Walter and All: I agree with the Tuesday agenda plan. We are making progress in addressing some top-level concerns. I want to address Walter's last statement: "... and determine what are next steps are to be able to have this committee submit a draft of the AMI BIRD to the Open Forum for discussion." We need to do the editorial restructuring of Section 6C to move forward, both for now and for any future inclusions. Without getting into full details, we need these actions: Outline the Chapter Sections and move related content into sections Do a Terminology review and update the terminology Then do final technical review. For example, the .ami syntax is now split apart into two areas. It should all be under an .AMI syntax subsection and its subsections to clearly present the syntax rules. The terminology needs to be considered and stabilized. AMI-Keyword for .ami might be defined to have it different than Keyword for IBIS models (including in Section 6C(. Then "Allowed-Values" becomes "Allowed-Keywords." This restructing might could be done off-line by a separate editing team or by some other process to get to a new baseline. Then we can do a final technical review where all the factors for a rule and their impact are fully considered. Then we reach the final goal for the IBIS Open Forum consideration: A complete, clear and technically robust BIRD that describes what was intended.
