- Opens for new items
Eckhard discussed Design con IQ and general observations from DATE
    DATE IBIS SUMMIT Meeting went very well. 22 people from 11 different
companies were  represented. Only one EDA vendors was present.
Presentation on IBIS quality went well.A number of folks were unaware
there even was a quality checklist and were anxious to obtain and use
it. There was confusion about how to deal with models that produce
different results from different simulators.They requested that Golden
Models be discussed in the IQ committee`. There is confusion about the
issue, but we believe that the already approved Golden waveforms can
handle this issue.

DesignCon03 EAST - IBIS summit
Bob Ross said that Barry Katz has signed up to Chair the IBIS OPEN
Summit at DesignCon03 east. Details will be announced on IBIS reflector
next month.

- Detailed Documentation review

Barry walked us through the updated documentation he wrote for the
Component section of the IBIS Quality checklist. The document is now
separated to clearly show what is required for Level 0, level 1 and
level 2.Barry also included the IBIS keywords. We will not duplicate
requirements from the lover levels (i.e. level 0) to the higher levels
(i.e. level 1) in the documentation otherwise we create duplication. But
may generate separate checklists for level 0,1,2.
Discussed in detail Pin Table and Package parasitics.Package parasitics
should be either defined or contain NA NA NA.Discussion about putting R
L C on some pins (signals) but not others (Power and Ground) this is
legal but can cause problems (not valid) when trying to simulate SSO.
Discussed Diff pin Section and model selector requirements.
