The meeting was called-to-order at 4:00 PM by Acting Chairman Dan O'Brien

1.0 Introductions
A round of self-introductions was conducted.

2.0 Committee Organization and Procedures
2.1 Membership and Attendance
Attendance was taken, and it was officially determined that a quorum was present.

2.2 Approval of Agenda
The agenda was approved as presented.

2.3 Approval of Minutes
Approval of minutes of the 24 April 2001 meeting at the Hyatt Hotel in San Antonio, TX and the 09 October meeting in Philadelphia, PA were approved.

2.4 Correspondence
None

2.5 Review of the Committee's Scope
Because Mike Mosier could no longer chair P-2.4 and because of reduced participation in P-2.4, the committee agreed to combine P-2.2 and P-2.4

The proposed scope for the combined committee is:
Aluminum electrolytic, paper, film, and mica capacitors for all AC and DC applications except inductive heating and utility power-factor correction.

The proposed name for the combined committee is:
P-2.2 Aluminum, Film and Mica Capacitors Subcommittee.

The committee will vote on the scope and name at the next meeting.

3.0 Reports
3.1 DSCC report
A report from DSCC was presented by Ken Beymer.

3.2 Report on the U-1 Committee
All present for this session were also at the U-1 meeting, so no discussion took place.

4.0 Old Business

4.1 Status of SP-2805-A (EIA-580A0AB), "Detail Specification for Fixed Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Dielectric DC Capacitors Radial-Leaded."
SP-2805-A was rescinded and 2805-B ballot period closed on 29 August 2001. Comments received were forwarded to the Chair for the committee to address.
An IEC standard covering the same scope is available. The existing draft of 2805-B has numerous errors in tables. At the next meeting the committee will propose incorporating the IEC standard.

4.2 Status of Task Group drafting SMT film capacitor specification.
No report was available.

4.3 Five-year Review of Documents
Review of documents was deferred to the next meeting.

5.0 New Business

5.1 Discussion on merger of P-2.2 and P-2.4 into one committee.
The committee unanimously voted to merge the two committees into one.

5.2 Review of P-2.2 time-slot and meeting length.
The committee agreed that the new combined committee would require a two-hour meeting, and since P-2.2 and P-2.4 had been scheduled consecutively in past meetings, it would retain the same spot in the rotation.

5.3 Selection of New Chairman
Laird L Macomber agreed to be acting chairman until a new chairman can be chosen at the first combined meeting of P-2.2 and P-2.4.

6.0 Next Meeting
The next meeting will be at the ECA Fall Engineering Summit week of 7-10 October 2002 at the Downtown Marriott in Charlotte, NC.

7.0 Adjournment
The member discussion was completed by 5:00 PM

This session was conducted in accordance with the EIA Legal Guidelines and the Manual of Organization and Procedures.
