New ARs:


Discussion:
a. (BUG245)_dratf1: Discuss BUG245 regarding Platform in AMI and proposed
   message that replaces has platform issue
   Weston presented the draft of the bug report for feedback. Bob said he will 
   clean up the formatting of the report and submit it to the open forum for 
   approval.

b. BUG244_draft3: Randy Wolff’s write-up based on Arpad Muranyi’s original 
   concern discussed on May 2, 2023.
   Randy showed the latest draft of the bug report for review and comment in 
   the meeting. This draft added some comments regarding how BUG228 was 
   implemented. There is currently some inconsistency in the error reported if 
   an IBS file is checked directly or if checked when referenced from an EMD 
   file. The bug report shows the conditions to not generate some errors in 
   certain conditions and add the generation of an error E0730 when 
   appropriate. The group discussed the potential logic change in how the 
   parser checks by version requirements. Randy made a test case that 
   introduced an error in the IBS file that was unrelated to the EMD 
   compatibility behavior. The current checking logic is what we expected.

c. Quality Specification and checklist power aware discussion.
   Arpad Muranyi provided feedback to Weston about the package model topic. He 
   suggested that the specification should describe the pros and cons of the 
   different levels of package modeling. Weston asked the task group about 
   this recommendation. The group agreed that this addition is a good idea. 
   Weston will add some details to the package model section of the 
   specification. Weston asked to submit the specification to the open forum 
   this week.


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)


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

Meeting ended: 12:55 pm ET
