and 14. Bob requested to use lower case for "node 0" in the description of the examples. Mike made these changes. Arpad asked to double check the red text in the Number_or_terminal rules section has been removed. Mike noted that this is done in draft16_v2. Arpad asked about the other red text sections and if these are included in the latest draft. Bob noted that the purpose of the red text in the A_gnd example document was to highlight where A_gnd is referred to in the BIRD. Michael noted that the only remaining items are related to the Aggressor_Only figures. Arpad suggested to go ahead and add the figures. Mike asked if it is okay to use Figure XX as the temporary numbering convention. Bob noted that the BIRD will have different figure numbers from the actual IBIS specification and these will be changed in Editorial. Mike added his Aggressor_Only figure introduction to page 29, the first Aggressor figure to page 30, and the second Aggressor figure to page 31. He also added a note for Arpad to add his figure introduction between the two figures. Walter suggested to have Apard's additions to review by next weeks ATM meeting. Bob commented on the text for the first figure and suggested breaking this up as separate paragraphs. Walter proposed for everyone to review the document off-line. Michael stated that if we get Arpad's changes, we can start the editorial review. Bob commented that we should be able to make changes as part of the editorial review. Mike stated that we have put a lot of review work in on BIRD189.5 and should be ready to submit it to Open Forum. Walter noted that we are in comment resolution mode and change requests should be sent in writing. Michael commented we will have one more Wednesday meeting next week, and we could hold a vote to submit BIRD189.5. Bob stated that we could introduce the BIRD in next Friday's Open Forum meeting. Michael noted that he would like to hold a vote in this committee before submitting to the Open Forum. Mike asked if we can post the version with Arpad's changes as draft16. Michael replied that the key is to have one document to call BIRD189.5. Bob noted that we can formalize it in Wednesdays meeting. Mike will send out both draft16_v1 and draft16_v2 [AR]. Arpad will send the version with his figure text as draft16_v3 [AR]. Next Meeting: The next meeting will be January 24. Mike moved to adjourn. Arpad seconded. The meeting adjourned without objection.
