To do for this meeting:

• Finalise list of main points in overleaf
• Upload to agenda slide(s) with R&D and spending/FTE plans

Several authors were away due to the ongoing demonstrator workshop at FNAL

 

The meeting focused on the Evaluation report, with authors taking turns reporting on their sections.

 

Good progress, with a relatively few sections still missing inputs

 

FM reminded the R&D editors that the deadline for inputs is the 31st October. Require 1 slide with main deliverables and approximate FTE and material costs over 10 years.

• Q: for physics and detectors some progress will happen anyway / be funded by non-project-specific activities, will you take that into account?
  A: yes. Even better if you are able to give estimates broken down in these two categories

• Q: can we be less precise when discussing years 5-10?
  A: yes

• Q: what are the goals of the R&D? What level should we aim for?
  A: Readiness for decision in 10 years. Likely CDR ready by then, will be confirmed with management and reported back.

• Q: when preparing R&D should we count only EU resources or more global (i.e. US)?
  A: global

 

Collective effects should be promoted to standalone section as in interim report
