Does anyone have a softcopy of the meeting (not the IPC Notes) notes (or link)
from the early June meeting in Brussels to discuss RoHS2 and the exemptions?

Norman,
You are not alone. Quite a few of us would like to take that approach (my
company IS, in fact, are exempted from the no lead rule).
It doesn't matter what we do; the part and pc board manufacturers will rush
like lemmings to the sea to do what the EU wants.
The problem for us is that even if we don't comply with the EU, on lead, for
example, we still end up having to buy a lot of parts that are
unleaded because they either don't make them or, if they are available, they
are 10-12 weeks delivery.
That procurement cycle may work just fine for a military aerospace contractor,
perhaps, but we in the commercial/industrial marketplace do not have that
luxury. One day it's an order for a few units, the next day it's for 60 or
more.
We need the manufacturers to go back to better delivery times on leaded parts!

I’m probably alone, but sometimes I wonder if selling to the EU
is worth it. Just where are they on the electronic purchases list? Ah well.
Just dreaming, I guess.

IPC expresses concerns on possible ROHS revisions
IPC today reported on its recent ROHS-revision focused workshop in Brussels and
-- like a growing number of electronics supply chain companies, organizations,
and experts – noted concerns with the Öko-Institut’s proposed expansion of ROHS
substance restrictions.
