-------------------------------  MINUTES  -------------------------------------
Bob Ross conducted the meeting.

Call for IBIS related patent disclosures:
 - None


Call for opens:
 - new bug regarding C_Comp_Model_Mode


Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the 09 AUG 2022 meeting were reviewed. Randy moved to approve
the minutes. Lance Wang seconded. Without objection the minutes were approved.


AR review:
 - None
   
New ARs:
 - Bob will start a bug report with a test case for bug235.
 - Weston will review and collate the quality checklist, specification, and
   parser messages related to [Pin Mapping] and package models.


NEW ITEMS:
Bob noted that BUG234 appears to never have been classified. A classification
was suggested, but never officially declared. Randy said that it should have 
been classified in the open forum meetng the week he was absent. Bob 
recommends to present it at the next open forum meeting since it is included 
in the upcoming parser development contact. Randy said that the bug was 
officially classified in the last open forum meeting. The notes just need to 
be updated to show the correct classification date.

Bug235 (unofficial number) regarding subparameter c_comp_model_mode missing
is not checked in the parser. The subparameter is always required, but the 
parser does not issue an error when it is missing. Other text in place of 
c_comp_model_mode is ignored when it should create an error. Randy has a test 
case file to modify for the bug report. Bob suggested starting with the 
existing file in the parser development tests. Bob reminded the group as part 
of test development that when [C Comp Model] exists the [C Comp Corner] 
keyword is required. 

Bob suggested that as an update to the parser contract, maybe we can add new 
bug235 to the contact. This bug is a fault on the part of Atul that this 
check is not already included in the parser. The contract is still in the 
signature process. Atul requested the latest spreadsheet of error messages 
and source code links. Bob sent those links to Atul. 

There was no additional discussion of the quality checklist. Weston needs to 
review and coordinate the existing checklist and parser messages.
 

Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
  - IBISCHK security fixes

Weston moved to adjourn. Bob seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 12:39 ET
