AR Review:

  - Bob and Mike will bring this up at the IBIS open forum Friday
  - There will be a second caution message related to a bug95 mistake

  - Done

- Moshiul write a check about documentation of [Model Selector]s
  - Done

New items:

- none

Continued review of IQ specification:

Recent changes to 3.3.4 and 3.4.1 were approved.

3.4.3.	{LEVEL 2} [Model Selector] entries have reasonable descriptions
- We made a few language cleanups.
- Moshiul: DDR3 has external resistor to control termination, for example.

3.4.4.	{LEVEL 2} Default [Model Selector] entries are consistent
- We made a few language cleanups.
- This check makes 3.4.2 obsolete

AR: Mike delete IQ check 3.4.2

Bob noted that [Model Selector] this is not a component feature
- Can't have 2 [Model Selector]s with the same name under separate comps.
- We should make [Model Selector] a separate section (currently 3.4).
- This would become section 4, [Model} would become section 5.
- We would have to find and change references to specific sections 4+.

AR: Mike renumber the IQ spec so that [Model Selector] is new section 4

Roy said that he has cleanup suggestions for the IQ spec.
- He could send those in a document.
- We probably will clean up the document last.

AR: Roy send cleanup suggestions for the IQ spec

David is seeking feedback on his 5/14 email

AR: All review 5/14 email from David Banas and email any feedback

Next week we will review [Receiver Threshold] checks
- Mike noted that 3 of these have no text at all

AR: David consider adding text to 4.2.21, 4.2.23, 4.2.25
