AR review:
 - IBISCHK720 – Test Randy’s 7.2 Files, Randy Wolff and Bob Ross work on two 
   BUG reports related to a Warning for a legal syntax and a Caution message 
   for an [EMD Pin List].
   Done - BUG241 and BUG242
 - Bob will ask Atul about the warnings reported by the compilers and possibly 
   create a different bug report.
   Done email - need a bug report to include in next development contract.
 
New ARs:
 - Bob will create a bug report to correct compiler warnings as far as 
   possible.
 - Weston will create a bug report to correct the text of the AMI executable 
   error to not say architecture but error in loading library.
 - Bob will upload the BUG241 report to the website and submit for approval at 
   the next open forum meeting.
 - Randy will search for a test case to use for a bug report about [IBIS Ver] 
   in an IBS file referenced from and EMD file.

Discussion:
a. IBISCHK720 - BUG241 draft4
   Randy sent draft3 to Bob and Bob edited it to make draft4. In essence, the 
   report changes removes 2 of 4 error messages. Bob's edits are to make text 
   and test files consistent with the bug number which is now assigned.
   [AR] Bob will upload the bug report to the website and submit for approval 
   at the next open forum meeting.

b. IBISCHK720 - BUG242 draft4
   Bob edited the report to show assigned number and make consistent names of 
   test files. Randy noted that currently there are 2 caution messages and 
   only one needs to be changed to an error. Bob will change this and create 
   draft5. The error applies to IBIS Ver 7.2 and later, because BIRD218, the 
   change to restrict NC pins in terminal lines was added to IBIS 7.2.

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.
   [AR] Weston will create a bug report to correct the text of the error to 
   not say architecture but error in loading library.

d. Graham Kus Mathworks Warning message during architecture compile with:
   “<file name> warning: variable ‘<variable name>’ set but not used 
   [-Wunused-but-set-variable]  Michael Schaeder may provide some feedback 
   concerning gcc compilation.  Curtis Clark’s suggestion.  Bob get direct 
   input from Atul.  Note, linux and Windows messages are different.
   [AR] Bob will create a bug report to clean up code.

e. Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion and [Merged Pin] 
   interactions (continuation).  [Merged Pin] checked and is working properly.
   Weston needs to clean the draft document and send to the task group for 
   review.

f. Continue discussion on BUG228 message regarding Arpad Muranyi’s issue 
   introduced on May 2, 2023.
   The task group discussed this issue. The consensus is that the parser 
   should not check the actual [IBIS Ver] of the referenced IBIS file, but 
   check compatibility of the referenced [Pin Mapping] with the calling EMD 
   file. This will require a new bug report. [AR] Randy will search for a test 
   case to use for a bug report.

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. Randy seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 1:00 pm ET
