Minutes -
Wim opened the call with a review of the proposed agenda, and there were two additions. Greg Shank asked to add discussion of the number of significant figures for the soot limits in the T-11, and Jim Moritz asked to discuss T-12 reference extensions for those stands which had early references.
Wim noted that we probably won't finish the T-10/T-12 correlation today, but we should try to finalize our position by the 28th. (Now 29th)
He asle introduced two new members, Kwasi Mitchell of ExxonMobil and Armel Budd of ISP.
Jim Rutherford reviewed his analysis of the T-10 / T-12 correlation data and recommended the use of the models developed. 

Jim's pesentation was followed by significant debate with multiple inputs. Wim summarized the primary options as:
0) Look at a reduced T-12 merit limit to predict a T-10 pass. (Jim' presentation suggests 400)
0) Calculate T-10 from T-12 - Jim's proposal.
0) Revise T-12 merit system.

Steve Kennedy and Pat Fetterman expressed support for approach 1, and a second debate developed over what data to use…TMC  820, or all data. 
Wim solicited input on how to revise the "hard fail" caps in the T-12 to allow oils which exceed the current caps to still pass, if they accumulate sufficient merits on other parameters.
Following several more minutes of discussion, Wim closed debate with a request for group input on approaches 1 and 3, but leaving Jim's proposal as offered.

Ron Buck reported on the need to move from T-12 cylinder kit batch N to batch P. He noted that the initial T-12 parts order was based on T-10 usage, and T-12 usage is running higher. He also noted there had been a higher incidence of rejected rings towards the end of batch N, and there is a need to move to batch P soon. He also noted that TEI is seeing slightly higher, but still in spec, crown height on the rings. Wim requested full feedback from TEI on batch P inspection changes and from the TMC regarding any need for additional references to bring batch P parts in.

The group agreed to table Jim Moritz' request for T-12 reference extensions until Jeff Clark is available.
Greg queried the status of the early reference testing, and Intertek, SwRI and Lubrizol are all complete, while XOM and Afton are running currently.

Following a discussion of the required significant figures in a T-11 soot result, the group agreed to keep test reporting to two significant figures, but via a non-binding straw ballot we agreed that the pass/fail limits should only use one decimal point i.e. 6.0, 6.7 and 3.5 for the 12, 15 and 4 cSt vis increases.

The T-11 reference oil, TMC 820-2, is now down to 180 gallons at TMC. The supplier indicates that resupply is limited by the lack of the exact basestock and one component in the DI package. However, the supplier feels they can blend a "comparable" product, and is seeking guidance from the panel. Wim asked if the supplier could offer more details regarding the issues, so the panel can make a more informed decision.

Jim Rutherford presented this analysis of possible new T-11 soot corrections based on a full 20 test data set. He noted that he did not see a strong need to change the factors.
 
Following a brief discussio, Bob Campbell moved to accpet these new correction factors of -0.35 for soot and 956 for MRV effective with tests which EOT after March 23, 2006 - midnight. The motion passed with 7 positive and 2 waive.
Jim also completed a full look at LTMS targets which was sent following the telecon.
 
The next telecon is planned fo 3/28/06 at 10:30 eastern…now rescheduled to 3/29/06, same time.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat
