Subject:	T-12 Minutes of April 26 2005
Roll Call - Jim Moritz, John Haeglin, Scott Richards, Jeff Clark, Riccardo Conti, Ron Buck, Jim Rutherford, Mark Cooper, Jim Gutzwiller, Bob Campbell, Greg Shank

Minutes - of April 19 2005 were approved.

Matrix Readiness:
- Oil Delivery Update - three labs have their oil; one lab needs to be confirmed.
- Engine Kit Delivery Update - all matrix labs have the hardware for the first matrixt test; Greg hopes to have the complete new hardware in place by the week of May 23rd.
- Status of MOA - it is anticipated that a final MOA will be agreed to tomorrow (with the exception of the ISB exit ballot). It is possible that the MOA could be signed by the end of next week.

ACC Template - prepared by J.Rutherford, was previously distributed. Everyone was asked to review this and it will be on the June meeting agenda.

Non-Matrix Stands - all non-matrix stands running for calibration along side the matrix are to be run using the new hardware (Campbell, Shank. Passed Unanimously).

Research Report - it was felt that work on the research report should begin as soon as possible. Greg will spearhead the effort on this; target completion is September.

Calibration Requirements:
- Reference Period - Greg prefers to discuss this in an upcoming, dedicated conference call.
- New Stands - The first stand at a lab will require two acceptable tests and all subsequent stands will require one successful test (Shank, Conti. Passed with one abstain).

Timing - it was decided that injection timing +/- 3 degrees from initial may be too tight. We will continue to evaluate as we go on. 

Intercoolers - there is some desire to go back to the smaller Modine, but this will be examined after the summer season.

Next TelCon - to discuss reference period. Will be held on May 11 2005 at 1:00 pm ET.

Mack T-11 Testing - there is some concern over oil consumption levels. Greg did not want to discuss today, but it should be set up in short order with the Surveillance Panel, perhaps in conjunction with the next T-12 call.
