Agenda:
Original Topic - T-9 Reference Interval.
Added Topics - R.V 4.8 RSI data base analysis request; Industry Alarm

T-9 Reference interval:
As an action item from our March 5 teleconference, Wim Van Dam reported that
the feedback from the ACC, while only verbal, was that they do not want to
lengthen the time between reference tests from one year to, possibly, 18
months.
Based on this feedback, Scott Richards with drew his motion to extend the
reference interval.

R.V. 4.8 RSI data base analysis:
Wim reported that he had received some push back from the ACC regarding a
request to have RSI prepare a report on the 100 5 DIN shear results from
candidate oils. They felt that the ACC needed a better understanding of the
reason for the request. Following a fairly lengthy discussion, the group
decided that we probably do not really need this data, and the issue will be
dropped from further consideration.

Industry Alarm for T-10 EOT Lead and Delta Lead 250-300 hours:
Jeff Clark reported that we are currently operating in an industry alarm for
both EOT lead and 250-300 hour lead. (The author tried to trick him into
saying they are correlated, but he wasn't going there!) He indicate that the
alarm had been triggered by two very severe results from the same stand. At
this time, Jeff believes that no action is required by the Surveillance
Panel, other than monitoring the situation.

Any Other Business:
Jeff Clark reported that the liner wear round robin is progressing very
well, and the data look great.
Jeff also reported that he would be issuing T-8; T-9 and T-10 Information
letters with an effective date of March 6, 2002.
There followed a lengthy discussion of the "correct" MRV technique for the
T-10A test. Greg Shank asked the group if there were any concerns over
stipulating the use of only  the "modified" method, and there were no
responses. 

Next Meeting:
Wim asked the group to input to him any preference between having a meeting
before June in Richmond, CA, or waiting until ASTM week in Montreal.
