Good morning all,

We had a successful round of meetings at the IPC Midwest Expo in 
Schaumburg, IL, this last week.  I hope that you had time and budget to 
attend.

One of the action items that I have as chairman of the Cleaning and 
Coating General Committee is to determine if there is sufficient interest 
and volunteers to form two new task groups.

The first would be a Task Group on Potting and Encapsulation.  The IPC has 
groups devoted to conformal coating, but none really on potting and 
encapsulation.  So, would you find a group on potting and encapsulation to 
be of benefit and would you be willing to be part of it.

The second would be a Task Group on Component Cleanliness.  We have groups 
that focus on bare board cleanliness and assembly cleanliness, but not 
components themselves.  Again, would you find a group to be of benefit and 
would you be willing to be part of it.

I realize, as do most of the IPC chairmen, that travel budgets are very 
tight or non-existant.  If you volunteer, much of the work can be done 
on-line and by teleconferences.  It might be nothing more than some good 
Technet exchanges.

Let me know your thoughts on these matters.
