Meeting at FNAL – no action items, roundtable discussion

Brian – Trip to Russia

• How can we get the Russians more involved in the GDE?
• Visited most of the major Russian labs
• Budker Inst. – A. Skrinsky is supportive and P. Logatchev will be the contact person
• Protvino – lots of people,
  • Ivanov agreed to be the contact person
  • Magnet Design and vacuum an option

• INR – already working on positron source and several other areas; keen to get more involved also possibly in vacuum and rf engineering. L.Kravchuk will be the contact person.

• Dubna – also lots of people
  • Map of ILC at Dubna was shown, plans were substantial –
  • Special Economic Zone has been established and means that Dubna region will be developed.
  • Sissakian – has discussed the ILC and Dubna’s plans with the Russian Minister for Education
  • G. Shirkov will be the contact person

Tor - RDR contacts

• Rob Appleby has requested some guidance on scope, and a US contact name.
• Tom Markiewicz was asked to be Dumps and Collimators US contact

Barry – EDMS

• Tom M. made presentation at Bangalore and asked for EC guidance
• Recommendation of CERN system together with DESY TEAMCENTER solution for 3D cad system
• System support is an issue: CERN wants single-lab integrated package which is on its to-do list. Will perform study over the next two months to evaluate scope and resource needs (but no promise).
• Homework to be done on the DESY/CERN issue before inviting Tom M. to an EC meeting.
• BB to TR – let Tom know we are not ignoring the problem, when we have more info we will invite Tom to the EC meeting.

Barry – Cost Strategy /Information

• We need clear guidelines enforced by the EC for who sees the numbers and how they can be used.
• What will we have by Vancouver? EU cost estimate (for ML) based on re-scaling TDR numbers and including recent XFEL experience. (XFEL numbers will not be directly available to the GDE – consequences too complicated). Some input (but not final) from US industrial study and from US in-lab estimates.
• Discussion: w/Willhelm (meeting at DESY,lots and lots of discussion........)
  • XFEL costs and TESLA costs.
  • Transfer XFEL costs to ILC
  • Conclusion – TESLA costs will be reviewed w/XFEL cost estimate, TESLA/XFEL cost estimate to be used by EGDE for ILC cost estimate
  • Agreed to a total cost estimate given to the GDE, no cost will be available /restricted access

Tor – Speakers Bureau

• Assigned talks
• Organization needed
• Max to keep records
• Website availability
• Guidelines for talk – high level w/few members when asked to give talks
