Mike LaBonte conducted the meeting.

Call for patent disclosure:

AR Review:

  - Done

- Mike change text of 5.2.16 to require basis documentation
  - TBD

- David produce response to JEITA
  - 38% done

New items:

Web sharing:
- Mike will try using MeetingPlace for our next meeting
- The IBIS Open Forum will be using this too

5.2.18.	[Receiver Thresholds] Vth, Vth_min and Vth_max complete
- Moshiul: Maybe we should add an example to this
  - Mike: Maybe an example would be better in 5.2.19, not 5.2.18.
- Mike: IQ has no check for [Receiver Thresholds] Voltage_Sensitivity
- We wondered what simulators do with this information.
- Bob: IBIS is just conveying data from the JEDEC spec.
  - IBIS does not say what to do with it.
  - Moshiul: Agree
- We discussed the exact meaning of Vth_min and Vth_max:
  - Bob: SPICE will only produce a single value for Vth.
  - Kim: is Vth_min/Vth_max a process variation?

AR: Mike send out 1.1z version of IQ specification

AR: Moshiul write an example of [Receiver Thresholds] Vth_min/Vth_max
