2. SC/5 met at 1:15 PM on September 27, 2005. The meeting was chaired by the SC5 Chairman, Ed Hare. The SC5 Secretary did not attend, so Jeff Silberberg served as acting Secretary.

3. The draft agenda was approved and adopted.

4. The minutes of the April 2005 meeting were approved.

5. A verbal report of WG1, Office Equipment Immunity, was given by Mr. Berger. A PINS to initiate the development of a document to cover immunity levels and test methods of audio-based office equipment and accessories used with wireless devices commonly used in office environments has been provided to the C63 Secretary for ballot within C63. This standard will be numbered C63.9.

6. Vivek Talwar has offered to serve as the Vice Chair of WG1. He works for Goldman Sachs. Mr. Hare approved recommending Mr. Talwar for this position. Mr. Hare will prepare a list of WG participants and submit them to the C63 parent committee for approval.

7. The continued support of SC5 to the work of SC8 on the development of C63.18 was discussed. Mr. Hare is the liaison to SC8, working with Mr. Silberberg on document text. Mr. Hare will continue to help Mr. Silberberg as requested.

8. The continued work on C63.24, a standard on ad-hoc, in-situ immunity testing of generic, non-medical devices, was discussed. A working group will be established to begin work on this document by the next series of C63 meetings. This group will focus on resolving consensus issues related to making measurements of radiated field strength by non-EMC-trained users.

9. The assumption of responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of C63.15, generic immunity requirements, was discussed. After C63 is reballoted in the parent committee and sent to the IEEE for publication, it is anticipated that SC5 will assume responsibility for maintaining this document. A working group within SC5 will be formed to work on this document.

10. Poul Andersen gave a verbal presentation and discussion on the use of reverberation chambers for immunity testing by the automotive industry. Although no specific projects were initiated by this presentation, the information was of general interest to the members of SC5.

11. The leadership of SC5 was discussed. This did not result in filling the vacant Vice Chair position.
