Alan Wiseman 23 January 2001 at 3:30pm central. Rai Weiss Albert Lazzarini Tom Nash Alan Weinstein Stuart Anderson Alan Wiseman The consversation was free wheeling and the moderator lost control early, but the highlights of the meeting were: 1) The committee will revist the entire paper: all sections. This is broader scope than Rai was thinking, but there is a general consensus that this is necessary. 2) Rai emphasized the need to address the long range vision of the science. [This is in the current version, but he feels it is inadequate.] 3) General concensus that the hardwiring of tasks to people was important, but the White Paper is not the place for it. It should be removed from White Paper and kept on a web-page or a living LSC document. 4) To what extent the White Paper should address the allocation resources was discussed with no hard concensus. 5) The committee agreed on a skeleton of a rewrite strategy: 5.a) Attack by parts: Alan Wiseman and Stuart Anderson Chapter 2,3,4 (the science) and also parts chapter 9 dealing with the science ``vision thing''. Chapter 5 and 6. Keith and Alan Weinstein Chapter 7,8, part of 9 dealing with future hardware Tom and Albert 5.b) The three groups should begin by writing outlines of what needs to be in there. We will then discuss our outlines and decide how to proceed. 6. The goal for completing the rewrite is the August LSC meeting. 7) Next meeting: 13 February at 3:00pm Central.
