IPC-A-610D as a widely adopted assembly acceptability standard was recently released to the industry. 
Within our user groups there is an interest to identify acceptability criteria that would be considered unique to Telecommunication products considering their specific operation and product performance perspectives. The possible end result would be a telecommunication addendum to IPC-A-610D. The precedence for this type of addendum was initially established for Space applications with the concurrence of IPC and the TAEC. For perspective the resulting 001C space hardware addendum is available at www.ipc.org/downloads
We're looking for additional interested parties that would commit to supporting the development and to that end we'll look at the opportunity for a brief kickoff meeting during the upcoming IPC Fall Meeting. 
If you are interested in participating in this effort please contact myself or Jack Crawford at IPC. 
Offline would probably be better. 

Thanks
