poster was sent by Bob Ross.
MISCELLANY/ANNOUNCEMENTS
vhdl.org was compromised by hackers and was pulled off the network.
This disrupted the IBIS reflector as well as links establised from

on getting the server up and running.
Jon Powell has sent out a message thru the alias list extracted out
from the IBIS reflector
Bob Ross(Chair)was unable to attend teleconference due to health reasons.
Several members were concerned of his absense.

PACKAGE COMMITTEE REPORT
None. Concerns were highlighted by various participants regarding
BIRD36. These were the use of SPICE models to describe connectors
over the new syntax described by BIRD36. Many felt that SPICE was
more appropriate and are readily available and IBIS syntax need
not be created again to model connectors.
More disucssion regarding this will be held during the summit meeting.
BIRD40 - SPECIFICATION ENHANCEMENT(vote)
No vote was taken as qorum not established
other technical discussion:
---------------------------
Various discussions were held regarding an upcoming BIRD from Arpad
about Quick Switch. Modeling of series devices with FET switches was
the concern.
