Dear EDR Project
Management Team:
Preparation for the Fermilab GDE
meeting – 22.10 to 26.10. 2007.
The Kick off meetings are well along
– thanks to all for putting them together.
We have fairly high expectations for
the upcoming meeting. The purpose of this note is to indicate the most important
of these:
1)
we would like to collect draft work
package descriptions, including proposed institutional assignments, by the last
day of the meeting. There is a meeting at the end of the first day, to which all
Group Leaders should come, where initial work package information should be
available and where we can have a general question / answer session. (Include
management-related tasks as a work package). Be prepared to talk about the
manner in which the community was canvassed and expressions of interest were
solicited.
2)
As part of the meeting itself, be
prepared to talk about the agenda and goals for your parallel session, including
joint sessions (usually done).
3)
we would like to begin planning for
the next set of multi-day group-by-group meetings, to take place in the coming
winter and spring. Please be prepared to describe how best to organize these and
an appropriate charge.
4)
we would like to review your plans,
leading to the next GDE meeting (Tohoku,
John Carwardine, Tetsuo Shidara, and
Frank Lehner will help with the collation of your work package descriptions.
Thank
you,
Marc Ross, Akira Yamamoto, Nick
