Jean-Pierre presented the CLIC organization and perspectives in 2009 and beyond.
He started by summarizing activities in 2008, and stressed the vital role of collaborations. With new institutes joining the study, the CLIC community is constantly growing. He emphasized the importance of collaboration between ILC and CLIC, where a number of topics of common interest have been identified and presented the EuCARD activity in the European FP7 programme.
He summarized the major activities and milestones until 2010 namely:
•    Demonstrate feasibility of CLIC technology
•    Design of a linear Collider based on CLIC technology
•    Estimation of its cost (capital investment & operation)
•    CLIC Physics study and detector development
•    Conceptual Design Report to be published in 2010.
Jean-Pierre showed the present CLIC scenario, where the first stage is a 500 GeV machine with parameters very close to already demonstrated values, which will be upgraded to reach a luminosity close to the one of ILC. This machine will be upgraded in energy to 3 TeV cm, first again with conservative parameters and then upgraded to final performance..
He presented the status of the different parts and components of the machine including the detector. In order to be ready for a CDR by the year 2010, a list of critical items was established which need to be demonstrated and documented. Jean-Pierre then outlined the status of the CTF3 Test Facility and the structure development and testing at SLAC and KEK.
The shortest possible scenario for CLIC foresees the period after 2010 for technical design work, followed by a TDR in 2015. Project approval in 2016 would then lead to a first beam at 500 GeV end 2023. This scenario fits the CERN MTP which foresees a substantial increase of funding for the period between 2011 and 2016.
He showed the organizational development into a technical design phase after the CDR. A new task force was introduced to study the options for this phase, and the organization of the CLIC study has been updated to fit these requirements.
The former CLIC Meeting and the CLIC Design Committee will be joined into a more project-oriented meeting on a weekly basis with G.Geschonke as chairman and F.Tecker as secretary. In this meeting important news and decisions will be announced, it will have expert presentations about relevant topics with interactive discussions, and will eventually make recommendations for deciding bodies. The discussions will be documented in short minutes.
Finally, he announced two major events in 2009: A meeting of the Advisory Committee (ACE) on May 26-28 which will focus on R&D of critical feasibility issues, and the CLIC09 workshop 13-16 Oct.
During discussion, the present technically driven schedule scenarios for the LHC and SLHC, CLIC and ILC have been compared.

Herrmann introduced the motivation for the new EDMS structure in perspective of the technical design phase with increasing complexity of the project and the number of people involved.
Germana presented the EDMS CLIC structure foreseen as a unique source of information. It has been developed based on the CTC requirements for an overall nomenclature of the project, a complete CLIC Work Breakdown Structure, and related documentation for the CLIC baseline.
After a general introduction of EDMS, she showed the selected structure, some details of different sub-nodes, examples of EDMS documents and related features. Herrmann commented that the original conference presentations (PowerPoint, etc.) should be filed in EDMS to ease preparation of new presentations. Links can be made to other pages (Indico, CDS, etc.) but documents which are presently on web pages (which might have an uncertain, possibly limited life cycle) should be copied to EDMS where they are correctly archived to ensure long-term availablity.
The different nodes have a responsible person that can grant write access to a list of people, the read access is in principle public for most nodes. The list of node responsibles will be communicated after confirmation of the concerned persons.
EDMS can also be used for manufacturing and installation follow-up, as it was done for LHC, but this is presently not done for CLIC and will be decided at a later time.
 
Finally, Günther thanked Hans for his work of chairing the CLIC meeting during a number of years and announced the next meeting in two weeks on the test results and future work program of CLIC accelerating structures.
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
