All, The IBIS ATM committee is preparing to make a recommendation to the IBIS Open Forum to remove the .ami portions from the IBIS 5.0 specification into a separate document. The enclosed documents contain a new introduction section to this AMI specification, and six (6) documents corresponding to the sections referenced in the introduction. There is one document describing the change that needs to be made to the IBIS 5.0 doc. The six(6) documents were created by cutting and pasting sections of the latest AMI BIRD document. The final document contains what was left of the original BIRD after all of the cut and paste.
