Selection of Permanent Chair
	No volunteers were forthcoming. Michele Wynne will act as Permanent Chair when available. The group agreed to find a replacement on days Ms. Wynne is not available. Known days are the end of June and possibly July.

Activity List
	The revised Activity List was reviewed. 

The cross reference and use of national standards were applicable was agreed upon. 

The following clarifications and additions were made:
•	2.h. focuses on the need for knowledge about the operation of the test switch even though the UDC’s are responsible for the PT/CT’s. Coordination between the two is required. (Tim Vahlstrom)
•	4.c is added to include who is eligible to read and retrieve meter data. (Lee Simmons)

Bob Lane Letter and Report Development
	The group agreed to use the structure of the Activity List as the bases for developing the report. In addition, the group agreed to use the contents of the Bob Lane letter as a starting point  for the test of the report.

Section 1. MSP/Meter Worker Qualifications
	The floor was opened for discussion on what parts of the Appendix A of the Bob Lane letter applied to Section 1 of the Subject Area and Issues list.

	The first issue concerned whether 5 Classes were necessary and sufficient and if the divisions were appropriate. 

A discussion on the need to have a Class 5 resulted in the decision to leave it in until it falls out naturally. The issues included installation demarcation. The UDCs are responsible for the PT/CT’s and they believe this includes the test switch. The MSP needs to be knowledgeable about the test switch. Others felt that UDCs responsibility did not include the test switch and that field coordination could be come a problem if a minor fix is required and the UDC must be called out. The issue was left with determining the reasons for the MSP to be certified Class 5 and that issues at revolves around secondary side fuses.
	
The Class 2 voltage limited was recommended to be changed to up to 600 volts from up to 300 volts.

For all classes a review of the qualification process for each class is needed. In practice, meter workers move from class to class in a manner similar to other crafts moving from apprenticeship to journeyman. This may prove difficult with MSP’s installing meters immediately for customers with higher voltage meters. 

The group will review the possibility of recommending an uniform administration process. 

The worker qualifications should differentiate those qualifications that apply to the entity (MSP) and those that apply to the individual. Does an individual qualified at one MSP take that qualification to another MSP? If an MSP is qualified does that automatically make any installer working there qualified?

Ward Camp volunteered Ed Young (ed.young@phsr.com) to map Appendix A of the Bob Lane letter into the format of the Activities list. Any suggested additions should be to Mr. Young by March 20.

Section 2. Meter Installation and Maintenance. 

Safety.

Safety is listed separately to insure that a complete list of requirements is developed. The group anticipates that safety will be incorporated into other sections of the report.

Those safety issues that result in markings on or near the meter should have a common identifiers. This will allow other entities, especially emergency units, to understand what the markings represent. 

The report should include a process for communicating to other, none electric industry, emergency response entities the meaning of any new markings.

Implementation of MSP certification (joint meets).

	If certification is required, the need for one time or short term versus periodic certifications should be addressed. This subsection may end up in Section 1.

	For end the field installation certification, the requirements may be different for meter swap outs and new building installation.
