When you read the minutes, you will see that a great deal was accomplished in the short two days that the group met in Melbourne, FL on September 20-21. At this time, we draw your attention to the fact that we have developed an outline and that have been assigned a number by ANSI of J-STD-040. The title of the new joint standard will be "Optoelectronic Assembly and Packaging Technology." Our next meetings are in October and we invite you to participate. The first October meeting will be the 13th in Orlando, FL on the last day of the IPC Annual meeting at: The Rosen Centre Hotel 9840 International Drive Orlando, FL 32819-8122 407-996-9840 The purpose of that meeting is to continue the development of the standard and solicit your input and involvement. We also have scheduled a second meeting in October for those of you who are not able to attend the Orlando meeting. This second meeting will be held at IPC Headquarters on October 22-23, 2001. Each meeting builds on the previous activity. If you are not able to attend any of the meetings and still want to be involved, send us your comments and your input and we will make sure that these items are discussed at the meetings. Once again, we would like to thank the management of JDS Uniphase and Paul Magill for getting this important project started. The group that met has already identified 22 specific standards that will be developed once the J-STD-040 is completed. If you are able to attend either meeting, please send an email to Jeanne Cooney at <[log in to unmask]> letting us know that you will be participating. We thank you for your continued involvement and participation.
