All,

Several of us discussed how to move forward on the AMI BIRD expeditiously.
We agreed that the best plan is to remove any non-necessary enhancements to
the BIRD, and defer them to a BIRD we will start immediately after this BIRD
gets submitted to the Open Forum. I am enclosing an updated BIRD with these
changes. On Tuesday I will complete the first pass review of the rest of the
document (Section 10, starting on page 15)

Summary of changes:

1.      Remove new reserved Tx Jitter and Rx Clock Recovery parameters
        a.      Tx_Dj
        b.      Tx_Rj
        c.      Rx_Clock_Recovery_Mean
        d.      Rx_Clock_Recovery_Rj
2.      Remove tap parameters
        a.      Scale
        b.      Limit
3.      Remove Environment Variables
4.      Remove AMISearchPath
5.      Allow <CR> <LF> in strings
6.      Remove limit on max length of Strings
7.      Allow NA as a valid value
8.      Removed AMI_Version
9.      Requirement for Usage and Type are relaxed for certain Reserved
Parameters
10.     Kumar?s question, How does this combination prevents deconvolution/other
techniques to derive the filter response?
        a.      I believe this was answered during the presentation on flows.
        b.      Any discussions on this should be done in an e-mail thread on 
the
reflector


11.     Kumar?s question (re Rx_Receiver Sensitivity) , How the EDA/model is
expected to use this information in a standard way during simulation/post
processing?
        a.      Any discussions on this should be done in an e-mail thread on 
the
reflector
12.     Changes to support conditional processing.


If anyone objects to any of these decisions, I request that they start an
e-mail thread on the reflector to present alternative wording in the BIRD.

It is my goal to have a BIRD for the next weeks meeting (Feb 16) that I
would be prepared to submit to the Open Forum.
