Welcome and Introductions

Approval of January 24, 2005ASC OP Meeting Draft Minutes
W. Royall moved that the draft minutes be approved. W. Czajkowksi seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously.
ASME Y14.18
W. Royall reiterated that ASME is not interested in the optical standard. H. Pollicove asked W. Royall and G. Boultbee to participate on the committee. He wanted to wait until after the scratch and dig standard was completed to begin work on the Y14.18 standard. ASME is tired of waiting and is preparing to withdraw the standard. If we were to assume responsibility for the standard we would have to make it compatible with ISO 10110. D. Aikens asked if the industry still needs the standard. H. Johnson said that he still sees Y14.5 drawings. H. Johnson said that ISO 10110 drawings come primarily from optics companies. W. Czajkowski said that they see a variety of drawing types. D. Aikens said that if Y14.5 is still viable then we need to keep Y14.18. We don't have bandwidth to work on ISO 10110. W. Royall said that we need to maintain a link to Y14.5. We could offer to rewrite the standard if ASME would maintain it when completed. W. Royall said that he would have difficulty in getting development support from the Kodak optical design group. W. Royall said that we should take over the responsibility for Y14.18. D. Aikens said that Y14.18 could be streamlined. W. Royall said that OEOSC should contact ASME and propose that we develop it as joint ASME/OEOSC standard. D. Aikens asked W. Royall to help draft a letter to ASME making such a proposal. G. Boultbee noted that Y14.5 is dated 1994 and is past due for reaffirmation. G. Boultbee moved that W. Royall draft a letter with G. Kohlenberg to send to ASME offering to assume responsibility for updating Y14.18 which ASME would then release. W. Czajkowski seconded the motion, which carried.
Wavefront
W. Royall has one person who is willing to comment on the ISO 14999-4.
Other Business
D. Aikens asked if we want to continue using our Sundays to write standards? G. Boultbee said that at the OP 1 meeting we agreed to work on the performance standard. He is pessimistic that we can develop a performance standard, but we could create an objective measurement.The group agreed to meet again on Sunday to continue work on a optical imperfection performance standard.
G. Boultbee stated that at the ASC OP1 meeting we didn't add the formula for the allowable dig total. He suggested that the equations need to be added. G. Boultbee moved that in the 3.5.2 include equation, W. Royall seconded the motion,which carried.
At the ASC OP meeting the day before this meeting G. Boultbee pointed out that the committees have gotten out of the habit of using rules of order. If someone has a proposal it should go to all of the committee. G. Boultbee said that he has no problem if a few members discuss an item, but all of the committee should be involved in the decision process.
ASC OP Reaffirmation of Operating Procedures
G. Kohlenberg reported that ANSI had changes that they want OP to make to its operating procedures. G. Boultbee moved that ASC OP recommend that OEOSC Board reaffirm the operating procedures as edited by G. Kohlenberg , W. Czajkowski seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Time and Place for Next OP Meeting
G. Boultbee moved that the next meeting be held in San Diego on August 1. J. Oberheuser seconded the motion, which carried.
Adjourn
Since there was no further business to come before the committee, W. Royall moved that the meeting be adjourned. J. Oberheuser seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 a.m.
