======

1) Opens

3) Review of ARs:

Arpad: Get cross talk BIRD draft posted on the ATM web site
       - done

All:   Review Crosstalk BIRD draft so we can vote it for submission
       to the IBIS Open Forum

Any other AR-s?


Old ARs:

Arpad:  Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries.
        - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do


4)  Cross talk BIRD draft
    - any last minute comments?
    - vote to submit it to the IBIS Open Forum

5)  Out_InOut BIRD draft (Out_InOut_BIRD_04.pdf)
    - do we need to mention the different Types?
      - how does the tool plot string, for example?
    - schedule a vote

6)  (Format) Table Syntax Clarification (Row 21, 22)
    from Ambrish, Walter and Bob
    - which one are we working on?
      - Table_BIRD_Ambrish_02.pdf       (Ambrish)
      - Table_BIRD_Walter_05.pdf        (Walter)
      - Table_BIRD_Bob_proposal_02.pdf  (Bob)

7a) BIRD 123.1, jitter parameters
    - how do we deal with Usage Out?  (includes Row 37)
      - remove Usage Out from the BIRD?  or
      - specify which function (Init or GetWave) can return values?
      - specify what the EDA tool should do with the returned values?

7b) BIRD 121, data management parameters (file support)
    - questions, comments?

7c) BIRD 124, dependency table
    - questions, comments?

8)  Analog BIRD draft (Walter)

9)  IBIS-AMI Section 6c Tables Update (Table1_3_BIRD_draft_1.pdf)
    - this is on hold until all related items are defined

10) Define relationship between Type and Format (Row 25 in Task List
    Type_Format_Table_BIRD_02.pdf)
    - this is on hold until all related items are defined



Remaining Task List items:
==========================

Row 18: What is the ambiguity between Format and Text Strings?
        - answer:  See row 25

Row 21: According to the BNF, the Format = Table syntax is invalid.
        - If Format is removed, this s not a problem, but if Format
          is there the problem still exists.  Do we need to fix this?
          - we will address this when talking about Table

Row 22: The syntax for a leaf is:
        (Row 22 in Task List)
           <leaf>:   ( <parameter name> whitespace <value list> )
           So in a Table which is written like this:   (-50 -0.1 1e-35),
           -50 is actually a parameter name, i.e. a string, not a value.
        -deprecate Table back to List?
        - we will address this when talking about Table

Row 23/24: Fix the two tables to reflect what is in the text
           - Bob started a BIRD draft which will be finalized
             as other BIRDs are completed

Row 25: Define relationship between Type and Format
        - discuss Walter's suggestions

Row 26: This is basically the same as the items in Row 46-47.

Row 33: Is AMI_Init restricted to change first column of impulse_matrix
        only?
        - Sigrity is writing a BIRD draft on this (Ken)

Row 35: Clarify questions about impulse response
        - this needs to be discussed

Row 37: Usage Out for reserved (jitter) parameters
        - which function (Init or GetWave) can return these?

Row 46/47: Remove certain parameters and keywords
           - this needs to be discussed



Thanks,

Arpad
