All, I would like to add two items to the agenda: 1. IBIS 5.1 will have a format for describing Reserved Parameters (I do not know what the status of this is yet). BIRD 123.2 obviously does not follow this new format. I hope 123.2 get approved by the OPEN Forum before 5.1 is finished. Will BIRD 123,2 need to be amended to comply with the new format, or will this be a task for the editorial committee when IBIS 5.2 gets written. 2. At some point I would like to discuss the IBIS 5.1 AMI parser. I propose that the IBIS 5.1 AMI parser just follow the 5.1 rules. I believe that IBIS 5.0 AMI models should pass the IBIS 5.1 rules with the following exceptions: a. Reserved parameters Version and Use_Init_Output b. Quotes around strings c. IBIS 5.0 models that do not follow the New Rules, should have, and I think that they should be flagged.

Michael Mirmak reviewed the status of approved and pending IBIS 5.1 BIRDs and a combination ASCII draft of IBIS 5.1. Three BIRDs are pending for 5.1; no others are expected. Arpad Muranyi suggested that everything between "Table" and the following text should be indented: | Gaussian <mean> <sigma> | Dual-Dirac <mean> <mean> <sigma> | Composite of two Gaussian | DjRj <minDj> <maxDj> <sigma> | Convolve Gaussian (sigma) with uniform Modulation PDF Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, DjRj should all be at the same level as Table (they're all formats). Bob Ross suggested that all changes should be presented in "standard" IBIS (ASCII) format first and collected in one document before formatting changes are made. Bob also asked whether terms such as "tree", "root", "subtree", "branch", and "leaf" are defined. Michael will check on these, plus whether consistent terms are used between Section 6x and Section 10.
