      Discussion / organization 1h
      * tasks (imaging simulations, vacuum design, search for best place in LHC) * time line (staged approach ? what can we do in LS1 ? ) * funding (what are the options ? potential external collaborators, ...) * collaborative tools (web pages, info sharing, meetings...) * other applications of this idea ? (injector complex ?)
      Speaker: All
