> What remains to be done:
>
> 1) Full open forum must comment and changes if any included

> 2) It must be voted on and approved by the open forum.
> 3) A Golden parser must be written to insure that models developed

> golden example models provided by the connector sub group must be
> improved to comply with the current specification.
> 4) Existing connector model creation and simulation methods should
> be enhanced to support the new IBIS connector format.
> This might effect connector manufacturers as well as CAE tool suppliers.

> This is the end of a nearly 2 year project for the people involved.
