ACTION ITEM- Messrs Rowe and Ehemannn will provide a clean copy of the document for balloting.

2.4 Task force for machine-readable glass markings
Mr. Watson reported that more testing will be needed to standardize the process. Mr. Sgambelluri reported that efforts are continuing in the application to two product lines. The need to establish a minimum quality measurement. There is also a need to develop a third party source.
Mr. Goldman voiced concern about the timing of implementation of the mark; the industry would like to know the transition time for this new technology. Mr. Watson stated that no exact time frame is foreseen pending improved standardization and save Sony, the industry may start implementation 18 mos to 1 y. The driving forces will probably be economic and manufacture process traceability.
