Approval of May Meeting Minutes: The minutes from the May 20 Joint IE/TV WG meeting were distributed with the meeting materials. There were no suggested revisions to the minutes from participants on the call. The minutes were approved by affirmation. Announcements Call for Patents. Patty Dillon provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claims essential for the use of the standard. No patents were identified on the call. Subgroup Draft Standard Component Status All approved by subgroups except EOL. A balanced Resolution Task Force has been appointed and is working diligently to develop compromise language to try to garner 75% approval of the subgroup. We will keep you all posted on the progress of that work. 1 2010-06-29 / 1680.2 Imaging Equipment and 1680.3 Television Working Group Meeting Minutes Status of Responses to WG Comments Subgroup chairs are finalizing subgroup responses to WG comments and we expect to have all posted by the end of the week. The documents will be posted in the Members Only area of the 1680.2 & 1680.3 websites in the folder, “Working Group Approved Documents & Guidance”. Within this folder there is a folder titled “WG Comments on Draft Criteria – Subgroup Responses.” Several sets of comments are already posted, including ESM and Packaging. We will send out an email later this week with the link and notice of availability of most if not all subgroup responses. Informational Call Recordings Recordings of the informational calls on the draft standard components of each subgroup are available. We will send out an email with a link to the recordings later this week. Brief Review of Process & Schedule for WG Approval of Draft Standards Reference document - IEEE 1680.2 & 1680.3 WG Process & Schedule for Approval of Draft Standard rev. 10-6-20.doc. Draft standards in the IEEE template were sent to each WG for deliberation & approval last Wednesday 6/23 (with the exception of the EOL draft standard component). Starting this call, the WGs will begin the process of approval of the draft standards. o Initially, the WGs will have joint calls twice weekly to work through merged performance categories. When that work is complete, the WG will have weekly separate calls to work through separate performance categories until the draft standard is approved. (see schedule for call days and time) o Proxy voting rules and procedures (WG P&Ps, Section 9.6) will apply, if needed, to accommodate vacation schedules. During this draft standard approval process, WG members should limit amendments to critical issues for them - only those issues that are needed for stakeholders to be able to approve the draft standard. Deadline last Friday 6/25 was for ESM, Material Selection, Corporate Performance, and Packaging. Proposed amendments to all other performance categories should be submitted by COB July 1. Will let you know about EOL criteria as that progresses. During these WG calls we will discuss issues/criteria only within the context of amendments the draft standard(s). We will proceed through the proposed amendments to draft standard(s) by performance category beginning with the merged performance categories. Today and Thursday are devoted to ESM and Materials Selection. Next week will focus on Corporate Performance and Packaging. As a reminder, amendments require 75% approval. Proposed Temporary Modification of WG Policy & Procedure Regarding Proxies The WGs were asked about extending the duration of a proxy from only 2 consecutive meetings to 1 month during this meeting intensive time period and ending September 1, 2010. The WG P&Ps currently 2 2010-06-29 / 1680.2 Imaging Equipment and 1680.3 Television Working Group Meeting Minutes allow a WG member to assign proxy for 2 consecutive meetings. Up until now, the WG has been meeting monthly, which essentially allowed a WG member to miss 2 months of calls. We’re now in an intense period of calls, with 2 calls scheduled each week for the month of July, as we work to approve the draft standard. Given the intense call schedule, plus vacations in the summer, the Chairs have had requests for extensions of proxy assignments to accommodate 2-3 week vacations. The WG Chairs propose that the WGs temporarily suspend the proxy limit of 2 consecutive meetings, and for this meeting intensive period, allow assignment of proxies for up to one month. One WG member made a motion to extend proxy assignments; another member made a 2nd; the floor was opened for discussion and the following clarifications were made: 1) Reassignment of proxy is not allowed 2) Need 2/3 approval to modify P&Ps 3) Excused absences do not count towards gaining voting eligibility 4) Once voting rights are gained, the P&Ps do not have a limit on the number of excused absences, however if 2 consecutive meetings are missed without prior notice, then voting rights are suspended until 2 consecutive meetings are attended. There was a motion to bring the question to vote; and a 2nd; there were no objections and therefore a webex poll was opened. The question was restated: Do you agree to temporarily suspend the assignment of proxy of 2 meeting until September 1, 2010, instead allowing a one month assignment of proxy? The voting results (with voter eligibility verified) were 63% in favor and 37% opposed. Since the proposed change required 2/3 majority, the motion was not approved. WG Approval of Draft Standards Two documents were provided yesterday that pertain to the amendments: 1) Merged Proposed Amendments 100628 2) ESM & Materials Selection Amendment Discussion Topics Proposed amendments submitted for the 4 merged subgroups with approved draft standard components were sent out yesterday (6/28). Proposed amendments for the remaining performance categories (except EOL) are due by COB on Thursday 7/1. We will start discussing and voting on amendments with ESM and work through each performance category. Our intention is to review and vote on ESM amendments #1 – #32 on today’s call. Process: We will first discuss RoHS/REACH amendments, and then amendments to the organohalogen criteria. Each submitter will get a few minutes to present all their proposed amendments in each grouping because the amendments are inter-related or identical and apply to the same handful of criteria; time will vary based on the # of amendments that each submitter proposed. We are bundling together topics because many amendments refer to the same criterion. For example 4 WG members submitted 26 amendments on 3 criteria. 3 2010-06-29 / 1680.2 Imaging Equipment and 1680.3 Television Working Group Meeting Minutes Following the remarks of the submitters, we will open up the floor for discussion; we ask that if you are on webex that you use the “raised hand” feature and Patty will recognize you. We ask WG members not to speak to the same issue more than twice, and to please limit your remarks to 2 or 3 minutes. We will vote on the amendments using Survey Monkey (SM). The link provided was provided in the email sent yesterday morning During the SM voting we will also be taking verbal votes for the those not able to access the survey and for proxies (or you can email or stay on the line when the call ends). Please remember to only vote if you have voting eligibility. We will be checking the eligibility of voters after the meeting and will share voting results shortly after the meeting. A WG member made a motion to discuss, vote on each amendment topic separately; with the results provided prior to moving on to the next amendment topic. There was a 2nd to the motion. A vote was taken using webex polling. Do you support changing the WG Chairs proposed process for addressing amendments, so that the WG discusses, votes, & receive results on each of the amendment topics separately before moving to the next amendment? The question was restated: Do you support changing the WG Chairs proposed process for addressing amendments, so that the WG discusses, votes, & receive results on each of the amendment topics separately before moving to the next amendment? The voting results (with voter eligibility verified) was 35% in favor and 65% opposed. Since the proposed change required 2/3 majority, the motion was not approved. Given the above results, the process presented by the WG chairs was used in the following discussion. RoHS/REACH amendments. For the 6 RoHS/REACH proposed amendments (#1 - #6), each of the two submitters got the floor for 3 to 5 minutes; then the floor was opened for discussion. The WG discussed and the voted on ESM amendments #1 - #6. The survey was left open for 2 hours following the meeting. Pamela and Patty will review the survey for voting eligibility and share the results as soon as possible. (See Voting Results as Attachment 2.) All 6 amendments were not approved by either WG.
