New IBISCHK bugs:

  - There is inconsistently across checks in how messages are formatted.
- Mike: The open bugs are low priority.
  - These can wait until IBISCHK7.
- Bob: If a serious bug comes in we can address it early.
  - We might also do them early if they would slow down IBISCHK7.
- Mike: The four open bugs look easy to fix.
- Bob: We have to watch out for new bugs the fixes might introduce.
- Mike: Beginning development ASAP after IBIS 7 approval will help.
  - Having the contract ready early as we did with 6.1 would be a good idea.
  - We could begin after BIRD set approval and before spec approval.
- Bob: We could start sooner, assuming what will pass.
  - It is easy to delete from the contract later.
  - BIRD 189 will require much documentation for the developer.

AR: Bob and Mike draft contract for IBISCHK7.0.0
