BACKGROUND

The IBIS Users Group (IBIS East) has been formed under the leadership of
Dr. Edward Sayre from North East Systems Associates, Inc. (NESA) and has
been meeting to consider and forward IBIS model user concerns. As a result
of East coast meetings, the group has developed an IBIS Accuracy Handbook
document and has initiated the project to format Connector Models. These
topics plus others of current interest to the EIA IBIS Open Forum will be
discussed at this meeting.

This meeting will be conducted as a formal IBIS Summit Meeting. Presentation
are expected to be available and archived in an electronic format, and minutes
of the meeting will be issued. Any pending formal decisions (votes) will be
announced at least two weeks prior to the meeting.
