-------------------------------  MINUTES  -------------------------------------
Bob Ross conducted the meeting.
Weston Beal recorded the minutes.


Call for IBIS related patent disclosures:

Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the 11 April 2023 meetings were reviewed. Weston Beal moved to 
approve the minutes. Randy Wolff seconded. Without objection the minutes were 
approved.


Call for opens:
 -  Mic Schader sent an email to Lance saying that he is not able to attend 
    this meeting for a couple of weeks but has some input for the IBIS Quality 
	specification regarding power-aware models.


AR review:
 - Weston will download the ibischk7.2.0 and check using the -caution flag, 
   the EMD files that Randy sent previously.
   done
 - Weston will check with Atul on the idea of 2 error or warning messages for 
   loading AMI executables.
   pending


New ARs:
 - Bob and Randy will create 2 bug reports for the EMD NC signal issues.


Discussion:
a.	IBISCHK720 – Test Randy’s 7.2 Files – Done
    Bob also checked the files that Randy originally sent out. Randy updated 
	the test file and provided it to the open forum for testing of the changes 
	in the parser. Randy described the 3 test EMD files to show the different 
	cases of using NC pins in the [Designator Pin List]. There is another 
	statement in the specification about not using a designator pin of 
	signal_type NC as a terminal in the EMD Model. We don't have an example of 
	this to test. Randy created and tested this case during the meeting and 
	found the parser issues a caution. The group agreed that this should be an 
	error, since it is in direct conflict with a requirement in the 
	specification. [AR] Bob and Randy will create 2 bug reports for these 
	issues.

b.	Generate other executables, upload on IBIS Site, After IBIS OF approval,   
    distribute Source Code to License Owners
    Bob stated that he will go ahead and submit the parser for approval by the 
	open forum with the notification that there are 2 minor errors as 
	described above.

c.	Pending BUG regarding Platform in AMI – Weston Beal will investigate 
    further and possibly propose two messages, one for static library, one for 
	dynamic library (We are waiting for a response from Atul.)

d.	Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion (continuation)
    Mic Shader will contribute to this work in a couple of weeks.


Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
a.	Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) investigation (Security fixes 
    continuation), (TSCHK2, BUG6)
b.	TSCHK2 V2.02 BUG5 and BUG6 (implementation on hold)


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

Meeting ended: 12:56 pm ET

Next meeting 25 APR 2023
