Ray,

Maybe you could summarize this issue into a concise post and send it over to
TECHNET. There are at least twice as many members there (1750?) and that's
where most of the fabricators/assemblers hang out.
I'm sure we would get some response there. Are you a member?

Also, since there are a LOT of messages, I would recommend adding the line:
SET TECHNET DIGEST
And then you'll get only a few big mails with several messages bundled
together

                Ray,

                The IPC-2221/2222 makes quite a few improvements over the
IPC-D-275,
                especially in the standard fabrication allowance. I would
suggest that you
                obtain a copy and evaluate these differences against your
experiences. Any
                comments would be welcomed.

                Additionally, IPC standards committees are not closed to the
public. They
                welcme all comments and data submitted for review. I suggest
if you have data
                that supports your concerns, that you submit them to the
committee for
                evaluation. The committee has scheduled a meeting at IPC
Works in Minneapolis
                on October 25th. I am sure they would like to meet with you
and/or discuss
                your findings.

                Regards,

                Gary Ferrari
