  1. The recording of the meeting is on the agenda page https://indico.cern.ch/event/1482021/attachments/2972502/5247879/video1280679152.mp4
  2. There have been progress in many chapters, and we thank the contributors
    1. Horst and Dharm summarized the progress in Computing which has been greatly improved and where we expect further contribution from Bryan.
    2. Simon and Gihan updated the chapter on light sources by fixing the problematic African maps.
    3. In Instrumentaiton & Detectors, Ulrich integrated a section from Uli on small detectors & IoT, in addition to fixes. He mentioned the contribution on Underground Laboratories (PAUL), which was removed and later re-introduced in ASFAP report on verification from Lero.
    4. Steve and Rajaa reported on medical physics where there has been an improved version in Overleaf. They will discuss among themselves about the accelerators for medical applications and what they might still add on this. The physics of accelerators or accelerators as research facilities should be discussed in the Accelerators Chapter.
    5. Sanae has prepared a survey on accelerators. This survey is already distributed widely. We expect the survey results to be included.
    6. Iyabo is expecting from Benard and Benita a contribution in nuclear physics about the African participation in the EIC and Jefferson Lab physics. 
    7. Simon indicated that he is working to improve the chapters on light sources and nuclear physics. He intend to same for the particle physics chapter after Deepak.
    8. Deepak has been improving the particle physics chapter and expects to upload an improved version to Overleaf by next weekend. He will send a pdf file to Peter who has agreed to review it for additional comments for improvement. Kétévi will connect Deepak to the CMS folks of Egypt, Nigeria and Tunisia. When Deepak has finished with his improvements, Simon will look as stated above. 
  3. We reviewd the the agenda for the working meeitng in December in Egypt. Even if you will be participating online, we encourage you to be available durign the discussion sessions where we will try to understand in more detail the status of each chapter. Conveners of the discussion sessions will present their summaries on December 17. Folllowing the summary sessions, we will decide in the session dedicated to the "final report synthesis" which chapters should be retained and improved upon towards the final report symposium. If later other chapters have improved enough to be included, they will be reconsidered so long as there is still time—the draft of the entire report must be submitted to UNESCO for copy-editting and formatting, then to the IAC for comments, well in time for the symposium on September 22-25, 2025. Therefore, there will have to be a cutoff date after which inlcusion of additional chapters will no longer be entertained. For the people that will participate in person, we assume that you have made your travel arrangements  (flight and visa if necessary) and have been responding to our local contacts to prepare your arrival and stay.
