Membership - no changes.

Minutes of 3/17/05 Meeting - approved as issued.

Test Procedure - Draft 3 has been issued; SwRI and PE volunteered to submit some photos for the coolant in t/c and Pre-Venturi t/c and pressure tap. The modine out t/c distances at each lab will be sent to the TMC and the procedure will be updated to specify a location distance that accomodates all labs. To date only one lab has confirmed proper depths of oil sump and oil gallery thermocouples (was originally incorrect). Other labs are to follow up on this.

Pre-Matrix Data Analysis - The last 820-2 run has been received and two tests on a low sap oil have been added to the analysis (attached). Following review of the presentation, it was commented that the addition of data has strengthened the discrimination. Greg was asked about whether there is any confirmation on operational validity and conditions (IMT, CO2, etc) of the candidate oils. Greg stated that he does not have this information, but he will ask for it. The operational data template can be used to report this.

Lab Readiness Update - A short discussion on lab readiness took place. A couple of labs owe some op data (due Monday 4/4), and the lab visit summary will be prepared this week. Once these are done, we should be able to offer a statement on the readiness of all five labs. A conference call to discuss this will be held on Thursday 4/7 at 11:00 EST.

Hardware Supply - parts are still targeted for 4/8/05.

Engine Rebuild Workshop - will be held at SwRI on April 12 (all day) & 13 (am). SwRI is requesting that the labs let them know what they would like to cover.

Referencing Period - will be addressed later.

T-12 Matrix Readiness - Greg Shank moved, Scott Richards seconded that the T-12 is matrix ready. The motion passed without objection. Greg thank everyone for their support in developing this test.
