Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the 27 SEP 2022 meeting were reviewed. Bob Ross moved to approve
the minutes. Randy Wolff seconded. Without objection the minutes were approved.


Call for opens:
 - None


AR review:
 - Michael Mirmak supply acceptable security fixes for IBISCHK7 for BUG report
   Remains open
 - Bob Ross ask Michael Mirmak about Atul's request for DLL for Platform issue
   Bob asked Michael at the Open Forum meeting.  Michael was not sure he would 
   be able to share the DLL with Atul.  AR remains open, as Atul is not able to 
   fully debug the issue without the DLL.
 - Weston Beal work on inserting power aware rules into the Quality Specification
   Remains open
 - Weston Beal check ibischk7 V7.1.1 for relevant power aware checks
   Remains open
 - Weston Beal send draft IBIS Quality spreadsheet with added power aware checks
   Remains open


New ARs:
 - None


Discussion:
IBISCHK711 status including BUG237
Recently classified BUG237 will be included in the 7.1.1 release.  Atul confirmed this.

BUG227 – Root Name check (action deferred until work starts on IBIS Version 7.2 
Bob noted no discussion until we start on IBISCHK Version 7.2

BUG228 – Version 2.0, Version 7.0 message differences for bus_label violation discussion
No update on this BUG from Atul, but Atul said he had fixed all bugs.

Pending BUG regarding Platform in AMI
Waiting on Michael Mirmak for further progress, either to share the DLL or an equivalent 
one that can be shared with Atul.

Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) investigation (Security fixes), (TSCHK2)
Randy suggested we work with Atul and Michael Mirmak to create a simple process once we 
begin working on security fixes for TSCHK2.  The process may be as simple as saying we 
follow certain security protocols such as using secure functions and preventing buffer 
overflows as well as getting feedback from parser purchasers on potential security issues.

TSCHK2 V2.02 BUG5 implementation plan (on hold for any new BUG report)
BUG6 is classified now and includes security fixes for an SDL process.  We can get a 
quote from Atul on the cost for a new TSCHK2 parser implementing BUG5 and BUG6.  Atul 
will have to investigate if secure functions used for Windows will work in Linux.  
Randy asked if we would ask for a quote after IBISCHK7.1.1 is completed.  Bob agreed 
this would be the timing.  Randy noted we may ask for a quote for IBISCHK 7.2 parser 
development around the same time.

Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion (continuation)
No discussion


Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
