News
Phil reported on the recent ALCWS. It was clear that the Japanese are still very serious about hosting the machine, with the decision-making process expected to take another year or so. There are ongoing activities at high political levels, including a Japanese delegation going to Washington.
Power Estimates
Konstantin could not attend the meeting, but provided slides outlining his estimates of the power consumption of the tracker. The discussion of these calculations will be continued by e-mail and next month.
Requirements
Georg presented a list of further requirements fo be incorporated, including points for clarification and discussion. It was agreed that although the requirements are hosted on a wiki, JG should act as editor, so he will add Georg's list.
Strawman Module
Wing has made a first CAD drawing of a module. This should be viewed as a strawman, agnostic (or easily adaptable) to future technology choices.
AOB
It was agreed that someone (probably Joost) should give a talk on our activties at the forthcoming CLIC meeting
