Hi Barry,
It is great that you want to lead this. I am not sure if you have actually looked into any of the IBIS Accuracy work that was headed (and still is) by Greg Edlund. I was on the original committee that defined this and did a paper at Designcon with Bob
Haller in 1999. I think that you may find the accuracy spec as a good starting point, because it seems very similar to what you are proposing, though it may not be all encompasing.

I would be willing to put my 2cents in, or help out to that extent.

Take care,
Peter
